RE: Painting Miniatures - You Can Do It Too!
Awesome quick start guide, and "just do it!" is great advice for getting in to almost any hobby. I still haven't painted any minis (almost all of the minis I have are of the pre-painted plastic variety) but if I can find my old HeroQuest game at my parent's house I will have a bunch of unpainted minis to try my hand at. In particular I am thinking about painting up a bunch of the skeletons as the D&D campaign I am running seems to be heading in a very undead direction. :)
Yeah the just do it attitude is essential!
At first you suck (like anything you do for the first time) but then it gets better, if you focus on where you're going it doesn't really matter too much where you are right now.
If you're painting skeletons I'd suggest getting some two-part epoxy and make little pieces for them, just to make them different (a helmet, shin guards, one-sided spaulders) that way you have more places to use paint other than "whitish beige".
