 I looked through most of the thread and some online resources but I've never been able to figure out or discover - what is it that I am supposed to thin my paints with?! But then I found out, Water.

But how much water? What's a good size dish for them? I stole some plastic ramekins but they seem like they'd only be worth it for situations where I'm coloring like fifty mans.

What is a good proportion to thin paints? The best I have heard is "a milky consistency" which is hard to tell when you're dealing with Pig Iron from P3 :(

 brush question: What's a good type (not so much brand as style/size) of brush for basecoating? I don't think I have a good one, at least not for assault kommandos etc.
