Tony Jacob writes in about doing things your way.
The best way to do anything in modelling is the way that suits you and works for you!
I don’t believe in there being only 1 right way to do anything in modelling and too many modellers worry too much about what other people are doing. I always tell beginners to find some GOOD advice, then use that just as a starting point. The best example is the common question ‘what ratio should I thin paint for airbrushing’. The ‘skim milk’ suggestion is great advice as a starting point. But each paint brand, sometimes each colour, may perform better either more or less thinned. And each airbrush, each compressor setting and each modeller will always get their best results at a thinning ratio that specifically suits them.
None are right or wrong. Just experiment and find what works best for you. Then anyone who tells you “You’re doing it wrong” can go take a long walk off a short pier.
