HOW I WORK

WHAT YOU DO IS WHO YOU ARE

When approaching a new commission it is important for me to really understand what you want and thus give you the best possible experience. I take great pride and joy in bringing to life your projects!

Therefore i prefer to talk in advance about all the details in order to have a clear idea of your request.

To get a quote, simply fill the contact form below or drop me an email, remembering to add as many details as possibile, most importantly:

1- Who you are

It’s always nice to know who’s on the other end of the line. 🙂

2 – A detailed list of models

Especially important in case of army projects or large batch of miniatures. A list is essential to let me understand in detail what you want painted and provide an accurate quote.

3 – Painting informations

Desired painting level, color scheme, use of special techniques like NMM or OSL, basing, and all optional services like conversions, assembly, etc

Don’t be afraid about writing a long message: add as much informations as you can.

Normally, communication with customers happens on tuesday and friday.

PAINTING LEVELS

CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY

To fit all needs and budgets, i offer 4 painting tiers from tabletop to collector quality. Here’s a description of each one:

STANDARD

A high tabletop level that fits very well for large-sized commissions.

It consists of a basecoat, a shadow and then 1-2 highlights to bring out the volumes.

Most of the colors are painted and the majority of details picked out, resulting in a clean and precise paintjob with affordable price/quality ratio.

ADVANCED

I suggest this quality for heroes, characters and important models, but in truth it’s suitable for everything that you want painted at a higher quality.

At this tier more layers of shadows and highlights are painted and all details are picked out.Some techniques may be used to enhance the paintjob, like textures or weathering: generally speaking, the miniatures looks more defined and alive.

Vignette of Death: White Gigalion, Survivors

DISPLAY

Display quality means a steep rise in precision, smoothness of blendings, positioning of lights and much more.

Complex techniques may be used extensively: for example Non Metallic Metal, OSL, etc If you want your model to really shine, go for this tier: good choices are generals, centerpiece heroes, or miniatures you’re fond of and plan to showcase in your cabinet.

MASTERCLASS

Intended for bespoke, collector’s pieces, this painting level represents the best i can do and it’s the ultimate choice for very important miniatures that you envision at an exquisite quality.

Every model painted at this standard requires a lot of work and planning, and is priced individually on a case by case basis.

BASING & ASSEMBLING

HOW I PREPARE THE GROUND

All quoted prices include a standard basing with sand or earth.

More complex bases are priced individually—generally, the more materials used, the higher the cost. For example, a base with just grass tufts will be less expensive than one featuring tufts, snow, rocks, skulls, etc…

Custom display bases and scenic vignettes require a more in-depth discussion, as they can take just as much time to craft as the painting itself. If you have something special in mind, feel free to provide as many details as possible in the

Contact Form.

Miniature assembly is a crucial step in the process, ensuring a solid foundation for painting.

It involves removing mold lines, filling gaps, washing resin models before priming etc…

Since this takes time and precision, an assembly fee is charged based on the size and complexity of each model.

If you prefer to send pre-assembled miniatures, that’s perfectly fine! However, for some models, I may require separate parts to allow for better painting results.

PRICING

BANG FOR YOUR BUCK

I don’t find fixed pricing tables practical. Given the huge differences between miniatures—even within the same range or game system—and the impact certain choices can have on the final cost, I prefer to treat each project as unique.

This allows me to discuss the details with the customer and provide a tailored quote, usually requiring just a couple of emails.

That said, here are some general guidelines to give you an idea of my pricing:

prices for infantry models painted at a good tabletop quality (“standard” tier) generally starts from 10€-15€
prices for single models/characters starts from 30-50€
display quality painting for single miniatures starts at 250€
assembly for infantry will usually cost 1-2€, with simple basing (sand/grass) included
monsters, vehicles and all sorts of special miniatures needs to be discussed individually: feel invited to contact me in order to receive detailed informations

PURCHASE OF MODELS

GET YOUR SHOPPING LIST READY

If the models need to be purchased for the commission, the easiest solution is for you to buy them and have them shipped directly to my address.

If this is not possible, I can handle the purchase on your behalf, either from the manufacturer or an independent retailer. In this case, the full amount for the purchase will be requested upfront via a separate PayPal invoice before work begins.

PAYMENT & SHIPPING

AS SAFE AND FAST AS COURIERS AND ART ALLOW

Once the commission has been discussed in detail and you’re ready to confirm, I will send you a final quote in PDF format for review.

For projects scheduled in advance (I am usually booked 1-2 months ahead), I require a non-refundable deposit of minimum €100 to secure the commission slot. This ensures that both parties have reached an agreement.
Once I begin the work, a 50% upfront payment is required, depending on the project’s size, with the remaining balance due upon completion. For large and/or long-term projects, I typically offer installment payment options. I accept payments via PayPal, Wise, or bank transfer.

Communication is key, and I will keep you updated with pictures and details about the commission’s progress.

Once the project is completed and you’re satisfied with the results, we can arrange shipping, which will be calculated based on your location and the parcel’s size. Please note that all shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.

I take great care in packing and shipping models. However, in the unlikely event of minor damage due to postal handling or other unforeseen circumstances, I am happy to repair the miniature for free if you send it back to me.

If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to discuss potential collaborations.
