Show by Lukas & Howard
Painting minis is one of our favourite hobbies — so what do we do when we can't paint?! We pick up a good book!Whether it's commuting to work, travelling somewhere fun or the weather not being quite right to paint, life sometimes gets in the way of sitting down with our miniatures. In those moments, there's nothing we love better than opening a book and being transported to another world.In today's episode, we're talking about the joys of reading. Sometimes, a short story can inspire a whole new painting project. Other times, you can spend a whole evening discussing the highlights and plot holes of a good book series. For example, does the Fortress Terra have toilets? And how well prepared is their plumbing for a siege situation?!We'll also share our current favourite reads.
