Episode 8: An Interview with Greg DiFranco

A master painter unmatched in his use of shadows, light, and color, as well as a damn fine sculptor and a champion of flats who has raised that aspect of our hobby to new heights, Greg is also, as Barry says, “a great guy,” and your hosts could not have enjoyed spending time with him more. We talked with Greg from his home in Long Island, where he is a driving force of the Long Island Miniature Collectors Society. Join them on Facebook here as they gear up for the return of their annual show, Nov. 19 and 20 (more info here). As always, photos of the pieces we discussed in this episode follow.
