2. Another thing you could try are toothpicks. They have a fairly fine point on them and if you need to get that point back after a while, just carve it down with a hobby knife (carefully i might add).

3. If you have something that can hold your models you can try using a very fine tipped brush, while supporting your brush hand with your other hand. Just lightly breathe outward as you paint. Sounds odd, but it is a technique that photographers use when they don't have a tripod to take pictures. Helps steady yourself.

Hope those tips helps!

Dont use the tip of your brush. Use the side.

This is the best post. What angle you have the brush on will also affect how much paint is applied to what surface.

If you want to use layers for the highlighting then obviously you use a thicker brush/press more for the base coats then for the lighter ones you go much more gently and possibly use a thinner brush.

Don't be afraid to apply the paint back over on the main model if you accidentally screw up (unless you're using an uneven paintcoat, in which case you'll have to edge the whole thing then paint a whole area again to blend it in) then it shouldn't be noticeable; accidents happen and we get better over time]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498680/5190233.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/498680/5190233.page GMT
