Hi all, I'm new here. The last time I painted in oils was about 28 years ago doing Historex Napoleonics. I'm currently an aircraft and armour builder but after visiting this site I'm itching to do a figure. So with that in mind I bought Seils Grenadier 33 Reg of Foot and am waiting for it to show up. I'm not sure what basic paint / supplies I need though. My boys are getting me some oil paints for Christmas and I'm not sure what colours to get. Red, white, black, blue, yellow of course but is there a list somewhere of the must have basics as far as paint goes? Should I get some of the mediums available to add to the paint? Any other thoughts for a a new figure modeler? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.James
