[QUOTE="collin, post: 7595362, member: 6757"] If you have a local game shop, you can probably find someone to paint the mini for you (for a cost, of course). However, as others have said on this thread, you can find lots of tutorials on YouTube to help you out in terms of painting. Reaper and other companies often have starter painter kits with a good smattering of basic colors, plus a figure or 2 to help you get some skills practice. I hear what you are saying about the pewter vs plastic or resin minis. I am old school: I prefer the old pewter figures to the newer, cheaper plastic ones. They have more heft to them and are less subject to breakage. But of course, they cost more. You can get metal figs from Hero Forge, too, but they are outrageously expensive. If you do decide to paint it yourself, get a decent primer (spray or brush on), and mount the figure on something to help you hold it. For years I have used the caps from primer (or other) spray cans, and mounted the figure on it using Elmer's orange Tack Removable Adhesive Putty, (not the cheap stuff). Just take about half of a stick from the pack. [/QUOTE]
