But all the tiny little details like the scroll cannisters, chains and some other things are really doing my head in. I try as hard as i can to be as detailed as possible and yet i still cant seem to be able to stop my details ending up looking terrible.

The tiny detail bug me as i always seem to manage to get the adjacent colours either overlapping, or almost ALWAYS the dark colours going all over the things im going to paint white, cream or bone. (normally where theres a crevasse that you cant get to easily so in order to get the brush in there it hits something else one the way in, like in this case I had to get to some armour underneath a sash, but ended up getting blue all over the underside of the sash too).

Is there some technique im missing or literally buy a smaller brush and practice getting more and more accurate with the brush tip?


Many thanks again guys. Sorry for this one but its really beginning to get on my nerves.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153756.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153756.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153761.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153761.page GMT
Think i should also say that the brush im using is a GW smallest brush you can buy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153776.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153776.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153781.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153781.page GMT
In the meantime, I use a small brush and use dry brushing for small details like the chains and scrolls and such. So many people have been saturated with "detail" painting the edges of the model parts that they forget to discuss dry brushing for more "organic" parts of a model, or to get the "weathered" look. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153806.page GMT
I also have found that im always watering down my paints and i would personally say that i do have steady hands, but bracing myself more couldnt hurt.

EDIT: by "i dont have a problem" i mean i can do them and need to practice my current tehnique for them, but ive got grips on doing them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153827.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153827.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153851.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153851.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153968.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/329911/2153968.page GMT
