So many questions, lol.

No masking used on mine, I'm a pretty basic painter.

I always use Krylon flat black for primer, I prefer ultra flat back, but of course it's impossible to find now.

If the mini is going to be light colored I usually give it a shot of Krylon grey over the black. No decals, although I have thought about it. Maybe someday. I'm not sure I want to put decals on a few thousand vehicles.

My Paneuropean forces are base coated in Krylon Banner Red, the Combine are True Blue. I wanted a Basic paint scheme that ties each force together.

I use basic craft paints for detailing, Apple Barrel, Anita's, that sort of thing. I pick them up at Hobby Lobby when they are on sale for less than a buck. I do have to thin them usually, they are pretty thick out of the bottle. I use washes sometimes, and dry brush a lot to bring out the details.

My Ogre main batteries are painted metallic copper, craft paint again.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
