help on advanced painting

i love my modeling and see some dio’s and models and they have all this great painting detail and i wonder how do they do that it gives an extra dimension to the model. i hear all this talk about undercoats and hi-lighting. then i go down to my locale hobby shop and there are hundreds of paints and i have no idea which undercoat to use or which paint i need to use to hi-light. so i was wondering if someone could give me a brief overview on all this. thanks a lot

Hey Floxy. Check out the links on your other post and they should cover everything you need to know. Plus a lot of practice will help.

Another link I thought of that will be very helpful is Swanny’s Models. Just go to the tools and tips section and there is a wealth of information.

Oh, and by the way… [#welcome] to the forums. I hope your stay here will be a pleasant and learning experience.
