As for the highlighting I think that gets quicker with practice, but even after a few years of painting it will still take some time when applying a high level of detail on one miniature.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339267/2319914.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339267/2319914.page GMT A quick question about assembly/painting http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339267/2320079.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339267/2320079.page GMT A quick question about assembly/painting SM, leave off backpack and arms/bolter) then basecoating and perhaps washing the separate sections makes life easier. Half-covered bits like the chest details get finished before final assembly. If you save the highlights until you've fully assembled, it allows you to mimic a consistent light source and get a unified final look without having to work around the fiddly bits during the entire process.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339267/2320084.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339267/2320084.page GMT A quick question about assembly/painting

I get compliments on the paint jobs of my models, but it's rare that someone picks one up and stares at it to look for imperfections.So I think that's really up to you. You can still achieve a great looking model without painting it as you build. .

I have started leaving off the gun, backpack, and head on my space marines. I don't worry about the arms since the parts they cover won't really be seen much anyway. I find I can paint the heads much better if I mount them on a piece of wire stuck into the end of a wine cork. But really it is up to you based on how good your brush control is and what level of quality you are going for.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339267/2320160.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339267/2320160.page GMT Re:A quick question about assembly/painting http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339267/2320268.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/339267/2320268.page GMT
