Hi there, I've recently come into ownership of a Pewter/Lead figurine, and I was wondering what sort paints I'll need to color him. Will Oil-based do, the kind used in plastic models, or acrylic? I'm asking it here because the Hunchback is from Battletech, a BoardGame.
Picture is it.

Oil paint is a very bad idea, since it'll stay wet for far too long. Craft and art acrylics will work, but you'll probably have problems with thinning them and the paint looking gritty.

Vallejo paints are very nice, and the dropper bottles let you measure out consistent amounts if you're mixing colors. You'll need to prime the model first, and I'd suggest black primer for you to start with, because cracks and recessed details will be automatically shadowed. Check out the WIP thread for more advice!

Acshually, oil paint thinned with mineral spirits makes an excellent wash if you use it on top of a gloss clear coat. You can just wipe up anything on the high spots after it dries up a bit, then matte coat and you're on to basing.

Oh neat; I wouldn't have thought of washing it over gloss. Guess I'll have to play around a bit. Cheers!

It's essentially pin washing, if you want to look that up. On 28mm minis it's sort of weird to do most of the time, but at 6mm it works.
