Miniature
Miniatures are small figurines cast in either plastic or metal, commonly used in role playing games and tabletop wargames. Early versions were made of lead-based pewter, but due to the dangers of lead poisoning, the ones currently manufactured are usually lead-free.
Often these miniatures are painted as a hobby. Fantasy and role playing conventions will sometimes feature competitions on miniature painting.
