All I do is "base" the jewel in silver, then coat it in one of Testors' colored metallic paints. They've got a wide range that can make a beautiful jewel appearance. Unless NMM is what you're looking for, of course. |

I, um, well. I use a real stone! For my Mines of Moria Gandalf I snipped a hole in his staff at the top and plonked a tiny stone on top - the kind you find when you go sifting for precious stones. I'm imagining though that you're painting flatter ones, like on shields... which I can't say I have any advice for, sorry. But the precious stones are useful for Basing Dwarves as well!

Hehe. I remember painting my MoM Fellowship, and I had a small jar of precious stones sat on my painting table from a holiday, and I was saving them in case I found some use for them. And then I was like O_O and it dawned on me! |
