Description:
Our 11th year of speed painting for the Gen Con Charity, 10 Aces are chosen to participate each year. Aces are some of the best mini painters attending Gen Con - their models go for big money, they have won many awards, they teach classes and are the cream of the crop. But we give them 1 hour to finish an unknown mini! There will be sweat, tears, and much laughter as the timer counts down to zero. Then the minis will be displayed until the Gen Con Charity Auction, where they will be auctioned as a single lot, including a certificate signed by all participants, a wood display base, and box to pack them in safely. 2012 Miniatures have yet to be decided - more information on the website as we have it.
