I have had a lot of requests for more information on the miniature painting tools which I use and basics for cleaning up, priming, airbrushing and assembling models. This page is a work in progress – I will be making many more of these, soon.

Assembly

This mould lines tutorial shows you how to build and convert Mephiston of the Blood Angels and end up with a result that has no mould lines or gaps. You can use thes techniques in all your models, however!
Airbrushing

Decals

A beginners guide on how to apply Forge World decals and weather them so they look a natural part of the painting on your model. Painting and applying decals to your models adds significant details and realism, making it stand out during tabletop gaming. It’s also a lot easier than freehand! I still use decals a lot in my models, despite also enjoying freehand work.
