I watched this video when I saw it on Google+ (with the sound down, however). I am somewhat amazed at how completely different our painting styles are, and I'm sure if you find 10 miniature figure painters you'll find 8-9 different ways of doing the same thing.
I guess I learned something after all!
I have a question, though. Since my sound was off, you may have said but I missed it, but how did you base the minis? Thanks!
Very cool! Probably want to post stuff like this down in the Minis forums though ...
Thread moved.
Lol, I was just reading this and thinking that this thread should be moved here.
I have to agree with Two Wolves here, techniques can certainly vary a lot. What amazes me most is that you start your first coat with watered down paint, which then does not give a full cover. Why not use the original thickness of the paint?

Thanks for the move. I'll keep that in mind for my next video if folks want me to post my vids here. :)
I agree, there are lots of different methods for painting miniatures. I think the trick for me is to watch others paint, and if it makes sense to ME, and is something I can accomplish, adopt that technique as my own. Most important of all, have fun while you're doing it. Otherwise why bother? :)
Basing was done by attaching the mini to a 25mm games workshop base and then using Elmer's glue and a ballast mix I scrounged up to fill in the gaps. I did a video of that as well

I've found that if I paint with multiple coats I get better coverage, and less detail filled in on the miniature.
