Here's what I got so far. Since I already had the paint and the brushes , but I've never painted miniatures before and didn't want to spend real money on something to start with I went to the dollar store and picked up a couple of bags of army men, half beige troops/half green troops. 50 men for $1 can't beat that price.
I soaked them in water with dish soap, then scrubbed them with a brush which revealed a surprising amount of detail considering how shitty and cheap they are.
I'm going too do them in small batches, I picked out 6 appropriate characters for my initial project and I'm working out a good story for them. I want my military painted miniatures to have more of a fantastical G.I. Joe flavor so I've got some fun plans.
More to come.
