53: Where do we get our painting inspiration?

Paint Perspective - Miniature Painting Podcast

This week, we went to the biggest UK hobby games convention: UK Games Expo! In this episode we discuss our experiences at the event as both seasoned visitors and newcomers, share our tips for future attendees and share some fun stories from the weekend!
Also this week James shares some rare book finds, Joe continues to plan his Dark Angels army and of course review your submissions for #AdeptusMaychanicus! Don’t forget our question of the week, which tackles colour theory (and where to start) as well as a “wild” hobby hack on tank weathering!
