Learning from a true expert
A great two days and so impressed with what I learned plus the ideas, techniques and exercises I took away made it such a great course.
It was expertly delivered and you really got a sense of the depth of knowledge that was available for us to learn from.

The teacher gave a great amount of attention to every student - very knowledgeable.
However, we were given a list of paints needed, and we did not need most of them, which was frustrating as I had bought those specific colours for his course.

We are, however, genuinely sorry to hear about your frustration regarding the list of paints and the unnecessary purchases you made for the course. We understand how frustrating that must be, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Your feedback helps us to improve, and we are taking this on board to refine our course materials and ensure our supply lists are as accurate and helpful as possible for future students.

This session was fantastic.
The approach from the tutor filled the day with enery, which was the perfect companion to how much was convered in such a short space of time.
A great blend of practical techniques, ethos, and hands on practice and feedback that has left a lasting impression and really spurred me on.

Essential Master Course 1 - Bad Moon Cafe
I attended the Essentials Master Course 1 at Bad Moon Cafe.
The course was well organised and the instructor (James) was an absolute pleasure to deal with. So why only 3 stars?
Here are the reasons:
* Not enough time spent on fundamentals - loading brush, diluting paints, practicing basecoating and layering on different shapes of surfaces. There was a lot to cover in just two days and I felt we could have easily just focused on these two topics and completed a full miniature, rather than just a sword, base and a head.
* Heavy airbrush use. There was a good reason for this but I think most of us are not going to be aiming to become commission painters, and an airbrush setup is a significant investment. The airbrush section could have been cut out completely and the head painting replaced with instructions for using a normal brush on top of an undercoat.
* The venue (Bad Moon Cafe) was great but the table setup was suboptimal for observing James do the work. Day 2 despite being very close all I could see was the bottom of the base and then the finished article when the part was being circulated dor inspection. Having a table setup, perhaps with a screen to show a zoomed-in view of what the instructor was doing, or a smaller group so that it’s easier to get a good look at the instructor painting, would have been helpful.
* The speed of instruction was inconsistent and picked up greatly in day 2, to the point where it was becoming a bit overwhelming towards the end. Less is more, to my first point above.
* James was perhaps overly polite in his feedback and critique, I would have preferred a far harsher feedback than I was given - especially as I could see the additional mistakes in daylight when I got home.
I did enjoy the course and greatly valued the opportunity to ask questions and connect with others. Was it worth it? I would err on the side of “yes” but only just about.

Hi there!
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts following your experience on the Essentials Master Course 1 at Bad Moon Café. I’m very glad you found the class well organised and enjoyed meeting other students, and I appreciate your constructive feedback.
Course Structure and Content - The course curriculum is visible when purchasing a ticket and detailed again in the course pack sent after booking. While I appreciate your comments on structure, students have full visibility of what is covered and the loose timings from the outset. The class is built to teach specific techniques rather than complete a full miniature, which is why we use individual parts. This approach removes pressure from working on personal models and allows everyone to focus on achieving consistent, high-quality results.
Airbrush Use - The airbrush section has been a core part of this course for over ten years. Although airbrushes are often used by commission painters, they are also extremely useful for hobbyists for basecoating, priming, and smooth blends. This section consistently receives positive feedback from students of all levels.
Venue and Visibility - We have taught at Bad Moon Café for over five years and regularly receive positive feedback on both the venue and facilities. I’m sorry the setup did not meet your expectations this time. During each demonstration, pieces are passed around for all students to view under their lamps, and I remind everyone to move closer or ask to see a step again if needed. I encourage questions and make it clear from the start that there are no silly questions and to always ask until satisfied. I am therefore a little surprised that you were seated close but didn’t get to view the demo pieces. Your suggestion about adding a screen is appreciated, though many students prefer examining the pieces directly for colour and texture. We’ll keep this in mind for future classes.
Pace of Instruction - The pace of the class is structured to start slowly on Day 1 as students learn new methods, then progress faster on Day 2 when those skills are put into practice. This ensures the full curriculum is covered and confidence builds through repetition. I’m sorry it felt too quick at times and will take your comments onboard when reviewing the balance.
Feedback and Critique - Feedback is always factual, honest, and encouraging. It is never meant to be harsh, but constructive and supportive so that students leave confident and motivated. If my feedback felt polite, that was because your painting was genuinely strong.
Technical Topics - For clarity, dilution (both brush and airbrush), brush loading, control, and layering were all covered throughout the weekend. These are key parts of the EMC1 curriculum and are demonstrated to the group as well as individually during my walkthroughs with each student.
Thank you again for your feedback. I’m sorry your experience was not what we hope for and appreciate you taking the time to share it with us. It was a pleasure having you on the class and I wish you the best in your continued painting journey.

I was worried about my inexperience but it didn't hold me back, I gained a huge amount over the 2 days.

Siege Studios commission #1652
I commissioned Siege Studios to paint a couple of Warhammer 40K units (10 models) after seeing their work online via YouTube/Instagram.
Having never used them before I figured try a small commission to test them out and I can honestly say I was amazed at the professionalism of their service, regular communications and updates.
And the painting level was amazing (even at their bronze standard. The beauty of their commissions is they paint (and/or sculpt/convert) exactly what you request and the final product was true what I had in mind.
I will be using them more and more!

Structured information and feedback
I am a novice painter and James took the time to explain the basics from brush control to getting to know your paints and color theory in an easy to understand way. It left me with great advice that is easy to apply.
It makes me look differently at painting a mini, so I can make it the best for my current skill level, and sets me up for even better results in the (near) future.

Ok course, not great space
Course itself was ok, the venue space was noisy and too busy, hard to listen to the instructions with people playing games around you. The class also felt over-subscribed, with not enough individual trouble-shooting and feedback.
Reply to comment: Thank you for your reply. After some consideration I decided to revised my rating, since the initial one was too harsh.

I had my 1st tuition class from James
I had my 1st tuition class from James. It was great. We immediately started from the basics because this is what I had asked for. I have learned I need to relearn proper techniques and he gave me exercises to practice. I have booked another 6 lessons and look forward to my growth as a hobby painter.

Highly Recommended
First heard about this course years ago in a Luetin video, way before I was into the actual model / tabletop part of the hobby. Got into the hobby earlier this year, decided a course would be a good idea. So glad I chose this course.
1. Customer service has been superb throughout. Had to move dates so I could do the course with a friend and they handled it with no fuss.
2. The quality of the teaching was superb. It's a privilege to have access to world class teachers at this price point to teach such excellent fundamental theory and technical skills.
3. It was just a super enjoyable day. Everyone was made to feel welcome, and while the learning was intense and challenging, it was fun and very rewarding.
I came into this course with high expectations, and they were blown away.
Very much looking forward to booking my next course.

Direct, practical, no-nonsense. 10/10 would recommend
I learned SO many fundamental skills that will enable me to troubleshoot my own problems, and grow as a painter. The course has given me a sense of direction and confidence.
I think the underlying reason is that the course follows a philosophy of "teach a man to fish" - we're learning how to learn, based on a set of principles, not just following steps

Another exceptional commission matching an existing scheme
Working with Siege Studios is always a great experience. The team are knowledgeable and passionate about the hobby and it is very clear that they want to fulfil your own vision for what the models should look like.
In my case I had an existing paint scheme that needed to be matched to an indistinguishable level and throughout the process I never doubted that the team could achieve this. During the process every detail felt covered and when I started to see pictures I was extremely pleased as, side by side with originals, I couldn’t tell the models apart.
I am already planning my next expansion to this army confident that the result will be exceptional and I can’t recommend Siege highly enough!
