I buy upgraded parts, and also Green Stuff my own. However, I do buy custom pieces more than GSing, so that's what I voted for.

Great poll.
Although I voted for decals, I do paint a lot of detail on freehand and also use moulded upgrades. There's a lot of factors at play here: Unit type, ease of transfer placement (flat spaces are easier than shoulder pads), space for transfer, the design I'm looking for.. and so on.

I couldn't work out decals - they always looked like they were about to peel off to me, so I do some detail (eyes) by hand, but the larger stuff I just ignore.

if i', doing details I'll use an ultra fine brush, thougb i find for symbols and things, especially on vehicles i find that using a fine felt pen can really help.

It depends. For Space Marine vehicles, chapter waterslide transfers are great. Same with Eldar runes. I will free hand text/writing on banners, though. (actual words, like naming models, not just squiggles on purity seals, although that works too )

I could have answered this question several ways. If there isn't any detail on the model i'll paint freehand or sculpt with GS if i have the time/patience.

I prefer to have a mixture of GW bitz with added details, Green Stuffing my own details as I am pretty good at it and free hand painting the remainder. I try at all costs to avoid the decals as I have always felt that they simply do not look as good as the other aforementioned options.

In the past I've always tried to freehand things like insignias and numbers, but I'm not particularly good at it and I think I'll probably switch to using decals on future projects.

Most of the time I draw the symbols with a thin black marker pen, and then fill the colours in (I'm not too good at painting freehand symbols without liners). Sometimes I take them from codex etc or just invent my own, depends on the model.

I like to use decals for chapter/clan logos and then paint over them. This actually helped me to understand freehanding, which I use for other small details such as numbers, ork dags etc.

I cant piant well at a decent enough level to do fine details so I don't bother.
Tried it once, mess up totally and had to re-do the entire paintjob so I havent bothered again!

I kept screwing up decals because I am clumsy I started painting the Fists sigil freehand because all my decals got torn up. Now I like my fist design better than GW's (but FW's is still nice).

Hi there. My first post on Dakka here!
I like to paint fine details by hand. I would make custom waterslide decals, but I don't like the finish they give and I find them far more fiddly to apply than simply painting the detail on.

I find decals are a bit too fiddly for me so I mainly leave my shoulder pads etc blank. However, I did do an ok job on a cape recently
