The best thing you can do is to read the forums. Spend a couple of hours reading through the old threads in the Painting forums and you’ll learn all kinds of techniques. Then its just a matter of practice.
The FSM sites also makes some print and download versions of how to books on modeling
If you really want to up your builds, you need an airbrush. Not just for painting, but for weathering too. There’s no way around it if you ask me.
