Re: [GZG] Painting Guide for Starships

I'd agree with Jon's suggested painting techniques.

Most painters put the wash on way too thick. It looks cool when wet but 
dries all over the model and makes it look dirty.

I recoomend making a wash out of inks, thin then about 4-1 with water and 
maybe use a mizture of black and brown ink. So maybe 4 parts water to 1 part 
brown ink and 1 part black ink. You might also put a drop of detergent in. 
This breaks the surface tension and helps the wash stay in the cracks.

When applying the wash apply it in the deepest recesses.

There are also articles on making up a dip often making use of arcane 
ingredients like floor polishes. This allows you to dunk the model in and 
shake off the excessl and voila it's done.

Here's a link to our club's forum article on dipping

I'd look on star ranger for iedeas about painted minatures.
