Hitting a bit of a wall, painting wise

[FifteensAway]

"Alright, Bravo Six, you've been moaning over this painting issue for months now.  So, here's the deal, if you haven't finished 100 figures by the end of August you have to send 200 PAINTED figures as a gift to the LAFer of your choice - and you don't get to replace the figures!  And then you have to paint 200 figures by the end of September or gift 300 PAINTED figures!  If you make the 100 for August, you only have to do 100 for September, and so on and so forth.  Now, snap out of it and get on with it, recruit.  And photos for proof!"

Thanks Sarge. I think......

What size (and type) brush do you guys use for slopping on your basecoats? I use a W&N "Cottman Series" either 0 or 00 for all my brushwork. I'm assuming this is part of the reason why I'm such a slow painter.

I usually use a W&N Series 7 size 1. Larger models I might start with a 2.  Mid tones or highlights I would use a 0.
