About this event

Ever feel overwhelmed by your growing pile of unpainted miniatures, vehicles, or terrain?

This free 3-day masterclass will teach you how to speed paint with purpose and precision—delivering amazing tabletop results in less time, with less stress, and more joy.

Led by award-winning miniature artist Stefano Levorato - Metal Merak, you’ll learn how to unlock speed without sacrificing quality, through step-by-step live demos that you can follow from home.


DAY 1 – MINIATURES: From Grey to Glory

Learn how to paint a full squad of miniatures with speed and style. We'll dive into core speed painting techniques — batching, base coating, fast contrast building, and edge highlights — all designed to help you get quality results, quickly.


DAY 2 – VEHICLES: Engines of Color

Painting tanks, mechs, and war machines like a pro — in a fraction of the time. This session is all about approaching larger models with strategic workflows. You’ll learn about sub-assemblies, metallics, weathering, and panel shading without spending days on one vehicle.


DAY3 – SCENERY: Build Your World, Fast

Discover how to turn basic scenery into immersive battlefields — without overcomplicating the process. We’ll explore terrain techniques to paint large environments quickly and beautifully. From rusted ruins to forest bases and stone towers, this day is about bringing your world to life in record time.


Each day includes:

✔️ 1:30 hour of live painting
✔️ 30 minutes of Q&A + surprise extras
✔️ Step-by-step guidance, even if you're a beginner
✔️ Free and open to all — no tools or paints required to watch
