Premonition of Paint is back with Season 2! This time around, we're joined by Tino. In this episode, we dive into our personal miniature histories, memories, techniques, and... Galaxy Quest?? We also talk about Joel and Brandon's first date at a scale modeling show. If you haven't listened to POP yet, this is a great time to start. We take our miniature hobbies very, very, very, very kinda seriously—but mainly, we have a great time talking about everything we enjoy in the world of wargaming.

The Shit Circle is never-ending, and we all have been entrapped by its shittyness. In our first episode back in the new season, we talk about hobby content, bullshit we have dealt with content, and overall just kinda navigating the hobby space.

While it would be fun for the three of us to talk about actual cults this new episode brings light to the issues with Idol Workshop in small hobby spaces. How much is too much? Put on your best noir suit and take a listen! 

the boyz sit down and talk about the change of art after 9/11 and state of mental health and the correlations in our hobby. both positive and harmful.

This is actually episode 3.2.5 V2 but we will just call it Episode 3 of Season 3. Well if you haven't noticed we are down to three of us. The cursed Micromark magazine has entrapped Bailey! Tony Hawk does NOT want to ride bikes with us.

New 2021 Intro Episode

Season two of Premonition Of Paint is here! Brandon, Phil, and Joel talk about all of where to start with painting your miniatures and getting started. This episode is like the crusty rim of your citadel paints. Aka The Crusty Ring. Just kidding, this is our start to a new season of PoP and just like The Cutting Mat Podcast's latest episode. We are talking about where to start in the hobby of miniatures and how we got started!

Season Three is here! This first episode is well....the beginning! We wanted to talk about how to even get into this hobby. We are talking about our first experiences, traps to avoid, and overall a fun time. If you are an experienced builder or a level 1 builder with an hour to spare. This episode is for you! 

Here is the last episode of Season Two. When we recorded this Joel was in the middle of moving into a new house. Which means the studio for the podcast was moving. Moving involves a lot of stress and what we talk about is how your hobby can both be something for relieving stress and also be causing unnecessary stress for you.....and something stupid that Joel said about catdog so that we named the episode that.

Brandon, Phil, and Joel talk about Tabletop Quality. Joel has no idea what it really means so the boys try and explain what this weird term is? Seem kinda silly but hey we are all painting little tiny orc dicks and wizards so fuck it! 

Joel and Tino from The Cutting Mat Podcast talk about their tours of conventions and all the wholesome, weird, and sometimes crazy stories that happen while working these events. Sadly almost all conventions are postponed so this is our way to try and bring some of the magic back to you all at home. In this first episode, we lay the groundwork for the conventions we have worked on and what our experience is. Enjoy! 

The boyz are back and talking about telling stories with your models, judging at IPMS events, and why the millennium falcon is pretty fucking organized. You are gonna want to listen to this one.
