To my great joy the family crest of Duitgenius was polychromed in full glory, which means painted in multiple colours. Rómulo has had quite a bit of work doing all the, guilding, base coats, silver plating and several coats of colour.
He added depth to the colour by several layers of paint with accents in a slightly different hue. He also added a patina to the layer of silver, giving the relief more visual depth.
Rómulo has begun polychroming of the coat-of-arms. Polychroming is just a fancy word for painting something in multiple colours. In this case the colours are red, green, gold and silver. In terms of heraldry that would be gule, vert or sinople, or and argent.
On a large part of the relief the base coat in white can still be seen, grey and yellow. Actually we shouldn't take a look in the kitchen before the cook serves the food, but I trust the reader to understand that a lot of finishing touches will follow. When everything is painted, the last parts of the helmet will be gilded. When everything is painted, the last parts of the helmet will be gilded.
