My Life In Miniatures – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this episode, it's just me, your host, John, and I'm going to be waffling on about my year in the hobby, some news, plans for 2024, and just general thoughts and further waffle. This is a bit of an experiment - I've never done a solo pod before - so let me know what you think of it. Find me on Instagram at my_life_in_miniatures and tell me if you think it works, or not. I thought this could be a yearly thing, but if you hate the sound of me gabbling on about the hobby on my own for almost an hour, maybe I won't. Let's find out!

In this week's podcast, I'm talking to one of my good friends, Bobbie, about her life in miniatures. You can find Bobbie on Twitter, and you can check out her "On Sprue Reviews" on Youtube too - I recommend following her on both platforms for some great hobby content. This week, we'll be talking about many flavours of Space Marine, tiny titans, and old Italian boats, along with much more on My Life In Miniatures.

In this week's edition of My Life In Miniatures, after about 8 minutes of me rambling, you'll get to hear my discussion with the one and only Tyler Mengel who has been helping lots of us with painting tricks and tips for years over on the Warhammer Community website. In this bumper episode, I talk to Tyler about ancient Ultramarines, his duties as custodian of the Endless Desert, and of course, plenty of Nurgle and Undead goodness. Be sure to check out Tyler's website, and follow him on twitter and instagram too. Enjoy!

In this episode of My Life in Miniatures, we're talking to Darcy Bono about her history in the hobby, and the toy soldiers that have shaped her life and career. You can find Darcy on Twitter and on Instagram and she is well worth a follow on both platforms. I waffle on for about 7 minutes before we dive into our chat where we talk about the lure of lizards, Tron-themed Tau, giant beasts of Chaos and much more. Enjoy!

This week on My Life In Miniatures, I'm talking to Spencer from Spenspainting who you can find on Youtube, Twitter and Instagram about the toy soldiers that have inspired him throughout his life and career painting painting them. We talk about The Emperor's golden boys (both types), little bugs, new Heresy, and a whole lot of streaking and getting grimy. There's loads more too, so enjoy my chat with Spencer!

In this week's episode, I'm talking to Josh, the Fresh Prince of Biel Tan, about his life in miniatures. We discuss the insidious nature of Chaos, giant Stormcast heroes, an even bigger Ork, and much more besides. You can find Josh on Twitter at @princeofbieltan and Instagram @freshprinceofbieltan and I urge you to give him a follow today. Get your paints and clippers out, and prepare for a great big dose of hobby positivity in the latest episode of My Life in Miniatures.

Welcome back to a brand new season of My Life In Miniatures, and boy do I have a treat for you to kick off Season 2. Today, we are talking to none other than the multiple Slayer Sword winning Richard Gray about his life painting tiny toy soldiers. From the early days of Space Quest and Hero Crusade (wait, I go that right, didn't I), to big tanks, larger robots, his magnificent Mortarion and his latest projects too. Plus, find out why I sound a little "flustered" by sticking around until the outro. If you want to avoid my waffle, my chat with Rich starts around 8:30, and it is very insightful, interesting and I hope entertaining too. Enjoy! p.s. It's nice to be back :)

In the grand finale to Season 1 of My Life In Miniatures, I'm talking to the Golden Demon and Crystal Brush-winning legend himself, Sam Lenz. Be sure to check out Sam's Youtube channel and Patreon - find both by searching for "Sam Lenz Artwork" and you can follow him on Instagram at Samsonosmas. In this episode, we talk about competition painting, tiny critters, knowing when you're happy with a miniature and his upcoming Golden Demon entries. We also cover some of his most iconic pieces, and at the end of the show, I talk about how Season 1 has been for me, and plans for season 2. Enjoy!

This week on My Life In Miniatures, I'm talking to Chrissie about what got her into the hobby, and how her hobby life has progressed through the minis she loves. We'll be talking about the virtues of a Praying Mantis-imitating Drukhari, Chrissie's love of lizards, and how Hugo the bird has inspired some of her most recent projects. You can find Chrissie on Twitter at @Kurishi and I do suggest giving her a follow. Enjoy!
