I haven't painted tabletop game miniatures, but I have done some models, and some little projects... I should take a picture of my most memorable stuff...
Anyway, for little stuff like eyes I like to use the tip of an exacto knife. Most toothpicks are adequate for some small details, but If you want precision, use something precise. I have found that using unconventional items to apply paint is pretty useful AND fun!
I need to get to painting again. I bought some paints and canvases a while ago, just haven't had the real motivation to paint anything.
Closest I ever got to a tabletop game was MagicTG cards. Everyone did that back in the day.
warhammer 40k
ya...but the space battle and the ground battle started at pritty much the same time...we would deside who got the planet, have them set up in the system and table(s) and when the enimys ships got withing range of the planet, he would send down "dropships"...and for everone of those i would role a dice to see if it servived...and if multiple tables thay would all show a dif.area of the planet...and wed divide the planet so you can ob one place not the intiere planet......
um....its that simple?

o and the ship+multiple battles thing is VARY frustrating, but i made it that way so i could feel like i can't consentrate on one battle, and if one actualy won the space battle prematurely, he got extra rinforcements, ob...more force deployment slots, and if a land battle was won, you can move those modles to anouther fleald with the rininforcements tables...this can last as the entire battle would in rlb

Just curious, what part of Georgia do you live in? I'm in the metro Atlanta area, more specificly, the Dunwoody/Doraville area near Tilly Mill and Peachtree Industrial Bvld.
