We are thrilled to announce that this year’s hobby space has been updated and upgraded! Verko’s Vault, the Museum of Fantasy Miniatures, will be taking the reins and leading the new and improved Hobby Seminar Program into what will be our best year yet! Their place among the world’s top talent will bring to LVO the very best that the miniatures world has to offer! We are proud to have them as the Lead Sponsor for LVO 2025!
This year we are bringing back our highly sought after Masterclasses. We are honored to host Marco Frisoni NJM, Journeyman Miniature’s own Tim Marsh, the powerhouse Erik Swinson and last year’s LVO Best in Show, Matt DiPietro! Take your skills to the next level and enjoy 3 days of intense unbridled miniature painting with these outstanding artists. We have also expanded our program’s roster of standard classes. This year we will have over 60 of these Studio Classes.
Need to up your game? This is the way!
If you are looking for a more casual hobby experience, come down to our Hobby Hub! There you can meet your friends from around the world and make new ones. With the Hobby Pass ticket, you’ll get access to Paint n’ Takes, as well as various Hobby Challenges! While you’re there, say hi to our good friend Squidmar! He’s flying all the way from across the sea for a couple special events!
With a new lead sponsor to the hobby program comes a new painting competition to LVO! The first Verko’s Vault Master’s Championship is sure to draw the attention of all Miniature Painters from around the world. With a total purse of over $7,500, this competition will light a fire under your brush. Time’s a-wastin’, let’s get to painting!
