When you say layer upon layer - do you mean you literally just paint a lighter shade right over all of the darker shade? Or do you mean you are painting a smaller "highlighted" area lighter? I've seen "layering" mentioned before, but I've never really gotten a handle on it except in using inks or translucent paints (shades beneath translucents to add textures and what not, often for "liquid" effects).
Just curious  |

I paint the area I wanted in lighter colour with a layer of lighter colour right over all of the darker section.

| Do you have to keep the paint very thin for that? |

No, if it is too thin it will flow in the deeper areas and the whole panel effect will be ruined.

Great work!! Even my wife had to say, "I'm jealous." In a good way, of course.

| Nice! I've been looking for some alternatives and the two that previously came up from some of my searches are basically out of business right now. |

CorSec stands are great.
I wish I'd used them when i first started... instead I started with Ninja Magic... then found I couldn't get enough - I switch to a modified version of the Mongoose ball and socket stands and weight ADB hex stands so I can switch out stands from game to game.
Too much invested in the current system to switch out nearly 1,000 Starline minis at this stage.
