  Figure painting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Figure painting is a form of the visual arts in which the artist uses a live model as the subject matter of a two-dimensional piece of artwork using paint as the medium.
In most cases the live model is nude and the painting is a representation of the full body of the model.
It is analogous in most respects to figure drawing, which is usually done in pencil of some kind.

 Miniature figure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Using this interpretation, a 6 ft (1.83 m) figure in 28 mm-scale would be 30 mm tall (if the eyes are about half-way up the head, and if the head is about two fifteenths of the height, then the height to the eyes is fourteen fifteenths of the full height).
Many role-playing gamers and wargamers will paint their miniature figures to be able to differentiate characters or units on a gaming surface (terrain, battle mat, or unadorned table top).
Although many gamers are indifferent to the quality of the paint job, for some the skilful painting of minis is a hobby in itself, on a par with the "more serious" modelling of historical and military figures.

 The Mark I Hobby Paint Mixer
Since the paints come in small drop dispensing bottles, it is not possible to stir the paints with a toothpick or wire.
Interestingly, I mentioned to my wife that I was making a small paint mixer, and without hesitation she said, "What are you going to do, have a small motor with a wheel driving a seesaw?" Her design would be interesting to try as well.
Although this version of the paint mixer is destined for the scrap heap, all is not lost.
