What can I say. If you really want to improve your painting skills get the best paint possible for price range. Get the right sized brushes. Watch tutorials and read guides as they provide the true in and outside of painting skills and tips and brush strokes that help give life to a model. Find a scale practice with then move up or down in scale. For me I first started painting 1 72 scale them went up to mega fig scale. As you can see the 172 army man has very little detail due to one being painted when I was in middle school and two lacking paint colors and brushes. You can even see the original toy story paint theme he had originally. The smallest knight took only 20 mins to do tonight. The Regency soldier I did just the other day in the span of 3 hours along with the others. The giant in the room took 6 hours to do including breaks and adding additional coats and a wash today. Find your passion and roll on into it.
