You do realise that it will be your money he will be spending to start with :p
Well, I have enough "extra" minis that he can use for now, and coupled with b-day/holiday gifts, he should do ok. At least he understands how to thin paint out, and priming first.
Just the other day he wanted to "Paint Orks" I told him not until his homework and chores were done, and he said, "That's ok, I don't have any that are painted black first anyways. Dad!...when are you going to spray more guys?!"
I love the art of your speed painting Chum, now if I get an hour to myself, I will be utilizing the hairdryer/ and washes method as well...
