[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9819808, member: 4534"] This I feel is the single most important bit of advice. Do not judge your work based on what you see in magazines or from professional painters. Your painted miniature looks better than your unpainted miniature and this is especially true when you have a large number of models on the table. I have only witnessed this phenomenon with Reaper Bones (white Bones at that) miniatures. I haven't had this problem with Bones (Black), Citadel, Modiphius, Monument Hobbies, Privateer Press, etc., etc. Just Reaper Bones which are made of some odd, soft plastic. If the model is made of a hard plastic, you should be fine with rattle cans. It is. Though I encourage people to try, it's even okay not to paint the eyes. Most people probably aren't going to notice from three feet away. I have mixed feelings about slapchop. But it's not a bad place to start. You can really learn about layering and dry brushing which will carry over to most other techniques you use. You and me both. :-( I'm going to have to do something because a lot of tiny details are lost on me. [/QUOTE]
