I have worked a bit more on painting Brother Deino. The Crux Terminatus and the Gold decorations are now finished and the only parts left are some of the small decorative pieces and fixing spilled paint here and there.

I tried here a new technique for painting gold. Because it is notoriously difficult to get gold paint to cover black undercoat, I mixed some brown paint with gold for the first layer. The brown helped in creating a better and more consistent basecoat and it was easier to work with brighter golden colours from there.
