Oh yeah John, I also attribute my vast improvement to the brushes you recommended. These things are SO much easier to do when you have good brushes... I didn't realize the truth of that until now.
Here is how I did the power glove.
I base coated it with watered down white. (About 2-3 applications) this gave me a fairly smooth finish to work from.
Then I made an orange wash by mixing some Citadel Baal Red wash with some old fashioned Citadel Yellow Ink, then added a little more water to thin it out more.
I used this mixture to wash over the whole power glove, then hit it with a blow dryer to speed up the drying process.
After the wash was dry I took the same thinned out white and re-painted all the flat surfaces with white, leaving only the crevasses and the areas around the bolts dark from the wash.
Then I added some yellow paint to the thinned out white and added a little more water.
I blended this yellow lightly, leaving only a small amount of white at the edge of the finger sections and the back of the hand.
Then I thinned out some straight Sunburst Yellow paint till it was almost like an Ink. Continued the blending process, always starting just a hair further back from the last layer.
Then added some Vallejo Fire Orange and some more water, and did it again.
Then added some Vallejo Blood Red and some more water and did it again till I finally finished.
I would have liked the transition from orange to red at the back to have been more smooth, but I can live with how it turned out.
