My partner used to paint Warhammer when he was younger, however sold off his collection a couple years ago. He loves lotr and has thought about picking the hobby back up, but isn't really committed.
So I'm thinking about gifting him a larger lotr figure for Christmas, so he can enjoy the creative process and just have it on display if he chooses not to carry on making them. The problem is, I don't know the first thing about which paints should be used with what, glues needed etc, and I'm a little worried about how much it would cost me to buy everything he'll need.
Some of the figures I'm considering are Winged Nazgûl™, Treebeard™, Mighty Ent™ and Beechbone™ the Ent™.
I'd really appreciate some advice on what paint sets to buy, or choosing a figure that might require less further purchases.
