Ryan pointed to Armorama, which is an excellent resource for figures. You can navigate around that site and find all kinds of good stuff.

As far as basics: Basic assembly, flash and seam clean-up. Prime the figure with a good, fine primer, preferably with an airbrush so you don't obscure detail. Do you plan to do shadowing and highlighting? If so, the techniques for acrylics versus oils are very different. Use good brushes. Vallejo acrylics are good (not Vallejo air - it's too thin and not opaque enough).

If you have other questions, please post. Looking forward to seeing your figures.

Cheers,

Lee Griffin

I think a lot depends on the time period and uniform type.
