As someone who paints to advanced tabletop, mold lines and prep take a relatively greater amount of time than were I to paint to a higher level. So contrast paints and speedpaints don’t help as much as colored primers, especially when I find a gap or mold line I missed, and should reprime again. I also paint often at night, when you can’t spray prime. Not allowed to use an airbrush in the house, and I like cleaning things even less so than prep. Of course, if any company ever creates a paint that gets rid of mold lines and fills gaps…

AP Quickshade Inks are good, but the sets have two greens, and the flesh never worked for me, except for abominations. They’re also lacking a grey for shading white. Vallejo wash works for grey. Vallejo 200ml brown and black are messy, so I put them into eyedroppers.

Painting is still outside of my comfort zone. These miniatures aren’t going to paint themselves, and, at least I have something tangible at the end of it, unlike video games and creating digital content.
