⚔️This time I'm showing how I paint the gems on He-Man's armor and chest emblem.

The process starts with a black base, followed by a light dry brush of chrome paint only on the raised ridges of the gems. This creates a bright highlight on the upper part of each gem while leaving the lower area darker, giving them much more depth once the transparent red is applied.

For the final finish, I use Tamiya X-27 Clear Red, a transparent paint that provides incredible depth and a beautiful glossy appearance.

Apply the X-27 very gently. Instead of dragging the brush across the surface, place small drops and carefully spread them. Otherwise, the paint can reactivate the chrome layer underneath and cause the colors to mix.

I use exactly the same technique on both the armor gems and He-Man's chest emblem.

What do you think of the result? 💎🤘
