This was done a few years back. I was struggling with smooth highlights. I've never tried blending before, but I might try to fix this one up. I also need to use thinner paints. Any comments are welcome!
About the smooth highlights--water down your paints... About a 1:1 ratio (or a 2:1 paint to water i what I more likely use). I Am Sure you can't tell this from my mini's up till now... But some new things I did show drastically.
