Anyone into painting lead soldiers? Looking for some tips on how to paint.
Yeah, I know, it's completely nerdy. Never claimed I was cool though. I have kissed a girl at least.

I used to do some of that years ago, dioramas too. I would just go get a starters kit from a hobby store and practice, practice. You will find your own ways of doing it, like how to get the eyes and little details like that. I just dipped the end of a toothpick in the paint for eyes. Little things like that you can figure out as you go. You will definitely need a magnifying glass, and lots of patience. This book may help, its very good, I would of given you mine but I already sold it.
