Hey, everybody! We have our final event schedule ready for ReaperCon 2012. PDF format so you can figure out how to spend your down time between classes.

Click here to download it.

While you're here, don't forget to wear your pirate costume! Prizes will be awarded.

We're also going to have sneak peeks available at the show, including the new resin Kraken model, an all new pirates boxed set, and the first miniature in our RAX limited edition resin miniature line.

Just one week to go!

Happy new release day! Just because we're a mere TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM REAPERCON doesn't mean we don't have a little time to take a break from all our preparations to give you a little bit of new release love.

And here we are. Because we love you. And new releases. We love new releases.

And while we're on the subject of ReaperCon, while it's too late to get your t-shirt pre-orders, we'll still have a few at the door. We also only sold three of five seats for each of our classes online, so walk-in guests will still have a fighting chance to grab a seat with their favorite artist.

If you're in the North Texas neighborhood between May 17 - May 20, stop on by! We always love meeting new friends!

We're excited to announce the establishment of the Reaper Miniatures Hall of Fame. After many years of discussion, we decided that we needed to formally recognize those individuals who are responsible not only for the importance of promoting Reaper miniatures, but the promotion of miniatures hobby in general. So, starting this year at ReaperCon, we will be inducting several talented individuals into our own Hall of Fame. The induction ceremony for our inaugural class will be held on Wednesday, May 16 at our annual Meat and Greet BBQ welcome party. We hope those of you who are coming to ReaperCon this year will be able to come by Wednesday evening for some of the best brisket in Texas as well as welcoming our five inaugural members into the Reaper Miniatures Hall of Fame!

We also have another little recognition award for folks who enter our Master Series Paint Open contest. In recognition of their achievements in the world of miniature modeling and painting, we are going to recognize five individuals as "MSP Medalists". But you'll find out all about this when you attend the awards ceremony for our painting contest Saturday, May 19th.

By the way, Ron has been busting his hump trying to get some extra pirate-themed gear ready in time for ReaperCon. We have his hard work posted up oner on our Zazzle page. Extremely cool gear you should check out!

If you want an official 2012 ReaperCon t-shirt with your pre-order ticket, this weekend is your last chance to guarantee one in your size.

See you at ReaperCon!

We have the CW 29 PDF available on our website now. It's the new full-color format. We like it.

If you want a hard copy, we still have that available, too. It's here on the online store. The total cost covers the shipping for the catalog. Or add one in your order and hit the free shipping mark for the whole shebang.

Thanks to everyone we saw at PAX East! I know the line for the Paint and Take was long at times, but it seemed like everyone had a good time.



The big news of the week is the formal release of Dream Pod 9's Heavy Gear Blitz Paint Set. We've been working closely with the gang at DP9 to formulate a special range of colors for Heavy Gear Blitz, but that doesn't mean that you can use them for your other projects as well. Featuring a mix of MSP Core and HD formulations, this is a great starter set.

And of course we have figures, too. Check it out:

I want to give everyone a fighting chance. In a little less than 24 hours, I'm going to have class tickets live and online at this link: http://www.reapermini.com/reapercon#classes

That link isn't live quite yet, but tomorrow, noon, that'll take you right where you want to go.

All classes are $20. Each class seats five students, but i only put three online for pre-order. We want to give late comers a chance at the door.

So, set your clocks. See you back here tomorrow.
