From the competition bench
The Bench Behind Miniature Masters.
The tools competitors trusted from first challenge to final reveal.
Bench interview
A pro bench changes what a painter can focus on.
When the tools are trustworthy, painters can spend more attention on color, texture, contrast, and finish. These are the bench stories behind the Redgrass tools used throughout the show.

When color judgement matters, the desk light becomes part of the craft.
A pro setting makes every choice more visible. Good lighting does not paint the miniature for you, but it helps make color, contrast, and texture easier to read.

Painter reactions
Eight competitors. One professional bench.
Each painter brought a different style to the show. Their comments point to the same idea: dependable tools make it easier to raise the level of the work.

“The lamps are incredibly easy to position and adjust, and the clippers are my go-to choice for building miniatures.”
Maxime Dader

“I love Redgrass wet palettes. They’re part of my painting process, making my every painting day easier. My painting just doesn’t work without them.”

“As a photographer I know how important a good lighting setup is. Working with Redgrass made all the difference in my flow and concentration.”

“The adjustable direction of both lights and the ability to modulate intensity is super helpful. The foam of the wet palette feels way more hygienic.”
