INCLUDED
Paint, standard supplies, simple tabletop basing when requested, varnish, progress photos, and a final approval photo.
ADDED WHEN NEEDED
Model purchase, assembly from sprue, repairs, premium scenic basing, magnets, conversions, and shipping.
BOOKING
A 50% deposit plus any model purchase reserves the project. The balance and return shipping are due after final photos and before the models head home.
A GOOD FIT
You want an army on the table, not under a microscope.
I am still improving as a painter, and the founding rates reflect that. You are paying for a consistent, solid tabletop army and clear communication, not competition-level finishing at competition-level prices.
This is for budget-conscious hobbyists who want a cohesive force they are excited to use. Starter armies, reinforcements, historical formations, and full units are all welcome.
If your project needs showcase painting or advanced freehand, I will be honest about whether I am the right painter before taking your deposit.
