Cool poll. I voted "other." I don't sling a brush much anymore. But when I do I insist on a combination of finish types, very similar in nature to what artlax posted.

Helmet - Gloss
Shoes, Grills, Rolls, Exposed Pads - Matte
Everything Else - Flat

War Gamers are way ahead of us in this respect. They go straight for realism. So the all-to-common (for ef) full gloss package is nothing short of sinful to them. No offense intended though. Ya like whatcha like, ya know?

Since I do not paint all that often and do not have to figure cost in as a major concern, I reach for the top-shelf approved paints of the war gamer artist elites whenever possible. As low as I'd go would be Citaldel brand (fantastic flesh tones in a bottle w/no mixing required), which is mighty fine stuff in its own right.
