HMGS, Inc's Hobby University^®

The HMGS, Inc. Hobby University®, originally the Painting University, was created when a need was discovered within the Historical Miniatures Hobby for additional education on painting miniatures. The University debuted at Historicon 2005 and has grown to encompass not only painting, but also sculpting, terrain construction, 3D Modeling and many aspects of miniature modeling.

Our talented and dedicated volunteers and guests are dedicated to teaching painting and modelling techniques. Our teachers are skilled in a wide variety of styles so you are sure to find something you like. We offer classes for every level of hobbyist; from youth to adult beginner to experienced painters looking to add to their skill set.

We would not be able to offer these classes without the support of our sponsors:

• Brigade Games
• Battlefront Miniatures
• Eureka Miniatures
• Hasslefree Miniatures
• Iron Wind Metals
• Reaper Miniatures
• Warlord Games
• Wyrd Miniatures

In addition to classes the Hobby University staff is pleased to present the following activity:

Paint 'N' Take

With a selection of miniatures from our sponsors to choose from, participants receive one (1) free miniature. Our staff will be on hand for tutorials, just ask. Additionally, feel free to bring miniatures painted at home for gentle critique and helpful hints for improving your skills. As always, this event is free for all; it is walk-up and available whenever Hobby University is open at the convention!
