To make the above greys, I mixed black &amp; white (duh!). I started painting minis just about a month ago <em>(ed: that would be November, 2012, as this is a repost)<\/em>. I bought 7 jars of Citadel paints at a local hobby store. I quickly ran out of white because of mixing. A web page I read about painting suggested Apple Barrel paints, and they are pretty cheap on Amazon.com. So I bought a huge squeeze bottle of white. In the foreground are my stir sticks, they are kabob stick cut into 3 pieces with wire cutters. In the background is my giant flashlight. It is very useful to check details and find little spots missing primer, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tabletop.magigames.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/with_red.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-65\" alt=\"with_red\" src=\"http:\/\/tabletop.magigames.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/with_red.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here they are finished (for tonight, anyway). I&#8217;m not that great of a painter, so I noticed in this photo that some of my red details are a bit off. I might go back and fix them, or I might decide that would make it even worse. I&#8217;ll put that off until tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Part 2 of my\u00a0GZG Full Thrust Intro Fleet Double painting recap. I primed them black.
