Welcome to the second part of this year's Dreadtober challenge. In Part 1 I spelled out the plan, and now I'm plowing ahead with it. To start, I shook up a can of Krylon 18kt Gold Plate spray paint and took it and this hunk of metal outside and blasted away. Afterwards I used classic Chestnut ink (I am so glad I still have some of this!) and used it to darken all the joints and recesses.

And then I used
Abaddon Black to basecoat the areas that are going to end up a silvery metal as opposed to gold.

That's all the progress I made on the miniature itself, but I did almost finish his base. Just a few minor things to finish on it (the skull and bullet casings specifically) and it's done.

We'll see how much further I get with this next week, but so far this is rolling along well.

Basing aside, it almost sounds like you're following the same method of painting that I used on my Golden Urbanmech (no idea WTF else I am going to need the almost full can of gold Krylon for...).
Not sure if I know what that is, but this is the same technique I have used on all of my Celestial Lions. I suppose in the next post I need to add a link back to some of those posts...
