Episode 45: Talking with Erik Swinson and previewing MFCA 2024

In this episode, your hosts talk with Virginia Beach-based professional miniatures painter Erik Swinson, one of the most stunning talents on the scene today. Erik is generous in sharing his talents in painting videos on YouTube, and we’ve got a small sampling of his work below (starting with Baine Bloodhoof, the piece with which we start our discussion). You can see much more of his work by following him on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitch.

And… Erik in miniature, sculpted by Joaquin Palacios!

The boys also catch up with friends of the show Jack Lynch (Episode 18) and Dennis Levy (Episode 15) for a preview of the annual Miniature Figure Collectors of America Show outside Philadelphia on May 3 & 4, including a class with Calvin Tan (Episode 23). Much more info about the show can be found on the MFCA’s web site, and we hope to see you there!

Finally, Barry has some news about the first Rocky Mountain Hobby Expo, which will take place on June 22 near Salt Lake City in Utah at 7602 Airport Rd, West Jordan. Visit the Expo’s Web site here, and it would be great to see you there, too!
