Uhhh...you guys are way out of my league....when I paint miniatures, which I don't do much of, honestly....
***cringes and prepares for his beating***
I use the Future Floor Wax method and either paint or ink, and some drybrushing here and there. I have found that I like the results when painting hair much better when I layer multiple highlight colors, it gives more depth than drybrushing, so much more.
When it comes to paint, I try and use the Folk Art paints and what little Citadel paints I still have from my GW days. I don't spend money on expensive brushes or paints.
Truth is, I don't really paint much at all, and lately I have been mostly doing terrain projects...ie...cheap stuff I can not spend much $$$ on, and get finished off to make the games look more appealing. This weekend I will spend a few hours finishing off some cobblestone road sections I made ages ago and never really completed. Now half of them are done, so I will do that.
I have found that when basing terrain I just go with a three color green scheme and I think it looks very good like that. Hell, some day I will get myself a digital camera and see about posting some pictures on here for you all to thumb your noses at!
