I had picked up a few bottles of a different brand a few months back just to pratice with...I forget the brand, but it was also acrylic paint and when I messed around with it on a fodder figure, I got really frustrated because it went on very thick, and no matter what I did, it left very obvious brush strokes behind...I just couldn't get smooth coats. I started thinking that I just didn't have the touch. Then I asked around, and most folks told me to go with Testors acrylic paint...I picked up a few of the sets with the flip top lids in a hobby store, and that's what I used on the Kaos Crew dude...holy shit, what a difference. Nice, thin coats, and it went on smooth as butter, with no brush strokes visible at all. I was f'in giddy when I saw how well the Testors stuff worked and how easy it was to work with. Anyway, I'm getting more ASAP, probably the more expensive Model Masters paint they put out. Worth every dime, I'm sure.

Yeah, I love Model Masters. Thing I have noticed lately, is that I have been getting some bottles of paint from them, that are on the thin side. Ends up taking an extra coat or two to get good coverage. Still bonds better than anything else I have tried.
One thing I'll add is, giving whatever paint you use a few weeks to cure, before you handle it too much is a good idea. The finish will be much more durable. Once again, Nice looking figure, especially for a first go. Looking forward to more.

I like what you'd done here... really nice.
A little paint wash on the mask would make it perfect |

Now that you can paint, it certainly opens up a whole new world of custom possibilities. Very nice job, Sir!
