| Basic Guide to Brush Painting. I've had quite a few questions aked over the last couple of months concerning brush-painting models, so here's a (very) rough guide which might help some of you. I apologise if it seems a bit long-winded at the begining, but I'm a firm believer in knowing how things work, and a little understanding of how the materials one is using actually behave can help in achieving better results. Also, the sketches, included at the end of the PDF, are very rough, as this article was originally 'thrown together' a year ago, to help Karl, so I'm afraid the illustrations are very basic! I hope it proves useful!

| I have just discovered this shortly after applying a criminally schlonky paint job to a 1/72 Spitfire... sooner or later, in spite of myself, I might find myself applying some quality control... Many thanks Terry, really useful! |
