It's hard to see the brown models on the brown cardboard, but the models I can make out seem to show the miniature detail well which means your on the right track. Usually the best indicator of your paint being too thick is that is starts to show brush strokes or starts to obscure details.

I learned a long time ago that it is better to do several thin coats than one thick one. Models look good! I would take a picture of a few with only white around them, for the very reason Papabees said; Hard to see brown on brown in detail.

I use flow enhance and matt medium almost all the time.
Matte Medium thins the paint without losing any vibrancy Flo enhancer does the same job as water, but better!

Oh nice figures, though perhaps a little dark?

Looking good! You need some additional light for your photos, but you took enough shots to clearly show you are getting a nice, smooth finish and good coats of paint. I'd be proud to brush paint that well.
Flo-aide, flow-aide, flow release, flow improver, flow extender; these are all the same thing and you can find this sort of product made by Golden, Liquitex, Windsor & Newton, Vallejo and Daler Rowney just to name a few. Just about any company that is serious about marketing acrylic paints will include this sort of product in their line.
This useful addition to our painting kit is sold as a concentrate, so follow the directions and dilute it before mixing it with matte medium or using it in any other way.
