thanks dear people for the comments, I hope this one will work out.
Lilbro, yes it is indeed preshading what was applied. I do keep my paints thinish but not extremely thin and I add vallejo glaze medium, but go back and forth with washes and shading, seriously dont know what the hell I am doing. watched so many vids, done so many reading about painting.
but started in 86 with enamel paints and drybrushing, and somehow that seems to be stuck in my head.
so my paintjobs always seem kinda dull and dark and drab, I can never really create contrast and strong highlights to make colours pop.
I also always painted military models, so that also doesn't help since it is all earthy and dark muted colours.
so trying to do the best I can, and try some new techniques which never really help or mess up the entire paintjob .but I hope this one turns out ok, it is great fun though
