Tutorial - Painting Marble

Hey!
As i tried to paint a base with a marble floor today i want to share my experience with you.
Let's start!
First, you need something to paint, in my case i have made a simple gaming base for a Space Marine.
To start of i mixed these three colors, Skull White, Bleached Bone and a Basic Skintone, you can also use a little bit of Dheneb Stone or something similar...
Thin the color a little bit with water and brush it roughly on the surface with long strokes going in the same direction, you can see what i mean by looking at the picture. This step is pretty important.
Now i mixed a bit of Black into the basecolor to create a darker tone.
I started to redefine the lines of the brushstrokes and add some additional lines. The pattern looks a little bit like lightning strokes.
Redefining the pattern even more by adding more smaller strokes
Now i mixed Vallejo Sepia Ink with Devlan Mud and added this mix to the base border.
I also redefined the shadow of the step.
To bring all colors together and add a first gloss coat i painted over the whole surface with thinned Tamiya Clear Smoke.
Now i added a coat of Future Floor Acrylics to "polish" the floor. You can just use some Gloss Varnish (Vallejo).
And here is the finished Product:
I hope you liked the step by step :)
Cheers,
Raffa

Could you please fix the pictures. In this article and in many others the links are broken. Too bad, there's lots of precious information in your tutorials but they heavily rely on those pictures.
Thanks for the update. I will tell Raffa and he will add the pictures again.
