Yes that's right, on top of the bazillion orks iv got to paint, im also starting a painting service, although its only to people in the UK
Its a cheap one on blog spot, but its better then the "Finally, a painting service that's affordable" or whatever it was.
So if you've got any questions, then post 'em
Oh and a link:

A couple of comments -- spell and grammar check your blog. It's just a basic part of maintaining a professional presence. Post pics of your standard quality that a person can expect to get for each of the prices listed. Lastly, get rid of the comment about being 13 ... it can only hurt your business. For what it's worth, if you turn out the expected quality and are professional in your conduct, I don't care who you are, but knowing that you're 13 up front will give people a reason not to give you a second look.

Looking at your Orks in your Gallery (You really should upload pictures to your website to make things easier for your service) look like they have good potential, however your photography skills need work. They are either washed out, blurred or too dark.
Good Luck.
Did you ever finish the titan?

Some humble tips;
Spell check
Make your grammar more professional; IE
"Hello, your obviously looking at this site, and at my first post, its always hard to think up a good first post, its like a first impression, so what im here for is to make a good painting service, for all of those who don't have the time, of don't think they have the skills, and if you come here to get your models painted, i assure you, the deals here are not bad at all, so contact me if you want to get me to paint a model or 10 for you, i know quite a few methods, for example, blending, a easy method to me, Ive been playing and painting since 2003, i do prime, black most of the time, i do highlight and i will try my best to make a centerpiece model, or a squad, or a tank, i can do that, just look at the rates on the side, and email me at"
...is one long run-on with multiple commas. Plus, and don't take this the wrong way, it appears rushed and spontaneous. Spend more time to break it up into paragraphs that contain a single thought;
"Greetings, Here at Paint Pot we offer quality commission painting at low prices for the gamers whom lack the time, ability or motivation to complete their armies. blah blah blah...."
"At Paint Pot, you are getting over 6 years of painting experience that utilize techniques such as washing, blending, drybrushing, blah blah blah"
"You can find a basic guideline containing our prices to your right and if you have a unique commission you would like a quote on, feel free to email me at blah blah blah"
And build a lightbox;

Just some humble tips that, imo, will add a great deal of gravitas to your site. Good luck!
