Red Armor glow effect:
1. Apply a (thick glaze) 1:1 mixture of Citadel - Wild Rider Red and Water with brush strokes in the direction of the "simulated light source". Examples are the shoulder pads, the raised chest, the front of the helmet and the left arm. It's important to use only a few points close to the "light source" areas to sell the effect!
2. Use the mix from the top to add edge highlights to the weapon casing around the "light source".
3. Use a (thick glaze) 1:1 mix of Citadel - Flash Gitz Yellow and water to intensify the highlights on the gun casing and armor by that are closest to the "light source".
4. Apply a full coat of Vallejo Premium - Satin Varnish 62.063 with a brush or airbrush.
5. Done!
