I agree with thinning your paints, that silver is a little too thick .

Also give the model a black wash on the metallic sections (i cant tell if you have on the armour as the pictures are a little dark) - it will help break up the silver and give some depth to the model which will in turn compliment the highlights!

1 - during construction of the model, make sure you keep your 'main' edges crisp. This makes it much easier to pick them out later.

2 - Use a size 2 brush. A lot of people start out by trying to use a tiny brush because they see that edge highlights are thin and delicate. The problem is this actually make is much harder work as the paint dries on the brush much quicker. Using the tip of a larger brush is, perhaps counter intuitively, much easier.

With that said, in the main they are looking good in your photos and you can always go back with your base colour and tidy them up ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/520210/5496381.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/520210/5496381.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/520210/5498234.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/520210/5498234.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/520210/5498332.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/520210/5498332.page GMT DA.
