Hobby Masterclass Artists at Herrick Games and Hobbies

Multiple Golden Demon trophy winner, Crystal Brush Finalist, and Factory Team Lead for The Army Painter, Caleb is the industry standard for airbrushing and weathering. His CK Studios school travels internationally, and his "Practical High Standards" philosophy — winning trophies with efficient, repeatable techniques — has changed the way our community approaches their craft. As Skye will tell you, this store wouldn't exist without him.

Resin Beast Finalist, Best of Show at multiple regional events, and multi-time Golden Demon Finalist, Dan is the world's leading authority on industrial weathering and large-scale mechanical painting. Known as the "Titan Specialist," his signature style transforms Knights and Titans into centrepieces that look like they've survived a thousand-year war.

World Model Expo Gold Medalist, Scale Model Challenge Gold Medalist, and Monte San Savino Finalist, Krzysztof is a Polish master of volume and composition who brings a true fine-art academic sensibility to miniature painting. A world-renowned judge at international painting competitions, his "painterly" European style teaches you to see light and color in a way that will permanently elevate your work.

Golden Demon winner and Horus Heresy "Best in Show" across multiple events, Rob — known as "The Tank King" — revolutionized the Horus Heresy painting style. His mastery of panel modulation and realistic battle damage for armoured vehicles is unmatched, and he has a gift for making techniques that look impossibly difficult feel completely achievable.

Golden Demon Gold winner at AdeptiCon 2026 — where his entry was praised for NMM that looked "better than real metal" — plus multiple Silver and Bronze Demons from 2023–2025, Nikolas is the master of micro-texturing. Fresh off the biggest win of his career, his stippling technique for Non-Metallic Metal is widely considered the finest in the world right now.

Golden Demon Gold (2018), Silver Demon (2023), and World Model Expo Gold winner, Kaha is famous for her high-saturation style — treating miniatures like sculptures with "off-color" shadows and highlights that produce vibrant, fantasy-style masterpieces. She brought her extraordinary European artistry to Boulder Creek and even designed the class model herself, inspired by our Redwood forests.

Golden Demon Gold at AdeptiCon 2026, Monte San Savino Gold, and World Model Expo Top Honors — Steven is currently at the absolute peak of his career. Noted at the most recent Golden Demon for having some of the cleanest technical skill in the world, his deep methodical approach to light placement, blending, and fine detail has helped our students make genuine leaps in their competition-level painting.
