Arcane Paintworks Painting Masterclass!

Over this past weekend I had the pleasure of attending a class taught by Meg Maples of Arcane Paintworks, and I just wanted to share a bit about how it went.

The class was held at Barwell Bodyworks south of Leicester, UK  (where I help teach wargame airbrushing classes – the next one is in February 2017) and after the first UK class filled up super fast several months ago, I made sure to jump in the queue ASAP as soon as the second class was announced.

Meg has been skipping around Europe and the UK for the past few months, attending model shows and competitions such as SMC (Scale Model Challenge) in Eindhoven in the Netherlands and Euromilitaire outside of London, plus squeezing in as many classes as possible on the off-weekends, which I’m sure helped pay for the trip from Australia!

Private Airbrush Lesson, Anyone?

Some private airbrushing tuition last night – on the dinner table! Time was very short so required viewing was the Introduction to Airbrushing video with Ken Schlotfeldt (search for it on YouTube, very helpful!) and reading through a few short sections of a vintage airbrushing instruction book. A few learning exercises on some paper and then straight to the models!
