Good to see that your beginning of the model is just as humble as mine, gives me hope.
Nice work. NMM is such a chore.

NMM is one of those things that I understand the concept, but haven't got the faintest idea how to do, even with stage by stage instructions it made no sense.

It took a few tries for me to achieve an acceptable (not professional) result. Basically it's all about thin paint, 14+ steps of shades, highlights and layers, lots of blending up and down the colourscale and a good grasp of where to build up the extreme highlights and deep shades. I really appreciate it for it's artistic value and the required technical expertise needed but it is almost impractical for anything other than display work.
All that being said this piece is shaping up to be ace!

yeah, those are all skills I never mastered either

If you ever give it a go, try something fairly simple like a sword. Just a nice straight sword. Because as mentioned, knowing where to put the highlights is harder than being able to paint them; a crude, 5 layer, poorly blended NMM model can still look surprisingly good if the colours are all in the right spots. (Even if it does look like it's a bit unfinished and you're going to blend it all later.)
