Advanced Mixed NMM Tutorial

When we talk about non-metallic metal (NMM), we always think of a technique where acrylic paints for modeling, to carry out a succession of painting steps, where we try to imitate the brightness, contrasts, reflections, and shadows of metal, without using a single metallic color.

We make the brain believe that what it sees and interprets is metal illuminated by some external light source and that this light produces a reflection on the surface. But what would you say if we say that we can go a little further, and mix the non-metallic metal technique in a mixed technique, with real metallic paints. This way you get an even more incredible effect and, above all, simple to use for your models.

With this incredible tutorial from our partner Roi (El Roi Miniatures), you will be able to master this Mixed NMM technique in a few easy-to-reproduce steps, which we are sure will be useful for any project in which you want to apply a new technique that combines the best of both finishes: our metallic colors and the quality of Maxx Formula paints.

Follow our artist's advice and practice the Mixto NMM technique on any surface. Remember not to worry if the results are different from what the artist shows. Every painting style is different and therefore unique!
