He looks pretty nice so far, especially for your third mini. As for mediums, does the boxed kit include any? Vallejo makes several mediums and additives, both in the Game Color and Model color ranges.
The cool thing about the mediums is they are ready to use right out of the bottle. You won\'t need to thin them further or figure out how to mix a \"gunk\" recipe.
Keep in mind when thinning your paint that it isn\'t exact. A ration of 1:1 might work with one paint, but not another.
The best thing I can advise on thinning paint is to learn what consistency works best for you, then learn how to identify when your paint has reached that point.

I will admit to knowing b*ggerall about space marines, but it\'s looking good so far, especially for only your 3rd go.
Suggestion #1: I would suggest a little dark-lining between the gold and the blue, to help define it and make it pop out a bit more. In this case a very dark blue might be better than black, which can look very harsh in the wrong place.
Suggestion #2: Wash over the blue armour to even out the layers a bit. Choose a darkish mid-tone colour, and thin it down really well, probably about 10 water to 1 paint. Then paint it lightly over where you want it- try not to let it pool too much. You will probably need a couple of goes to smooth everything out. Then pop on another highlight and a lil shading if required.
Suggestion #3: You can buy paint mediums, certainly, but as an effective interim measure dish-washing liquid works very well. Just put a tiny drop in your paint water. It breaks the surface tension and helps stop that annoying ring effect.
I look forward to seeing the next stage!
