I think it would be fantastic!
Posting it on here would be fine, make a nice addition to the tutorial section.
Don't worry about spelling, we'll look it over and proof it for you.
Your painting skills are remarkable, and for you to offer to share your techniques is great!

Its some thing I have 1nted to do for a long time. Was thinking of vid tutorial or the likes. But thats past my I.T skills. So I will try to make something for hear. Imput of what people wood like to lurn wood be ace.

Well, me personally, I could use some help on highlighting and drybrushing.
I do pretty well, but I think my technique needs improvement.

I'd be grateful of anything, as I'm poo at most aspects.

How about just starting with a model and just talk us thru each aspect?

Well I have a dred on the deck at the min in its basic prime colers. So Ial give it a try. Tho Showing is better than pics so might do one or two at the game club as well. Better sort my macro lens out.

I also could do with some help as my painting standard tends to be drybrushing

Sounds a great idea hunter!

It might be worth splitting things up into small chunks to make it easier for both you & us...

I'd go through undercoat/basecoats
Basic detailing, highlighting, shading
Metallics & other fiddly things
Fine detailing
Lenses
Finishing the model

Might be worth doing a separate one for tanks?

Not that I'm needy...

Its hard to Do this online but spliting it into sections is an ace idea.

Could you video it and upload to Youtube? That way you could also include your own site linked to it and get a lot more potential exposure, and maybe get some commission work out of it. I could also set up a way for you to post the Youtube videos as articles here on the site too

Its an ace idea, tho naw lacking a camcorder or web cam.

Sold my old HS10 for a DSLR.

Doesn't your DSLR record video? My Canon S5 (it's a compact DSLR wannabe, not a proper DSLR!) does much better video recording than any dedicated video recorder I've ever owned

My HS10 did HD. But no I went for a Canon EOS 20D as always 1nted a DSLR with no gimics. Pics are sharper, cam is faster and dose what it sez on the tin. I am painting a dred at the min and takeing pics of eatch stage. naw I will be dooing 2 Storm ravens soon. So that might be a good review. The dred will show basic painting colers to a high end finish with wethering and high lights. Makeing a vid wood be mutch simpler tho my IT skills arnt very good at edating. If it wasent for you guys helping me with my sight id of never got it finisht.

Ah, I see that one won't do video capture. Well, at least not natively - there are "remote control" apps you can get for your PC that will allow to connect the camera to your PC and record live video that way. Look for "DSLR Remote Pro", although it's not free.
