     Wow, what a lineup. Check the demos page for details.
Coming Soon

     Check the Gaming page for specifics, but you'll find all sorts of miniatures games at Con on the Cob.


      Our Painting staff will be on hand for tutorials, just ask. Additionally, feel free to bring miniatures painted at home for gentle critique and helpful hints for improving your techniques. As always, this event is free with your convention badge; it will be walkup and available throughout the convention!

     Yes indeed, Con on the Cob is proud to present Paint This! the CotC Miniatures Painting Extravaganza. Bring prepainted minis to the show or paint them at the Paint & Take. It doesn't matter to us. What does matter is that you did the painting yourself and that you had fun doing it.
     The contest is open to everyone, regardless of age or experience. There is no entry fee and each person may enter as many minitaures in each category as they want.
     First place winners in each category will receive great prizes. Best of show (one miniature selected from among all the categories) will win a genuine Corny Award. Winners will be announced at the award presentation ceremony Sunday afternoon.
