Yes this is my ''Dumb Question'' #-145.

I hear and read this term a lot.  But I am not really sure I understand
just what it really means.  When I do Instrument panels for Aircraft or
Armour I use the smallest brush I can hold and very very carefully -Dot-
the details I want.  This along with Dry-Brushing- for wear and
weathering as well until i'm all  done.  

But I don't know if this is anything like ''Picking''.  Can you guys
help me out a little here with this and maybe give me more ways to do
the small detailing on things like that.

Thanks very much

I can't keep the brush tip small enough, so for very fine detailing I
use the end of a toothpick- those double ended round ones with the very
sharp tips.  I shake the bottle, and then dip the end of the pick in the
very thin layer of paint that stays in the top of the bottle.  This puts
a miniscle amount of paint on the tip of the pick and I can get very
fine dots or short lines.
