[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8764914, member: 11"] I am a “table-ready” guy not a display guy, so I just want the, to look good enough on the table in use, so not the person to give detailed advice about high quality paint jobs but here is my own approach for what it’s worth. [INDENT][LIST] [*]Start with a cheap and simple mini you don’t care too much about. It is good to build up towards more detailed things. And it feels great to look back and compare. My first minis were some mostl naked lizardfolk, which taught me how to drybrush green scales over black for a great textured look. [*]Like Stormonu, I use cheap paints and whatever paints i can get my hands on, craft paints, vallejo, reaper, citadel, whatever works. [*]I prime everything black. I mean, everything. [*]For me a good mini is a done mini and there will always be more, so rather than obsess (i have ruined more than one detail doing it over and over til the face looks like Eric Stoltz in Mask 😂), I move on knowing the next one will be better. [*]Invest in a mini-holder, but some blue tack and a soda bottle cap also works esp. if you end up doing like me and working on 6 to 12 minis at a time. [/LIST][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
