Talk Fantasy Football

Hi all,
maybe we could put together a list of people/websites that paint for cash.
Would be very handy when you've got a spankin' new team and no time to paint it.

As a customer service, I'll try to figure out what each company charges to paint a full team (15 men and a big guy) to a decent gaming standard. If we can get pictures then we can compare quality of work, but for now we'll just be checking prices - for level2/silver painting where possible.

http://www.blogger.com/home (Apoc/Goonerz)
£4.50 for regular 28mm mini's and £6 for big guys = full team: 73.5£ (+ shipping)
links to my previous works are found:

15 "infantry" (@ 5.5$) and 1 large monster (12-15$) = 97.5$ (+shipping)

15 basic models (@ 15$) and 1 large (30$) = 255$ (+ shipping)
no pictures available

15 foot (@ 3.5$) 1 cavalry/gun(?) (7-10$) = 62.5$ (+ shipping)

15 foot (6£) 1 cavalry(?) (10£) = 100£ (+shipping).
Better painting than "level 2", sample pic: http://www.geocities.com/fir3breather/khemri.html

15 basic infantry (@ 10$) and 1 medium monster (24$) = 174$ (+shipping)
His level 1 (lowest) painting looks better than this topics "level 2".

Anyone else?

i do some, not GD standard but have done a few peices for guys on tbb and do them ata fraction of the cost compared to the uk link you have there.

Need a better cam though - pics arn't coming out right but hey ho

I'm seriously considering doing Star Players/Single minis for people (if there is interest.) Complete teams are a bit beyond my schedule atm sadly. The most I've managed from my own collection is 12/16 minis.

Hi Goonerz and Fen,
how about a rough estimate of what you'd charge?

Cheers
Martin

Honestly, I have little clue about how much I'd charge. I've just been musing it over recently. I don't know how much pros charge and I'd hate to undercharge because each mini represents about 3 - 4 Hours of work for me.

Obviously, I couldn't charge a pro rate, I'm not that standard, but also I don't know what would be competitive, while also covering time invested and materials.

Heh, not a lot of help am I? I should have a look at what other charge for their standard and try to compare.

I am open to offers though.

Ok, an ogre team left my studio/spare room for £40 which included insured postage back to the states.

6 Ogre players (inc.thrower with gobbo) £3.50 each (£21)
Cheerleader £3.50
and a gobbo on his own - £2.00
So £26.5 for the team less postage

All my prices are on the site, although a few can vary as not all models are of a certain size/detail.

I can also strip and repaint your old models too (provided they were painted in actual modelling paint like Vallejo and citadel, otherwise you receive your fig back in a puddle of goo! ) Both metal and plastic.

One of the other pros of my service is that I have 3 GW staffers for back up on big jobs, so need an army in a hurry? Job done.

Take a look on the site for more details, or drop me a pm or email.

As my site was built by myself it looks a liitle dull, i am looking to replace it with a snazzy new one, if you can help with this please let me know, i'd be most grateful

I have had 2 teams painted by an English pro at prices I considered pretty fair. (GBP150-ish for a cd team of 1 troll, 6 cd's, 8 hobgobs, 2 bulls and 3 cheerleaders, including assembly and postage). Recently also has a loose Mino done for GBP 12.

I like the level of detail he provides, and find him a very pleasant guy to communicate with.

If you want to see some pics, please send me a pm, and I will e-mail them to you.

If you want to get in touch with him directly, this can be done via sarahrichnmax@aol.com.

I didnt realise i`d become so annonymous on this site, must post more often, link to my site in the signature

Forget to say that on top of the CHEAP prices, anyone that mentions TBB in their order gets 10% off painting costs!

I'm going to toss my name in the hat. I haven't figured out any details yet but I'll get a simple webpage up outlining some sort of service and terms.

Up in Abercwmboi? I would very much like to have a look at it once it's converted up then.
