What brand is the gold and silver paint Tommy? The best I've seen. Thanks armorguy. Silver is just tamiya chrome silver. Gold was from this set ![](https://i.ibb.co/t8fNtsB/IMG-6488.jpg) Base was antique gold, then El dorado. I finished off the buttons with shiny gold. Also aged his face by ten years though need to age by another ten, me thinks. ![](https://i.ibb.co/2hRFBz9/IMG-6486.jpg)

His decorations are done, for now at least ![](https://i.ibb.co/pvPkC2r/IMG-6492.jpg) and aged him a little more. ![](https://i.ibb.co/9t0mqdz/IMG-6493.jpg)
Just wondering how to get a silk effect on the satin sash!

Thanks guys. He has had a coat of VMS gloss. Went to his shrine in Harajuku this morning but not much to see. ![](https://i.ibb.co/YT19X4G/IMG-6495.jpg)
