I paint Warhammer miniatures, guys who are about about 1.75" tall. Okay, let me be honest, I buy a lot of Warhammer miniatures, assemble most of them, and start new armies before painting any because I'm not good at painting.
I'm really trying to get going but it's hard, everything from color selection, color mixing, loading brushes, and actually applying paint to a model is a real challenge for me.
