Really? How long ago was that? Because it's been years since BTP has offered a good product. Years ago when I first heard about BTP they had major quality issues (poor results, lazy shortcuts like not painting the bottom of vehicles, etc) and a customer service policy that was essentially "
lol we have your money, sucks to be you if you don't like what you get". They've survived entirely on good marketing and an endless supply of new members of the gaming community that haven't yet heard warnings about BTP.
Well, you need to see my previous post where I explain how things used to be for him and my opinion on "tabletop" standard. It was definitely 8 to 10 years ago, though.
Actually, it might've worked best when he was a 1 man operation before he moved to Utah (or where he is in UT, now... I forget where he was previously).!

It changed when Shawn could not pay his painters by the Project and had to pay them by the hour. The standards for painting could be a bit better because BTP could be picky on the end results, it did not cost more money get problem corrected. More incentive for the artist to get it right the first time.
Precisely. That's pretty much the point I was making. Thanks for elaborating. : )
