There is a mini-painter list at Yahoo! Groups that has a number of 
techniques sequestered away in their files section.  The painted 
figures, although mainly fantasy, are great samples to inspire painters 
to extreme levels of workmanship, or to learning new techniques that 
speed up table top quality painting too.

The list in question there is <mini-painter>.  There are several other 
miniature related lists, including a sculptors list where the likes of 
Bobby Jackson, Sandra Garrity, Jason Wiebe and a number of others post 
from time to time and give advice to those of use how need the help.  
It's <1listSculpting>.

I hope these help.
