Florist oasis foam is also great for painting stuff that's small. you just stick it in the foam and paint away. I also use it to make mounds of gravel, ballast, coal, etc. There was an article in a recent MR that explained this technique, but it recommended the pink insulating foam board; however, oasis foam is a LOT easier to cut and shape. The article mentioned using a plastic fork to hold the mound while you paint it, which is another great cheap idea. <br /> <br />I like the idea of using the 44 cent craft paints at Wal Mart. I use them exclusively. They're water based, cheap, any color you can imagine, and thick enough to avoid running, especially when painting small parts, i.e. figures.
