Anyone want to recomend a good set of Oil paints???? and tips to start with???
It'll be figgy's mostly!!

Try 'van Gogh' or 'Rembrand' if you can get them, they are expensive, like 3$ per tube but they last very long.

Matt, like APBullet said try Van Gough, I find them about as good as Winsor and Newton. Since you're in the US you might look for sales at either Hobby Lobby of Michaels. For example Hobby Lobby has their brushes on sale now for 50% off. The thing about oils is they cost a lot up front, but they go a LONG way. A good sized tube should last you a long time. I got a kit at Hobby Lobby that had four big tubes of Winsor and Newton, White, Black, Red, Yellow, Blue, that you can mix just about every color with. I then got smaller tubes of Burnt Umber, Raw Umber, Burnt Siena, Raw Siena, and Yellow Ochre, from Van Gough for faces and such.

As for using oils I haven't used them that much, except for washes, but the one thing I've learned is they take a devil of a long time to dry. Put them on as thinly as possible to reduce the drying time.

Bump......I'm gonna head to the store and see what they have at lunch Anything else I should Know?????

Get a nice brush and treat it well. Prime your figures, it will help with coverage and paint adhesion.
Patience, patience, patience, oils take a long time to dry. Get a good method for holding your figures, ie panavice and a peg in the sole of the boot. This will help with your sanity in keeping the figure still without touching it and giving it a good solid place to dry.
