[GZG] Painting Guide for Starships

Hi Guys,

Talked to wife, and should be getting some GZG ships for Christmas.  I
just need some tips as to how to paint them.  My last attempt didn't
work out that well.

I want to stick with a base color for each main power (ESU, NAC, NSL,
FSE) which went well enough.  But tried to apply a black ink wash which
didn't work out as well.

I'll end up reapplying a base coat to the older ones, and apply primer
and a base coat to the newer ones.  I still plan on trying to do a wash
on them to add some shadow.  But other than that, I'm looking for ideas.
Something simple that I can apply uniformly across a main power.
Nothing too elaborate, but something that will look nice on a tabletop
that won't take hours per ship to paint.  (Hours being relative...  I
know some of you can work minor miracles on figures in 15 minutes.  I
don't have that level of skill......)

So I'm looking for ideas, hints and tips.  Pictures of other craft
and/or painting guides would be appreciated.  Even if it's just how to
better apply a wash.  (I have the recipe for 'magic wash' from the list,
but I think I went bad by adding too much ink to it.)

I know this is a vague request.  I'm not even sure myself what I'm
looking for.  So for now, I'm just looking....

Thanks a bunch.  Hope all your holidays are happy.  Hope to see a bunch
of you at ECC.
