Build Paint Play

Dave Taylor and Jake Krajeski

We're Dave Taylor and Jake Krajeski. We've been involved in wargaming for more than 50 years combined and have worked for most of the large wargaming companies in some way, shape, or form. Dave currently publishes books focused on miniature painting and terrain building such as Terrain Essentials and THE ART OF... series. Jake currently runs a very successful friendly local game store in Quincy, MA.

Our YouTube channel is called Build Paint Play. We do a weekly livestream where we chat about a particular topic that we feel is important to miniature painters and tabletop wargamers. We are often joined by guests who are experts in their fields/topics, and have been sponsored by The Army Painter for the last three seasons.

Our top three products from The Army Painter are:

"The first one has to be the Warpaints Fanatic range. We love the Flexible Triads that help with quick color choices and the wonderfully consistent consistencies. (Particular favorites are Matt Black, Ice Yellow, and Wicked Pink)"
"We love the wide range of colors in the Colour Primer sprays that can help speed up army painting."
"The large, soft, round Masterclass: Mighty Drybrush is great for picking out the edges on textured surfaces, or building up bright and rich colors on larger flat surfaces."
