VOICE IN THE STORM

Christopher Wailes, Founder of Thunderhead Studio:

Thunderhead Studio is an natural development of my life over the past 30 years. Throughout high school, military service, and now semi-retired life, the most consistent thread has been a love of tabletop gaming, specifically miniatures. 3D design and printing was a necessary progression from hand-crafting a massive multi-level fortress out of foam in 2005. Thunderhead Studio is what you see today.

I endeavor to make thoughtfully engineered, good-looking, and functional game pieces. Everything I create is ultimately meant for my own tabletop, with quality and attention to detail to be used at my own table. I hope you enjoy it on yours!
