Holy Grail Re-Paint

Thought I'd show off my paint job on my Holy Grail. This was from PastorJedi's run. I liked the inside gold leafing, but wanted to try my own paintjob for the outside. It was fun to do, but a little frustrating. Seems like different grails were used from scene to scene. And the lighting changed the appearance quite a bit too. Photos of grails on the web all seemed different too, so there was no one true Grail to try to match the paint job with. Still, I am happy with it.

I first primed it, then brushed on a custom mix red/brown color from those simple acryllic bottles of paints from any craft store. For the gold, I used a Krylon gold leaf pen, which worked really well. The patina was another custom mix of acryllic paints dry brushed on.
