A mate and I are going to start up a website to offer custom painting (watch out for over advertising ) please take a look at the pictures I have posted in the gallery and let me know your thoughts

http://www.scale-models.co.uk/galler...p?c=11&userid=

There are a lot of people that are in to things like warhammer but either don't like or not confident enough to paint their figures, so that is where we come in, the website name and other details are to be de sided but I would still like feedback from people here to the quality of the figures and general comments.

All depends on if you want gaming or showcase standard

Howdy John,

Those figures are amazing. I personally am not into wargaming but I do have interest in these little figures. I have built in the past several of the Dragon models as well as a armoured giant spider of some sort lol. But I know that some of these type figures sell for as much as $50.00 (US) here in the states. I am not sure of the cost there in the UK but with that type investment, and without getting into your financial matters, is this something that you can make money off of? (Painting other peoples figures) Or would you purchase the figures, assemble and then paint then resale them?
I think the craftsmanship is excellant in your models shown in the gallery so I think resale of completed figures would be the way to go providing you think there is a large enough market.

have a good day,

Greg

John, I think in comparrison with other gaming figures I have seen, (rather than figures I am capable of producing myself), they tend to suffer from a bit too much of an overall glossiness and a lack of blending and shading.

Obviously at the magnification you have them at you can see everything, and I don't even know what scale we are talking about here, but there does not seem to be much in the way of blending, which would take the realism to another level relatively easily.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not the expert here by a long stretch but I assume you want constructive feedback rather than anything else?

This is a link to an amazing site that I visit occassionally for inspiration which contain some superb tutorials and hopefully might just help you along the way.

The gloss look is a varnish that has been applied after painting, as for the paint clinic they are fantastic and very well done, I will have to spend a bit more time looking on there
