Also in this episode, we discuss our new army projects and how we plan to overcome some of our struggles, answer our listeners comments about basing themes, standing desks and if the new death company set is actually a downgrade… Plus don’t forget our recurring segments like question of the week and of course our hobby hack!

James shows us his 'Exemplars of Siege' which is his own home-brew chapter, and shares the exact methods he used to create them, so you can too!

Also in this episode, we respond to our listeners comments about the confusing names from Vallejo, answer our question of the week about finding motivation to finish projects, and of course share our parting hobby hack!

50: What we REALLY think about VALLEJO...

Episode 50

Thursday, May 16, 2024 • Duration 01:11:34

This week we discuss one of the biggest brands in miniature painting… Vallejo. But as seasoned painters what do we REALLY think of the brand and their products? In this episode, we discuss our experiences with Vallejo, their paint ranges and products and perhaps bust a few myths about them. Expect to learn what we look for in a quality paint, some things to know and avoid, and whether or not they deserve a spot in your painting arsenal (beginner or pro).

Also in this episode, we discuss the rise of spudchop, free warhammer and the infamous barrel-gate! Also expect to hear some of our listeners comments, question of the week and of course our parting hobby hacks!

49: Painting FUNDAMENTALS, how not to ruin your model and... potatoes?

Episode 49

Thursday, May 9, 2024 • Duration 01:28:04

The fundamentals of painting are important, but they can be boring. Though, important as they are, is it possible you can surpass them a little too soon?

In this thought provoking episode, we discuss the merit of painting neatly vs detailed and if doing less, (well) can actually get you better results…

Also in this episode, we discuss the relatable topic of painting fear, and how to overcome the thoughts that you might ‘ruin’ your models.

Plus, stay tuned for our hobby hacks and the usual banter you expect, including some nonsense about painting with potatoes, and the aftermath of our premier Paint Perspective Drill Off!
