Hay all.

Ok i only started painting few months ago and i did one model then i had to stop for a good 6month+ as had no space to setup anywhere to paint.

So i stared in my second model tonight and its a ork with a open face helmet and i find it very hard to paint his face without getting the teeth and parts of helmet painted as well :(

I am using a citadel fine detail brush but even that feels to big for the job.

Do i need a even smaller brush or is it just what us noobs do starting out lol

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks.

I did try again last night and made more a of a mess i think i am getting worst not better it seems lol.

I my main problem is when i did the primer i may of made it to thick on the face area and making hard to pick out details.

I should have some spare heads from my other boxset so i will try take off the head and restart that bit if i can.

Cheers.

Cheers plastictrees

I been checking my paint bush make sure its got a good point so thats ok.

Been watering down my paints and some times i think i make them to thin lol.

I have now taken the head off and got a spare ready to go on but before i put it on i am going to prime and paint it on its own.

It will make easy for me as well to do the chest part of the model as well

Thx
