I don't use Quickshade, rather I use Minwax polyshades which is the nearly identical product that people used before Quickshade was "invented". The results are essentially the same.

I've got both Minwax and Quickshade dips. I find the Quickshade to be a bit better at settling into the "cracks" compared to Minwax (but it is far more expensive). Also, I really like the Dark Tone Quickshade for some things, and that one you cannot replicate with the Minwax (the black Minwax makes a solid coat of black).

The Space Marine in this pic was done using the Dark Tone (not the best paintjob, it was just a color scheme test so I didn't care about perfection):

Au Contraire my friend. You can replicate Dark Tone with Minwax Polyshades. The "black" polyshades is solid black, but you just have to find somewhere that carries (or order) the "Tudor" shade. I get it at Ace Hardware and it's as close as you could want to "Dark Tone".

The Neo Soviets, Sedition Wars Vangaurd and possibly the Skellies were all done with Tudor. It's become my go-to shade for most things now, though I still use Antique Walnut (aka "Strong Tone") for anything that could use a brown tint.

Sorry, but for a lot of things, I need actual black, not really dark brown.
