Yeah, black.

I'm at wits end here gang.  How do I learn this when I'm ruining minis
hand over fist?   I only have a handfull resin ships, which I haven't
seen
a way to strip them when I totally botch the paint job.  The only other
ships
I have are a set of new NSL from Jon.  I'm not going near those again
until
I get something that works.  What do I practice on?

How I got into this mess:
I went to the respected local game store and was pointed to the local
painting guru.	He looked at what I wanted and what I had and suggested
drybrushing and said I should
prime in black then 3 drybrush layers: dark grey, medium grey, then
light
grey.

The dry brushing killed all the detail on the first mini.  Hand painting
isn't much better.

I just want a simple easy paint job that won't get me laughed at.

Mike
