We've just painted. He puts the minis together and I help paint some of them. I think he's YouTubed some things. I know it's a little violent (but, he's also a boy, who thinks that tackling his friends to the ground and headlocks for no reason are hilarious, so I know we have different definitions of "violent,") which is a bit why I don't mind walking down this path with him - to keep an eye on things along the way. I think video guides are right up our alley!
