I use this stuff called Acrylic Gel Medium -- it's an actylic gel
(obviously) mixed with ground-up pumice stone.	It comes in several
different textures, from fine to extra-coarse, and it's really easy to
work
with -- just spread it on and let it dry overnight, and there you go. 
You
can paint it however you like, and it takes paint very easily.	You
could
even mix paint with the medium before applying it to the figure, if you
were ambitious enough.
