How to paint miniature figures. Every once in a while, TC has to remind everyone of his geek street cred. These figures come from Rebel Mini's fantasy line (25-28mm) and are AWESOME. They can be used for any fantasy role playing system (Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, etc.). You can check Rebel Minis out here: http://www.rebelminis.com/ And for all the tips you need on painting figures, check out the classic book: How to Build Dioramas by Shepherd Paine. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/how-to-build-dioramas-2nd-edition-sheperd-paine/1111416486?ean=9780890241950

Part 2 will cover how to create scenery around the base of the figure.
