Painting Night Becomes Painting Day - and Weekly!

Our monthly Painting Night just wasn't doing it for me. It wasn't often enough and if I couldn't do it one night then we lost an entire month. With this in mind - and the fact that the miniature painting contest went so well and was so well attended - we've decided to move Painting Night to Sunday and to make it weekly

That means that, starting this week, you can come in on Sunday and paint at 11am (the plan is to open up an hour early for painters most weeks). Officially we're going to run it until 1:00pm which is when most gaming starts on Sunday but as long as there's still space you can keep painting all day.

I'm hoping that this ends up working out better and drawing in more people.

See you Sunday!

Miniature Painting Night - Tonight at 6pm

This is just a quick reminder that tonight is the first monthly Miniature Painting Night that we'll be holding at the store. The official start time is 6pm but you can come in earlier if you like.

Bring your paints, brushes, miniatures and your questions. We'll be there to help those who need it or to just inspire each other if you aren't looking for help.

Hey, if you have a lamp that you like to work with, bring that too. Lighting isn't universally good in that back gaming area so any additional light sources might be helpful.

I'm going to have the new Foundation Paint line on hand for everybody to try. My most recent experiments with them have been very positive. I'm actually thinking of writing up a formal review once I've had more experience with them.

See you tonight!

Miniature Painting Night is Back!

After a more than year-long hiatus, Miniature Painting Night is Back!

I've been telling myself since I got back that I really wanted to do this but putting off setting a date for some reason. Well, you can thank Andy Easton for getting me to make up my mind and schedule it.

The next Miniature Painting Night will be on Monday, May 14 starting at 6:00pm. Feel free to come in early and pull up some table space if you like.

Why come? Because sometimes you need a good excuse to paint. Because painting in a group can be a lot of fun. Because Andy and I will be there to help out.

Andy is a pretty amazing modeler. He does conversions all the time and can help you learn the proper way to pin a model, use putty, and turn you model into something different.

I've been painting since AD&D was still in the early infancy of its first edition.
I managed to turn my interest in miniature painting into a very short career. I even won a couple of Golden Demon awards back in the day. You need help with painting? I might be able to help.

It's looking like this is going to be a monthly event (I can't commit any more time than that) so look forward to spending one night in the middle of each month hanging out at the store and painting some minis!
