Need help with figs (new at this)

Anthony,

Several other forums have article sections that are pretty helpful.
Missing Lynx, Track Link are two, and even the Vallejo website has a nice SBS article highlighting the use of their paint to paint a figure.

Other sites that have alot of info just in their postings are Planet Figure, the Clubhouse, WW2 Modelmaker and TimeLines.

Hit the archives here on FSM and you'll also find alot of useful info buried in postings.

As a total noob to modeling as well as figure painting, I've found that the following book is invaluable to me:


...and you can't beat this low, low price at amazon.com!:

Good Luck!
Eric

try pick up some of the old Verlinden books on figure painting as these will give you a good appreciation of how to use oils which is the most forgiving way to paint faces
Good Luck

Armorama Features section has a whole area on figures as well with lots of articles and tips.
