Miniatures.  I'm obsessed with them.  It was miniatures that got me back into gaming after being away for years.  Specifically Confrontation miniatures.  Sometimes they're a bit cartoony but that's sort of the appeal.  

It doesn't hurt that they're painted gorgeously either.

I was surprised to find I enjoy painting miniatures as an adult.  And there is a long list of truly wonderful miniature manufacturers out there, many of them small companies of only a few people. 

Of course my work has been stymied by rearranging the house but, with a new airbrush (that I'm learning to use), and an indoor place to airbrush, production should be up again soon.
