hello gordy
i use at moment acrylics from revell.some from games workshopand vallejo as well
but on leathers i like the good old artist oils for their sheen and lustre.
the scale is 120mm
i paint so that my shading works best on an armlenght distance.so if i close up any pics the figures look very messy i know,but at 30 cm distance and normal lighting iam quite happy
iam an pure eye pinter not one for the lense i would guess.
the lense is brutal and shows even the slightest flaw
cheers
