Okay, here are the pictures, for a side-by-side comparison.
The only change between them is the miracle dip, which I linked to earlier.
I love the way it both coats the figure (because I just know players are going to pick them up...) and stains it all in one step. (And yes, that is the exact same figure in both pictures.)
The dip looks really good on metal, such as armor. But it also brings out details that painters of my skill level cannot paint individually.
