The hobby of painting miniature or model figures, also called figure painting, practiced either as a standalone pursuit or as part of another activity that uses models, such as role playing games, wargames or military modeling. The practice extends to scenic basing, from simple textured bases to elaborate dioramas, and many figure painters also sculpt or customize their own figures, with the hobby now supporting dedicated online communities and competitive painting events.
