Hi

I have some unpainted minis and I don't have the talent and the time to paint them myself. Does anyone now someone in germany that paints minis for other people?
I mean he will get payed money for this painting.

I would be happy if someone helps me.

Thx

I only know: firebreather (UK) paints models.. and norse (NL) does it too...

But it's quite expensive I think..


so you should better make time and just practise painting them !! thats the best way I think !!

Oh man... I hope you have a lot of money, if your skills are too bad to paint by yourself.

Painting-Services are rather expensive. :cry:

But here are a few very good german painters:

http://www.cavumdraconis.de/Painting/bemalservice.htm
-->paints everything and has fair prices I think

http://www.sunrune.com/
-->they have a very open pricing-system, but their minis are absolutely cool. I really like their painting-style... check out the gallerys

http://www.fantasyminiatures.de/
-->he is expensive, but his minis are worth it. On the Website you'll also find something about a Miniature-Con, the "Miniaturenansichten II". Many quality painters will be there and maybe you can find a painting service or two by checking the names of the list via yahoo or google.
(PS. it's in Witten, so maybe you mind taking the time and have a trip over there. Not 'toooooo' far away from Bonn. :wink:


Maybe this helps a bit...

Greets,
Pils

--> no prob, just let me know, when you've find one that suits you. A friend of mine also wants to give his minis in professional hands.

So, if possible give me a little feedback... I never tried those services, I just know some of those in person. I'm really interested in the results. :)

@ trav

I'll be at the Miniaturenansichten... at least I will if nothing comes in between. Holger is one of the players in our BB-League. I knowed the name over the i-net before and were kinda surprised to see him being my oponent in the first ladder-game. :lol:

As I know the miniatures of some of those painters, I'm really looking forward to see some of 'em in real. Some awesome and stunning works there, I'm sure. 8)
