The GitGud Painting Podcast

Get comfortable as we sit down with a true renaissance man of the hobby, Maxime Penaud, a classically trained fine artist who has brought the Beaux-Arts de Paris into the world of miniatures. From sculpting his own competition entries to claiming multiple Slayer Swords, Maxime's rare appearances on the competition circuit have always caused a sensation and it's time to find out what makes him tick.

Roman Lappat is in the virtual studio! Settle down as we talk with a titan of the hobby who has been pushing the art forward for the last 20 years. From competition vs joy and judging golden demon to forging a career in miniatures, we touch on everything that has made Roman the man he is today.

2025 is done and what a year for miniatures it's been! Settle in for this one as we talk about the five pieces that we think are the stand outs in the hobby this year.

This week we sit down with Lukas, part of the team at Squidmar Miniatures and a painting demon in his own right. From pushing yourself when painting is your job to rediscovering the basics, we cover a great deal! Sit down, relax, and crack into some köttbullar as we enjoy another ep.

It's December and it's time for a new podcast in a new format! This week, Bruce, Magnus and Dave talk about the close of Monte and the opening of MPO and the Squidmar Open. We then get into the big discussion - starting projects and everything basing. Settle in, this is a long one.
