Digital Camera World has a little cheat sheet of studio lighting setups where to place the light source and the resulting photo.
Given figure photography is a much smaller scale, there is no big need to have an umbrella or studio type lighting. Just having this sheet as a reference on where to place the light might help give some ideas on lighting your own figures.
