Last time I was at PaizoCon, there was a minis painting table. Any plans to have that again this year? I have a few minis (thanks to Reaper's second kickstarter) that need painting.
Just a few... hundred.
If there is a minis painting table then it would stink if I have to work hopefully get the day off.
I would be fascinated to see new tips and tricks for painting. Also if there was someone there using epoxy clay to sculpt scenery for basis for miniatures.
Some tricks I picked up from other painters included turning Acrylic and Latex paint into ink by using water and Pledge floor care shine and protect.
For bases using Elmer's school glue and water to create a paste to add on top of basis and then sprinkle on Sand for Sand effects.
Vallejo Water Effects can be used to make water or snow by using the ink method above to add slight color otherwise it dries crystal clear.
Flat Ring washers from the Hardware store can be used as bases and come smaller than an inch for small, tiny and diminutive respectively.
For as many miniatures as you have Dale, I would suggest going to Lowes and getting their paint samples in the primary colors of Yellow, Red and Blue as well as White and Black. Get some Ceramcoat Delta Metallic Silver to make Metallic effects. The Latex and Acrylic paints mix together and can be mixed with Miniature paints such as Reapers Master Series Paint or Game Color Paint or Formula P3 paint.
I believe we have confirmed with Reaper that they will have a Paint 'n Take again this year.
We also have one painting workshop 'Basing Miniatures" on the schedule as well.
What's a Paint 'n Take? Does it cost money to do this or?

I've done the Paint n' Take at PAX a couple of times, and what I saw at PaizoCon seemed the same.
1. You pick a Reaper Bone's miniature (white plastic that does not need priming)
2. You paint it at the Reaper table with supplied paints, brushes, and casual feedback/help from one or two Reaper staff
3. You get to keep the mini

Reaper employees are going to be there? I want to make them a quilt with Sophie embroidered on it. If not a quilt then some kind of psudo one. Maybe a square with some fabric or hmm. Their minis are awesome!
That's going to make me so sad. Reaper keeps giving me samples of stuff they had and all of their sample paint has actually been helpful and what I needed for my miniatures for Pathfinder. They also ship very fast. I had this texas-lone-star-american-flag fabric all picked out too!
Ms. Marie are Reaper going to be there?
I was talking about fabric though. I wanted to make them something. Trouble is finding a Sophie that can be easily digitized to an embroidery pattern so I can then embroider it onto the fabric and then make them a blanket and maybe a patch or to and give it to Reaper for being awesome.
Embroidery is so much fun! I'm thinking of making an outfit with Shelyn's Holy symbol on it and one for Grand Lodge~!
So much fun!
*edit* oh I see where Money was brought up. Oh yay no money yay! More money for merchandise <3 Thank you!
So, what did he say?
Yay I'm so happy! Thank you so much Ms.[Mrs. Miss] Marie!
Hugs and Crystals because Crystalhue, which I think is Golarion's Christmas.
Reaper Brian is an awesome guy.
Ms. Marie do you know what room Brian from Reaper will be at? I'm working on the project and I just want to know so I can coordinate my shopping schedule and the like.
