Review Time
Attended the painting master class in Stockport. Simon was fantastic, never boring or monotone when going through the processes and gave constructive feedback and help. It would have been awesome to have some kind of streaming/camera setup so we could see him work his magic up close but he always had the time to show you how if you asked for that bit of extra help. Would definitely recommend
The course with Simon was fantastic, it was my first painting course (3 years in the hobby) I learnt so much and it makes such a difference to have that knowledge in front of you, for questions, feedback and to watch how it should be done step by step. I absolutely would recommend anyone who is on the fence to go for it. The only reason I haven’t given this a perfect score was that the course I booked onto was very popular, meaning we had to do it in the main gaming room at element, so it was a little difficult to hear and get close enough to the demonstrations to see as well as I could have.
Excellent course ! I met an impressive teacher, who was able to clearly explain his techniques and was always supporting the students. He delivered us lots of advices, and constructive criticism when necessary.I strongly recommend this course to whoever wants to improve their basic painting skills !
It pains me to leave a negative review as I was looking forward to the course. However, I think it's worth leaving some constructive feedback. Firstly, the course was held at element games in their main gaming room, which as you imagine is pretty loud and not particularly conducive to hearing what is being said. Also, the class size was probably about 25+ students to one tutor and with barely enough room for all of us to gather round and watch his demonstrations. I think I stood on the other side of a table watching the tutor paint a sword about 4 metres away. Just to be clear, Simon (I think) who ran the course was very professional as well as knowledgeable and did the best he could I just think there was to many of us in an illsuited environment. Edit: Reply to Siege Studios..I think it's necessary to give a response to your reply to my original review.Firstly, fair enough in regards to 23 students as opposed to 25+ plus students that I stated. This was an incorrect estimation on my part. However, I still think this is a pretty sizeable number when considering the fact that people must crowd round to see the demonstrations. You state that standing at the back is entirely within my control. I'm sorry there's only so much space, unless you expect people to climb over one another. Furthermore, it is not true that no one has ever raised concerns over the class size. On the 25th of February of this year another customer made similar criticisms and suggested maybe a camera and projector to aid the demonstrations would help, I agree with this suggestion.Moving on to your point about what venue I book is my decision, to which you are correct, it is and perhaps I should have proceeded with greater due diligence. However, I think it is reasonable that I or anyone else would expect the course to be carried out in a separate room and not in a room full of dozens of people playing table top games to be a reasonable one. Also, I think siege studios is aware of this, as Simon on the day said “we have a private room, but it's too small and too many people book the course”. So I think it's a bit disingenuous to push this back on to me as a customer when this issue is actually something Siege Studios accounted for in the first place.So finishing up, I don't think these issues are outside Siege Studios control and replying with AI laden wall of text and pushing everything back onto me as a paying customer is a bit crap to be honest.Response to James:I apologise for the wall of text comment, that was unnecessary. Look I love what you guys do at Siege, I watch your podcast every week and have periodically signed up for your patreon, which has great content on it. But you as a business you have asked for my feedback, which I have given you. All the best with siege studios.
Relatively easy to navigate website. Think I prefer pages, than the autoload on scroll down. Also the popup declaring free pdf if you subscribe didn't work for me when I put in my email. But ultimately found what I wanted and downloaded the PDF instantly.
When I could get through to your team it was great but I found using the website very frustrating as the only way I seemed to be able to make contact with you was by placing and order, no general inquiries email address at all.Since siege have now responded I would like to clarify a few points -There is no contact us, it takes you to an order form for their painting services. The info@ email address is not listen on their website and is only provided when making a complaint etc.If I have missed something please provide a screenshot as the website seems engineered to push you towards ordering rather than making enquiries.
My experience with Siege has been nothing short of excellent!Despite a lengthy 15 month wait between quote & project completion, I can honestly say the wait was more than worth it.The studio were very generous & accommodating regarding what I could afford at their warrior workshop painting level & they’ve gone above & beyond to create a beautiful army. I elected to go with a more battle damaged & “chipped” look which in tandem with their amazing paint job has made the army feel very immersive & I cannot wait to get it onto the tabletop asap!The communication was largely very good & I spoke to lots of different key people throughout the process including a personal call from the ceo which was a nice touch!Overall I am very impressed & I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get any miniatures painted professionally.5*!
