Here is the way of checker patterns. In my technique.

Good stuff.

Wow, never thought of doing it that way.

nice

Is that Apple Barrel paint in the background? Now I don't feel so guilty! The checks look great.

good stuff, thanks!

I kept looking at the shoulderpad through the different photos and was like "what the heck, where's the technique? They're all finished!"

then I realized I was missing something obvious.

As for the apple barrel paint, i do use it on some stuff, Bases, Drybrushing tanks, that kind of thing. Considering those things dont really need super quality paint.

Yeah, the first time I was doing a base with citadel paint I got 3 strokes in, realized how much it would take and was like... wait, no. I got some $1.79 no-name paint from the craft store, and have been using it since. Even if you use the finest of paints on your minis, you should definitely have at least a tube of black and white of the cheap stuff.
