Learning NMM. Finally sat down and finished this sword

My NMM isn't quite there yet but I'm happy with it. Gotta start somewhere.

In hindsight I probably should've picked a simpler sword, but I thought this one fit better with the mini.

Thank you! The other commenter is right, it's non metallic metal. The goal is to paint something to look metallic while using regular matte paints. It's how traditional painters represent shiny metal like armor and jewelry.
