About Us
Welcome to Double Star Games And Hobbies, your one-stop destination for all things related to the miniature hobby world! Our passion for crafting, painting, and gaming has inspired us to create a space where fellow enthusiasts can find everything they need to ignite their own creative passions.
Why "Double Star"?
The name "Double Star" is inspired by astronomy. A double star, or binary star, is a system of two stars gravitationally bound and orbiting around each other. The concept resonates with the experience of two players engaging in a miniature war game revolving around the table, bonded by their shared passion for the hobby.
"In an empty room, floating amid the fires of a double star twenty thousand light-years from Earth, a baby opened its eyes..."
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
Our Unique Store Sign
Our store sign was designed by an AI (Stable Diffusion) after providing it with information about our store concept. The initial sketch features a floating castle under six stars. While the AI may not know how to count, the design is unique, and besides using an AI-generated design as a store sign is pretty cool.
