Awesome, thanks! Now I'm excited to try another figure. Unfortunately while normal people start their weekend tonight, my work week starts so I probably won't be painting at all until the middle of next week.

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 .

Thanks. I will look to buy a couple of the extra thin brushes for those detail areas.

By the way, I tried out your "treat the figure like a woman" method but it was a bit awkward. I rolled it over and slapped it on the rear but it just laid there.
