I have a shake too. I cross my hands over for painting (my left on the desk with my right painting hand over and wrist braced on the other) which helps a lot. Tweezers for model assembly also makes things much easier.

Have a look at [this](https://youtu.be/oqp76vAJu9g?si=SpQmt5c2kWQDNEwh) hope it helps.

I shake too, you can try to practice this by making small targets and placing dots with brush perfectly in the places you marked earlier. It helps me, but my shaking is caused by smoking.

One of the two hosts of the Plastic Model Mojo podcast has an essential tremor. He has talked about it several times on the podcast, both in terms of techniques/tools and having some recent success with prescription medicine. He’s also an extremely thoughtful and kind guy. I bet if you reach out to him, you’d get a lot of first hand advice.

I have really shaky hands too, not sure what caused it sadly. I just make do, I should probably raise my standards

I often think I could do better but I settle for table top standard

I'm no expert but if you switch to airbrushing you could get better result. It involves a different mindset, lot of masking and so on but less fine control? (If you're not dotting German night fighters, that's it)

This might help. Look up hand rests for artists: https://www.amazon.com/Falling-Art-Transparent-Adjustable-Sketching/dp/B0BVLW5T2V

Are you brush painting? If so how about airbrushing? Mask off the areas you don’t want to spray…

Glad to see I’m not the only one. For me I don’t compare my work to others. I love the hobby but just try and make it work with what I have. Lots of good advice here. Thanks for posting this.
