True, i did not washed them. I was afraid it would lesser the bright aspect. I could have wahsed black and then re put some few mithril silver points, but i was unsure of the result.
I wanted a shiny aspect for elves are in my mind clad in mithril chain mail, not classical steel. So the blinking aspectsuits them well. Maybe a little too artificial, i recognise it. I may make some few tests and see what to do. Everything is still possible, even is they are based.
