Foreword

I've been painting since the mid 1980's and started on the then called Citadel miniatures which became Games Workshop later on. I still find it very enjoyable and get great satisfaction knowing that the figures I paint will be used in many types of battles and campaigns.

If you would like to find out more information please don't hesitate to contact me.

My Promise

All figures will all be painted and based to an even standard no matter how big, and the price I quote will be the price you pay, not hidden extras.

Painting Price Guide

Firstly, the prices below do NOT include the cost of the figures which is purchased by the customer and forwarded onto me. If you have a preference I can purchase them for you and add them onto the price exactly what they cost me. A copy of the invoice for the figures will be provided for your reference.

After receiving your initial email a few emails will be sent with any further questions and at the end if you decide to go ahead a full and total price will be quoted with a comprehensive breakdown of all the costs.

Prices are for individual figures but do NOT include basing or flags, these are extra. (see basing chart below)

You will also got your own web page where I shall give progress reports and if possible pictures.

I paint in 2 different levels, Wargames Standard and Superior Standard

WARGAMES STANDARD

This includes undercoating, base colour, then 1 highlight, plus 2 coats of varnish, either Matt or Gloss. Basing is on plastic card 2mm thick and plain green flocked.

SUPERIOR STANDARD

This includes undercoating, base colour, then at least one highlight coat and a maximum of 3, plus 2 coats of varnish either Matt or Gloss. Basing is on 2mm thick plastic card with mud and green static grass. Also included is the regiment name on the bottom of each base for quick reference in the heat of battle

POST & PACKAGING (for painted figures)

P&P will be at cost to me, what I pay will be added to the bill. Each base will be individually bubble wrapped for extra protection. Proof of posting will be taken. If you require next day delivery or insurance they will be charged at cost. I refuse to inflate postage costs to my customers just to make a few extra pennies.

TIMING

The turn around times for painted figures depends on how busy I currently am at time of request. Upon a request I would give a date, which would be static unless unforeseen circumstances occur, at which time I would give a new date, but this one would be set in stone.

What I need to know

Level of painting required

Do you have a specific corps, battalion etc in mind. If not, I have a large selection I can email you depending on your country of choice.

BASING

Some people change rules and need to re-base figures, for those who are looking for just basing prices only. The below prices are for basing only and not removing figures from old bases. This is done by the customer as it will also greatly reduce postage coasts.

 Basing Only Prices This is based on per figure. So if you have 24 figure regiment times the price by 24
