My advice is thin your paint down.
1) Using a pipette put less than a drop of water in your pallete. This can be done by letting a drop almost come out of the end and touching it on the palette/tile.

2) Take the biggest amount you can get onto your standard sized brush and mix it up this will give you a thinner paint.

Note. Coverage will be harder so you may need two coats especially over a Black undercoat but you will get a smooth finish which looks so much better than lumpy. Hope this helps fellow painter!

You're a fiend man!

Great tutorial, excellent pics.

Thanks for the compliment! More breaking news I've emailed Hasslefree about a certain librarian he's sculpting. (I got a confession out of him at the Kelham Hall Show). When I get it it'll be on here and painted before you can say (not)Giles! In fact I've just this second checked my email and Sally replied saying she would nudge him. Then Kev emailed me saying 'consider me nudged' as always you guys get the news first!Watchmen02
