Hi all! I'm planning on picking up the kaiyodo artpla rex kit and am trying to decide between building/painting it myself or paying someone else too. Would anyone be able to suggest any good builders located in the US (I'm on the west coast specifically if that helps.) as well as how much they might charge?

I am also looking for a US-based painter for a commission...

I wouldn't feel comfortable putting a price on someone elses work. I would just say generally all I've dealt with are reasonable. 

Shane Foulkes and Ansley Daniel/ Art By Anz on FB have both done well by me, but both are also VERY busy.  Martin Garratt in the UK is fantastic too and he will ship to the U.S. I personally do custom work and build/paint as I have time, usually on larger pieces.

I can't seem to find socials for Martin or Shane, would you be able to link them?
