I read a trio of the Brit a/c model mags. They all seem to be very good at brush work. The rules are:
no. 1 good brushes. And then (my own personal note) enter into a friendship with it and treat it like a friend. I know a little about that because I paint (write) Eastern Catholic icons, and in that line of prayer it's a point of theology to treat the brushes as blessed objects, because they do get blessed by the Priest and are. But from a secular viewpoint, as you know, good craftspersons in wood; there's a similar respect for a tool to do a single task well. And then get put away properly. My icon brushes don't even go in dirty water, let alone in my mouth.
B. They like the flat ones a lot.
And also, thin the paint at about 50% and just let it flow around. Don't try to push a pile across the surface. I think paint is sold way too thick. The a/b people know that, but brush painters should pay heed as well. It's not house paint.
I like to brush paint models as much as possible. I'm working on a very long range skill, to hand paint markings.
