How to paint in detail on small minis

This is the smallest miniature I have painted so far (2cm height). It turned out quite messy when you look at it in detail. How do you paint those extra mini miniatures? How much detail is even possible to achive?

Vallejo introductory or advanced

Hi all,

I’m new to painting and looking at getting a set. I am tossing up between the Vallejo introductory or advanced set.

I already have Citadel;

  • Corax White
  • Leadbelcher
  • Kantor Blue
  • Redtributor Armour
  • Stirland Mud
  • Agrax
  • mournfang brown
  • abandon black

Is the intro set doubling up too much or would I be better getting the advanced and purchasing a few select one offs (red, yellow, green)?

Thanks!

Are there any good online coaches that do personal lessons?

Hi,

im new and got sucked into watching countless videos and started painting my first minis. I now started experimenting with different equipment. From color brands to different brushes and i have so many questions on how to handle the painting process and how to properly use everything.

I could not find any online lessons where i could just hop on a discord call for example and show someone what im doing so we can improve my work.

Recommended Australian hobby stores? Online or brick and mortar

I'm looking for recommendations for good places to buy paints and tools and stuff. Right now I'm considering buying myself an airbrush setup for Christmas. I've narrowed down the actual airbrush to a few choices, and I could easily just order one from Amazon or something.
So far I haven't been able to work out where to buy other stuff (compressor, tubes, spray booth, respirator, etc) where I can get something good enough without being upsold stuff I don't need or completely breaking the bank.

Obvious choices like HobbyCo strike me as probably overpriced. A major art supply store like Eckersley's might be overpriced too. Does anyone have any good recommendations? Bonus if they're likely to have Black Friday sales.

Finally Decided How I want to Paint My Death Guard But I Need Help

So long story short, I want to make them like molding oranges. I feel like stippling is how I would go about creating that green and white mold effect like you would get on fruit. Does anyone know any videos with techniques or tips I could use to create such an effect? Thanks for any help.

Mold is hard to kill brothers!
