FORUMITES FRIENDS

UPDATED 8/17/19

So I will be running the Hobby Hijinx corner at ReaperCon again this year. If you are not familiar with the corner, it is where Reaper offers free 1-2 hour paint and take events. We have the classic Paint 'N Take area as always, as well as the Sophie Says, traditional Speedpaints and the new Paint by Die Roll and Bones Mashup. 

 

I will be updating this post as details are firmed up.

 

If anyone has any ideas for the current events or new events, please post them here. 

 

If you would like to volunteer to help in the Hobby Hijinx corner, please send me a PM with the days and times you would like to help and if you would like to be a helper or coordinator. Coordinators will be responsible for running individual events (all the supplies will be there) Helpers will assist coordinators. I will be the default coordinator for any event that doesn't have a volunteer

Sophie Says

A fun cross of Simon Says and Speed Painting. Don’t let the time element scare you, this is about being silly and having fun while painting a mini. All supplies and the mini will be provided. Once the timer starts, participants will have 45 minutes to paint the mini to the best of their abilities. Sophie, (or one of her minions) will intermittently apply challenges to the painters, such as painting while standing on one leg, painting polka dots somewhere on the mini, etc. Sophie understands that not everyone will be able to perform all of the challenges and encourages participants to participate as much as they feel comfortable. Every participant will receive a certificate declaring how awesome and silly they are.

This is a kid friendly activity, but we do ask that anyone under 15 be accompanied by an adult.

Sophie Says After Dark

This is slightly more adult themed version of Sophie Says, a fun cross of Simon Says and Speed Painting. Don’t let the time element scare you, this is about being silly and having fun while painting a mini. All supplies and the mini will be provided. Once the timer starts, participants will have 45 minutes to paint the mini to the best of their abilities. Sophie, (or one of her minions) will intermittently apply challenges to the painters, such as painting while standing on one leg, painting polka dots somewhere on the mini, etc. Sophie understands that not everyone will be able to perform all of the challenges and encourages participants to participate as much as they feel comfortable.

THIS IS A PG-13 VERSION. ADULT BEVERAGES WILL BE ALLOWED AT THE TABLES AND THINGS WILL BE MAY BE MORE AWKWARD.

Speed Paint

All supplies and the mini will be provided. Participants are allowed to bring their own brush if they wish. Once the timer starts, participants will have 45 minutes to paint the mini to the best of their abilities. Once the time is up all painting must cease. All entries will be judged by specially selected stunt judge. Prizes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. All participants will receive a certificate to attest to grit and determination.

This is a kid friendly activity, but we do ask that anyone under 15 be accompanied by an adult.

Paint by Die Roll

This is a group skill building event rather than a competition. Step outside your comfort zone and paint with color combinations. All supplies and the mini will be provided. Participants are allowed to bring their own brush and/or palate if they wish. All participants will receive the same mini, the group will then roll a d20 to determine which portions of the mini will be what color. Example: Last year there an ogre chieftain with Palomino gold skin, purple cloth, mint green metal, and pale lichen leather. Black, White, and Brown will be provided for shading and highlighting purposes only. Everyone will receive a certificate attesting to their willingness to try new things.

This is a kid friendly activity, but we do ask that anyone under 15 be accompanied by an adult.

---

Quick Conversion

Let your creativity flow as you cut, glue, and pin your own unique mini. Use a collection of Reaper minis and pieces to create something new. Will you come up with a goblin headed rogue, or a beholder mermaid? It’s up to you.

This activity will involve cutting implements and super clue so we do ask that anyone under 15 be accompanied by an adult.

Ed Sculpts are Best Sculpts

When Reaper was a young company and sculptors could get first hand references for their dinosaur sculpts, now president of Reaper Miniatures, Ed Pugh, contributed to the product line by sculpting many of the skeletons. Come raise the dead and socialize with your fellow necroma.....painters.

This is a kid friendly activity, but we do ask that anyone under 15 be accompanied by an adult.

I could probably help at some point. What all is included in "helping" ? 

[Chaoswolf]

Good question.

Last year when I was helping, as was @OneBoot, it involved running Sophie Says while @Ludo got to go take a class. I also ran one session of Paint N Take... I think. Maybe it was Speed Paint. Anyway, with enough help this year, maybe Ludo can take two classes! Maybe even get in a game should he find the desire!

 

I'll be volunteering for sure again. I'm running out of classes that I've yet to really practice at all on, so I won't be missing out all that much by taking fewer of them.

[klarg1]

I could probably help out for a little while.

 

If nothing else, I want to get in on a paint-by-die-roll slot this year.

[pcktlnt]

I can assist with set up/ tear down.

[Adrift]

I wouldn't mind helping this year. I had so much fun doing speed painting and Sophie Says that I'd like to contribute back in some way. 

[Inarah]

I enjoyed the mini bones mash up last year, I hope that can be arranged again.

 

Don't know my class schedule yet, but I will try to come by and help at some point this year.

Had lots of fun last year at Ludo's little patch of fun and would like to contribute to the festivities this year.

The  mash up was a blast, I'd 110% do that again.

What was Mini Bones mashup?

It was like the Bones conversion class that was offered,  but  only 1 hour long and with a limited selection of smaller figures.  I saw a lot of head and weapon swaps done in the session I attended.

It’s basically kitbashing loads of different Bones to try and make the ‘coolest’ figure before time runs out!!

[Argentee]

I can help, as long as it doesn't interfere with a class I'm taking.

[Cygnwulf]

Allright, I've thought long and hard about this, and helping with the paint and take is something I feel like i could help with if you are still interested in help.
