[QUOTE="Koloth, post: 9819853, member: 6706231"] In addition to paints, minis and brushes, get an X-acto knife set and a few of those diamond coated mini files. Most minis can benefit from some cleanup out of the package. Mold lines and such. One of those 'Third Hand' set of adjustable clamps can really help. 2nd the warning about spray primer and white Bones minis. For 3D printed minis, I have good luck with Rustoleum 2X primer, especially on filament prints. Don't use the normal 2X paint colors as primer. It claims it is primer but doesn't work as well as the black and gray. Several light coats are far better then one heavy runny coat. A sheet of 100 grit sandpaper is great for clean up of the undersides of mini bases. Unless you have a dedicated yours only paint station, get a nice large sheet of cardboard to use as a table protector. You WILL spill paint, stick super glue to some thing, and oops with the x-acto knife. Especially if you share the table with others. The cardboard can go a long way to maintaining domestic tranquility. [/QUOTE]
