am trying to get some models painted high quality but am unsure bout prices that am being offered can i get some help please
Depending on what you mean by high quality, you can be spending hundreds per model.
high tabletop quality
Table top quality prices usually start at about $5 a figure on the very low end and go up from there depending on painter and quality.
It would also depend on the size of the model. Are we talking basic infantry, ICs, vehicles, or what?
well man you really should get down to the real details... what are you getting painted? is it a single model? hero? monster? large tank? Hate Tyson, more details, what gaming system. what all do you want done? who is doing the painting... thats major. more details and Then we could give a better answer...
You know when you're in second grade and you keep telling your friend that you don't like that girl, over and over, because you really do?Quote:

It depends on what you want painted, how good and how fast. I think you will find someone easily enough but you will get either good speed or good quality, not both.
Hell even Spines paints real good but he is slower than....well nothing is slower than he is! :)
thunderfire cannon ironclad dreadnought and land raider crusader are my top priorities right now i can get a pic of the paint scheme tomorrow
Assuming you don't have some crazy cross-hatched scheme, I'd be able to do those quickly and cleanly.
Sri lanka is your friend, try www.PaintedFigs.Com Navin runs a good shop, I have never had issues with him at all.
so paintedfigs does really good work but how long does it take to get your stuff done
but for howmuch if i can give u pics?Quote:

Thunder Fire Cannon - Tier 1-1.5 based on the model etc
Paint - $25.00 - Covers the cannon and Tech Marine - includes basing
IronClad
Paint - $25.00 - Covers the pieces as well as basing etc.
Crusader
Paint - $35.00 - no basing obviously but covers painting the model at a base standard.
Vehicles do well at Tier 1 while Characters and other special models I would say you want better. The more models you order normally the better the discount - ie some models get painted at Tier 2 instead of at Tier 1 etc.
You can see my site at www.fullofmonkey.com
Those 3 models would most likely take a few days to do depend on the scheme and if they are built already etc. I would base the Thunder Fire cannon because it will just lose paint if it doesn't have a plastic ring around it to protect it from Cheetos and other game related injuries.
You can email me at [email protected] if you want.
I have an OOP WraithLord......
How much isn't a big deal to me; I need an excuse to get painting, and having a commission would force me to do it again. Get a picture of the paint scheme and we can price it.
hey just to piss everyone off... ol slow ass Splnes will do it for $10 the dread and the $15 for LandRaider, I undercut everyone... i dont want to touch the Thunderfire cannon... they are bad luck, give me the paint sceme and dead line and i will get them done. oh and are they assembled? i dont want to mess around with anything not glued... not for my crazy prices... and dont believe everything they say, i am slow... but only in the head!
Im a retard with a paint brush!
thats a horrible sales pitch right?
I'll do it......FOR ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!!
But...you smell funny.Quote:

Yeah, looking at their quality of work, that really shouldn't cost 1400. The simplicity of your scheme is such that you really should be paying them the price for dipped models rather than standard quality.
