ahhhhhh…. decals!
some good painting there. some straight lines unlike mine on the carriers.
may i suggest trying washes on your battle ships NOT the aircraft carriers though. the batle ships have lots of nooks and detail for a dark grey or brown wash to pull out the detail.

Try it on just one. dip a brush in a dark colour, brown works well for me. Dip the brush brush in some water and nudge the brush on the side and you will see how strong the paint is still. Keep dipping until you like the water/paint ratio. dont panic if it covers the model all over and is too thick it happens to me still just thin the brush more and apply more watered down paints until it thins and use the brush to soak up bits which are too thick.
it sounds more complicated than it is just start with a very watered down wash and see. it useally takes an hour to dry with acrylics but its the last thing mostly anyway

nice… I´m working on my army as well… slow but steady :)
If you want me to be honest i think that you have potencial.
Some things that could improve your work:
I don’t think anyone here claimed to be a professional… So obviously this is all amateur work.
Well… Don´t know what to say?!
I think that everyone that is painting their units are just doing it for fun. It´s not like we are trying to massproduce the troops and sell them…
We´re all amateurs and not spending all of our time and money on it…
But since I´m a nice person I´ve answered your other post about decals… Which I use for some of my units…
If you want me to be honest i think that the painting looks very amateur.
Some things that could improve your work:
- Use a base black spray coat from warhammer.
- put more water on ink so that is not to thick.
- use decalcs for roundels, don´t paint roundels cause that gives a really low quality look.
nope i am not a profesional i just like painting. i just thought i would share the way i am doing mine which is a bit differrent i also like to see other peaples to compare interpretations of colour style and ideas which i like and borrow for my own.
i agree with the decals especially the american ones i struggel to do straight lines and stars . a black base coat takes away colour and makes it dull, a white coat is better.
ANYways whats the point in it all when last night i was playing europe with my wife and she kept attacking me with backwards faceing t34s :-D

He was showing what he did not what you can buy. Calling it amatuer is just plain mean.

:Don’t let the naysayers hold you back, they are just lacking in some part of them self.
Game on!
i still think that they’re great. im considering starting to paint my peices.
Lets try to encourage the progress of these people and not tear them down with insults. Its ok to give tips on how to do better, but lets not judge the work in any light other than a positive one.
If you can do better, then do it and post. You can only raise the bar and encourage others to do the same.
