John Alberts:
Nice!

Henry:

Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions, there are so many to try (including the crock pot slow "cooking"!). By the way, I'm currently painting the Emperor's Triumph set from Neckel. Some of those suggestions have already been implemented, especially the thinner layer technique. Here are the results. However, I think I'll open a new post once the set is finished (or nearly finished).

 Henry  Try getting some  really thin cardboard and put your paint on that and leave it for a day or so to draw out the oil. Or try using Cablin Wax Miedium .I put my oil on a piece of glass and then add the Miedium and mix and then thinner to make a wash. Now Remember to set the Brandy on one side and the other thinner . :o  Willie

[/color][font=Söhne]That one seems like a great medium, similar to what I was trying to achieve by mixing things myself![/font][/size]

When choosing your colors, choose the ones that are the most opaque. To dilute, I use lighter fluid which has the advantage of being very volatile. You can also use a colored undercoat (Humbrol or acrylic). To smooth your coat, take a cat's tongue brush.
