German based artists to customise figures and paint them

Hi all,
I was wondering if you could let me know whether there is any artist based in Germany who would customise figures or paint them. As someone has mentioned before, I would not like to send my figures too far away to be repainted, in order to avoid losing them potentially >:(
I wouldn't mind including any other country in the vicinity, such as Switzerland, Autria, or France, maybe Italy.
I would love to be able to send some of my pieces to Sir Martin Garratt, but unfortunately I cannot afford it, and honestly I don't know if he would be willing to paint a scratched Mastodonsaurus  :-\ Probably he has a lot of work and that might bother him. :(
Thanks

For what people here say Martin's service ain't that expensive, did you already ask him for a quote?

I know that the lady from the german youtube channel "Kathrins Dinoversum" ( https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCXCDg8mIASPGfgZgkgxaQTw ) does paint works for her figures.
I don't know if she takes commissions.
If I remember correctly, she did some repaints for a DTF member (but I'm not totally sure about that..).
You could ask her: she is in your Country...

Hi Reptilia, to be honest I have not! If there is someone closer half as skilled as him, it would be enough for me!

Thanks RobinGoodfellow for the info. I will find out ;D

Kathrin did a fantastic job on a huge Pachyrhinosaurus of mine a few months ago, that is correct. I think she does take commissions.  Unfortunately she is no member here but on YouTube she runs "Kathrins Dino Channel " or "Kathrins Dinoversum " as she newly calls it.

I live in Germany :D To be honest my expertise is more the sculpting part, than the painting. But I would consider taking commissions. I have some painted models posted in my deviantart gallery. I certainly canĀ“t offer the quality, like Martin Garratt! But if your interested just write me a PM or mail.
