[QUOTE="Dragon Snack, post: 4064753, member: 9810"] Then it won't take you long to abandon the craft paints... I still use some craft paints, but quality tools give you quality work. Some craft paints (reds, yellows, and purples) can take multiple coats to come out decent, not to mention any shading or detail. I've seen some great minis painted with craft paints, but as you saw the last time you painted minis - it takes time (and/or loads of talent) to get them 'just right'. My brushes: Windsor and Newton Series 7 (that's a great price, I thought I got mine cheap). A quality brush not only gives you better control, but also lasts longer (I'm counting in years with my current W&Ns, instead of [i]minis[/i] with any of the cheaper brushes I tried). Keep a cheap brush around for drybrushing or getting into nooks and crannies. My paints: Reaper Master Series Paints, combined with my W&Ns they improved my painting by leaps and bounds. I use Reaper Pro Paints and craft paints for brybrushing and bases/terrain. [/QUOTE]
