Sorry for the wait, but here they are (2 down, one to go)
First I started with some spraycan with a color labeled as "Old Gold" (plain and pale gold was a better name IMO), I hoped it to be much darker.
As you can see, the gold is far to yellow/gold for the P2, so I had to order some Tamiya acrylics to do some coloring. (numbers will be posted later)
On the basecoat, I started by dabbing two shades of copper
While this looked far better, I still thought I needed some more shaded area's
I then mixed an acrylics based black shining spraycan to the mix (drops at the time for safety) and toned down my coppers to fill in the recesses. After it cured, I added a gold highlight pass for the risen surfaces like the brow and the cheekbones
This is pretty much the final product, far from what I wanted (opted for more coppertones but wasn't really satisfied with what the spraycan-black did to my Tamiya, but satisfying none the less. Still have to do some copper corrosion in the form of a wash though, might do that sometime soon.
Now I completely forgot to take photo's of the P1, but the idea is roughly the same as the tutorial found in the tutorial section: basecoat of plain aluminum silver (bright but dull), fill in the recesses with gunmetal (no blacks whatsoever) and sponge on two tones of silver again to give it a more mixed and less uniform look. Tapping the result with the tip of a near dry brush for some weathering and add a little metallic brown wash for some rusty coloring here and there.

and the two together:
And remember kids: this is just my first paintup of armor, ever.
