Get some train scenery miniatures, 1:50, O scale.  They were about $9.50 for 100.  You can get them pre-painted or unpainted.  The pre-painted are sloppily painted.  I got these for $3 on eBay.

Then you need some kind of stand.  Get some cheap bingo markers, size 2 cm.  Got these on eBay for $2.50 for 100 of various colors.  I guess pennies are cheaper.  You can get 100 pennies for $1.

Painted and super glued to stands before dipping.

Dipped. So, that's about $0.06 each, not including labor and painting materials. See my earlier post on how to paint miniatures.

Close up for details, first 3 rows (ignore the last row, those were other miniatures I was painting at the same time).
