questions about paint color and mounting of figures

[Emp]

I can't add anything more then what OD en Vinkinglad.

In miniature painting they have realy realy realy thin brushes, like in numbers it's 0/10.

When you paint more you will find out that you can use the flow of the brush to get into those small areas. Just let the paint and brush do the work for you, don't just jam that tip in there. Treat the paint, brush and the figure like a woman
Ok, pun intended here

It's also important to note that there are no good cheap brushes. They cost a little money but en you get quality hair and the tip of the brush stays sharp (if you look after it ok)

And it all comes down to practice and practice. Try the shading and highlighting. Instead of highlighting you can also to the drybrush technique.
