Care to explain?

No dilution = it messed up the miniature. Minimal dillution (1/1 with water, they usually recommend even higher rates) - it did not have any effect.

Ah...i would paint minatures but i know im 2 clumsy 2 make them look good...

Yeah, right, and I'm a Golden Demon winner... no way. :bleh:

Just keep trying, every once in a while you'll figure out how to do this or that, and through small jumps your painting will improve steadily. If you want to have a look, there is a bunch of useful tutorials on my site. :ok:

And this is my newest paintjob:

The images are links to larger pictures (50-70k apiece)

I love the hand drawn details on the boots :ok:

And, to hand off another of my secrets... I don't use water at all. Only to remove the old paint from the brush. We all have our own techniques, and stick to what we do best. And from what I can see, your technique is perfect suited to you :kosta:

Glad to hear that. The whole miniature took me about :whistle: 40 hours (about half of which were all the freehands)

Actually, I water my paints down a fair bit by now. Helps a lot. While doing that, I also found an alternative to inks. Dilluting the paint with a lot of water, to be specific. This sort of washes/glazes actually work much better then inks.

Darn... I should try to get hold of a good digital cam and post some of my miniatures. We can't have only one topic for miniatures, can we? ;)

Nice job, really life-like. :ok:

euuhhhhh......my mouth is watering! Those are awesome, horseman! I don't paint at all, because I suck. I am so clumsy, it drips everywhere, etc, etc, etc. I think Tom Henrik had some points. The paint is too thick. But that's okay, it gives them a more "old" look!

I am a little confused: you guys buy these kits and then paint them? Thats all you do?

Anyway, very good! :ok:
