I got my first 500 points of 40k yesterday (emperor’s children) and i’ve built most of the models but i really got into the hobby for painting. My hands are pretty shaky though which is annoying because i want to use a lot of different colors. Does anyone have any advice for having more stable or relaxed hands?

    I’m completely new to painting too, and I’ve been having reasonable success with the following:

    • Find a position where your elbows/forearms/wrists are resting on something.

    • If you don’t have a painting handle, get one.

    • Use the hand that holds the figure/handle to support the painting hand.

    • try to sit as relaxed as possible.

      yeah, i’ve seen a few people use painting handles. I’ve just been holding the model by the baseplate after i’ve attached the legs.

        paint handle with stabilizer bar Get a handle with a stabilizer bar. I have tremors in my dominant hand, but resting the brush against the stabilizer helps curtail their effect.
