For $8 per squad, they look fine. Most of you guys work for $8 or more per hour right. You actually think this artist could paint 5 figures to your standards in 1 hour or less. You really need to look at the total value (price/speed/and quality).

For what I paid, it is worth it. That is not a condemnation. It is good quality for the price. Simple as that.

The scouts and standard bearer are mine, and what matters is that i am satisfied. I wanted a table top standard for a good price and that is what i got, not to mention he made something horrid look great and gave it a unique look. highlights i can handle on my own, not to mention if i want my troops to look the same then is better that i do the highlights and sealing. Not to mention that i met two people that are pleasant and friendly.

I am taking the plunge and asking them to do a Human Blood Bowl team for me.

So far, communication and price are good. Models are currently en-route to the painter.

Sweet Porkuslime I haven't seen a blood bowl team Ever, so that will be fun to see painted up!

Nice work on the diorama base!

My son's asking for a Tau army now... if he saves up for it, I'm going to have the models painted by TTG43 since I just don't have the time/energy to paint more on top of my current workload. After I finish my Eldar, I've still got Orks and a Crimson Fist successor chapter to do... some of them might get sent with the Tau!

The Only good thing here is the freehand, years spending nights painting with exesive amouts of caffene has made my hands unstable, no need to improve there

Great idea Gavin Thorne TTG43 (I like the abbreviation btw ) has my tau right now! So you'll get to see some tau pics in a week or two I bet

Hello fellow gammers I thought I would up date this tread with what I have been working on for one of our fellow dakka dakka users. It is a Tau Army I will post pic's of the items on how they looked when I recived them and then I will post the finished items pic's. I also fixed many of the broken parts on a devilfish.

Nicely done.

Wow!! You gave my devilfish new life These big pics look even more impressive!

The firewarrior looks Great too, from what I can see! That's exactly the scheme I wanted. Thank you so, so much

Do you have an "after" picture of the stealth suit, since you posted the "before" one in the condition I sent it to you?

@TTG43:

I like what you did with the Devil Fish. When I look at Dakka's photo gallery, the first thing I look for is 1) did he paint within the lines and are the color changes neat and clean 2) Are the colors solid or is the paint job streaking. That said, I think you did a great job in keeping the colors within their respective boundaries which is especially important for Tau and the paint covers the model well. SO kudos .

I wish that the person who had done my Tau like 8 years ago would have done as nice a job as you just did.

not to mention he fix the guns, because they arrived broken, sealed the mold lines, and corrected the paintjob

I just received my scout , they look better up close....The standard bearer is superb, i cant ask for more. The backpacks have all been fixed and affixed with sturdy poled for the squad standards, the flags are made from terry cloth and seem very sturdy to tugging etc..... Simply awesome meticulous work. the scout and base work look a lot better , the pictures do not do them credit. The flash was cleaned out of all the minis, the paint is not laid on thick, it may be the black undercoat that gives it that pasty look but when in my hands i see no thick paints as stated. I put them at great tabletop quality, very clean colors meticulously painted details.
Send him a tester squad if you do not agree with a customers review. You will be satisfied as the price is super , it can't be beat, and he will work with you side by side on all you want and can make last minute alterations if you like. Is a pleasure to talk to this couple as they both enjoy the hobby and want to make it enjoyable for everyone at a more then fair price. You can also purchase from them and have it painted. They have a nice discount store and have instant access to anything not listed. Just talk to them , they aim to make your experience a great one and you will surely be a repeat customer.

P.S. I do not think i will be highlighting them as they look great as they are. The turn around was about a week, if you add time and shipping maybe 10 days.

I was going to mention about the pictures- I think the single model pictures you're taking might not be doing them justice TTG43. Does your camera have a "macro" mode setting? The pictures that are a little farther out (like of the devilfish) seem to come out so much better! Although the pictures of the gaunts did come out nice (but again it was more than one figure, perhaps slightly zoomed out)

Just a thought about why the pics of the single minis might not be focusing

Excellent work once again

they are good models. Well painted for sure

Hello again and Thank you again for all the positive feedback. One of my loyal customers has seen some of my conversions and has insisted that I post my latest creations that are work in progress not finished byfar. Below you will see photos of my conversions and I will leave title explaining what they are. Again thank you Donald.

Kudos, I really like your conversion work, your painting is solid and more than what you could expect for the price, nice man, keep it up

Nice conversions! Your greenstuff work is great!

And I see you added the pictures of the stealth suits, they look like an awesome unit . I can't wait to see them in person!

You've also done all this very quickly from when I sent it to you, which is an added bonus

liking the conversions but the position of the termi is off

I love the "this is sparta" effect I can't help but feel when I look at the terminator.

The shoulders are not on yet on the termi, that is why it looks off

Really like the GS mustaches and beards. How much do you charge per model for adding facial hair?

I would like to see a trident termi. or maybe a gladius. The beard reminds me of zangif from street fighter.

hello It's me again. Here are some new photos for all to see. Examples of what I am working on.

Awesome Really nice and clean! I am impressed by how you did all of the black lining

Also, for everyone else... this was an incredible deal, truly "affordable" . I wouldn't have been able to have it painted otherwise!

Donald has matched the picture of the crisis suit I sent him perfectly! I'll post pictures of the whole army that I sent Donald when I get it back

Very nicely painted. Also, you have very good free-handing skills. Many people jsut use the transfers with the black and white colors. It's nice to see somone who tries something different, especially when they do it well!


Also, I really like the bases. They're nicely done.

me sa isa likin ill ask permission from my parents first but otherwise you got a customer!

Just thought I'd give this a bump, I'm expecting to have my army back from Donald in a week or so, and I will post pictures of the entire project then

Sorry I have not been availble have family emergency will be back to work on Wednesday May 20th you can still pm me with iformation and I will respond asap Thank you all for you kind consideration and have a great weekend Donald
