Hello, my name is Ryan Lancaster. I've been involved in tabletop gaming since 2000, and
have been painting since day one. I've decided to start taking on commission work. My
service is not quite the same as most others out there. I'm not here to paint Golden Demon
quality pieces. My skills are best used for those who either don't have the skill or resources
to get their army painted to a tabletop standard. Some people don't have time, others
don't have the supplies, some just may not want to sit and paint for hours on end but still
have a nice looking army to play with.

As such my pricing is fairly inexpensive when compared to other commission studios.

For single infantry models on 20mm or 25mm bases the pricing is as follows:

Tier 1 $3ea and includes priming, base colors and shade. Models will usually have around 5 colors and will
be shaded accordingly with either dark sepia or a thin black wash depending on preference.
Here is an example of a tier 1 paint job:





Tier 2 $4.5ea and includes priming, base colors, shading, highlighting and weathering.
Here is an example of a tier 2 paint job:




for medium sized models such as ogres and other 40mm based minis or cavalry the pricing is:
Tier 1 $7
Tier 2 $10

For larger models such as dreadnoughts, land speeders etc. the pricing is:
Tier 1 $10
Tier 2 $15

I am willing to do single models to a higher detail standard than tier 2. Detailing would include eyes, teeth etc. Contact me for an estimate on
any single models you might want to have detailed such as commanders, generals and what have you.

I am willing to give discounts for entire armies. I can also offer basic basing(GW style) at a cost of $.25 for small infantry, $.50 for medium models
and $.75 for larger models.

Please make sure models are cleaned and assembled properly as this is a service I don't currently offer. I can reglue a piece here or there that may have
come apart in shipping and clean a mold line that may have been forgotten, but if the models are fresh off the sprue then pricing will change to
reflect the time spent filing away.

In keeping with assembly, any models that may need pinning should be done before sending the models out to me. Basically the models need to look
good naked, so that they will look good when they are painted .

I use paypal only for payment as it protects both parties. 4% will be added to the total cost to compensate for paypals fees. I recommend adding
tracking to your package when you send it so that you have confirmation of when it arrived. I will add tracking to all models when they ship out.
My fee is 25% before I start painting and the remaining 75% before I ship out the completed models. I will take pics before and after of the models
for proof of their condition when I received them and when I shipped them back to you.

If you have any questions please contact me via PM or email me at drummerpunk7 on hotmail.
