>>5369167>How much practice do you guys think it takes to be able to do this? This is my dream but I have no painting experience. Are we talking about six months? A year? Ten years?If you're careful and autistic about it, you can do it today as long as you inform yourself on proper painting techniques and paints to use.
It's not hard, but there's a lot of things you learn through trial and error. Most guides are incomplete or teach totally awful techniques, so even if you're well informed you can be led down a retarded path without knowing it.
Best guides usually come from /tg/-type mini modelers, since they know you need to thin your paints and how to spray your models, and proper thinning and spray techniques accounts for 50% of making your figure look great.
Larger scale modelers can be lax on that, which can fuck up little details even on larger scale figures.
