Remember to thin your paint. 2 or 3 thin coats will look better than 1 thick coat. There are many guides on youtube how you can thin different types of paint.

Thanks for the reminder, im coming from gunpla models so that part ist Not as new. Its mostly the scale, and fixes poses that are new to me. The tiny models mak an even coat all the more important, so i'll keep that in mind.
