How long does it take to paint the people ......
I have no idea where to start or what colors to get, much less the shiny details
Both color versions REALLY compliment each other

I ride an old Paint hey Dennis......painting can be done as quickly as 4 or 5 minutes or can be done in stages over several sessions.......I use Vallejo water based acrylic paints and these are offered as single bottles or more economically in multi color kits....a trio of good brushes (in the $4-$12 range),some Krylon Matte Finish Spray in Clear to seal your dried pieces or isolate a paint color layer,and you`re ready to go...search for:Painting Figures with Acrylics" Part One - The Eyes
Painting Figures with Acrylics" Part Two - The Face
Painting Figures with Acrylics" Part Three - The Equipment
Painting Figures with Acrylics" Part Four - Cloth and Leather Techniques...If you take a look at a few tube videos on dry-brushing you can watch the transformations occur from simply colored to shadow and depth highlighting.....let me know If I can answer anything for you.......John

Cute story. Now you need to add a "stop and go" light to the display.
