How about a gift basket filled with miniature painting supplies? You could include a high-quality set of paint brushes, miniature paint sets in his favorite colors, miniature figurines, and a portable light or magnifying glass to help him with his work. You could also consider signing him up for a miniature painting class, or purchasing a book filled with tips and techniques to help him improve his skills. Alternatively, if you have the time and artistic ability, you could create a miniature figurine or diorama for him to paint himself - this would show him that you are interested in his hobby and supportive of his interests!
Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
