[not sure if this is the right place to post this as opposed to Classifieds, since its more of a service, not an item. Admins, feel free to correct if necessary]

I am offering my services for Custom Repaints. Below are some of what I feel are my best pieces, but links to all of them are in my signature.

The customer is responsible in getting the figure to me. For repaints, I typically spray the figure with black acrylic primer, then dry-brush with white before I start color-painting. Once the painting is done, I apply a coat of ink wash, then spray finish (either matte or gloss).

STANDARD RATES (typically includes shipping)
$40 - Miniature Figures (Ex: standard gaming figure size or Toob minis)
$50 - Small Figures (Ex: most standard CollectA ceratopsians)
$60 - Mid-sized Figures (Ex: most Terra by Battat figures)
$70* - Large Figures (Ex: Papo T. rex or Papo Triceratops)
$80* - X-Large Figures (Ex: Carnegie or Papo Brachiosaurus)

*Depending on the shape & weight of the figure, additional shipping cost may apply. The same may also apply for orders of multiple figures, depending on the quantity, shapes & weights of the figures.

Because I have a family and a full-time job, paint work is done whenever I get free time outside of prior engagements. If you want your figure ASAP (I understand the feeling!), I charge a "Priority Fee" of $20, which means any available free time I have goes towards completing your figure. Otherwise, it gets done when it gets done, which could be several weeks or even months.

Feel free to comment below or PM me if you have any questions.

Those are pretty nice! I have more unpainted figures than I can realistically expect to get around to; how do you feel about fish?
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Great with tartar sauce,  ;D

Just kidding...I've yet to paint a fish, but I'd be willing to try.
