Hi!
I've been following your progress silently, since I never worked with Lifecolour paints or oils before. I must say, they look excellent, nothing wrong here. I am particularly impressed because these are your first miniatures... 
You said you'd rather work with your PE, but I think we need to step out of our comfort zone to improve our skills and you did and your models will be the better because of it. 8)
Happy Painting, Sarah.
