Having trouble painting/modeling your wargaming models or scenery? or just don't have the time with your busy schedule? Look no further.

At BATTLEGROUNDS WARGAMING with over 10 years of miniature painting experience we provide fast & affordable custom painting and modeling services for all your Wargaming miniatures. We also carry a wide variety of brand new and pre painted miniatures/terrain and accessories.

Magnets
We use small earth magnets in all my models making all weapons and arms removable or changeable to give you the maximum flexibility with the use of your model.

*In the pictures both the Wraithlord and the tank have magnets making all the Wraithlords Weapons Changeable, and giving the Manticore the ability to also convert into the Deathstrike. Eliminating the reason to need to buy another unless you want to have two. All magnets are very tiny yet very strong but are all hidden away from sight so it doesn't ruin the details of your model.

Airbrushing
We use airbrushing techniques to create patterns and designs that can"t be created with a brush, and creating the smoothest finish possible to the finished model.

Pre-shading
The process of base coating and then highlighting with white before you base colour, creating amazing depth even before post base colour highlighting. You can achieve this properly using an airbrush.

*Tank pictures have had pre-shading done to it.

Modeling Putty
We like to use modeling putty to create my very own cosmetic weapon mods and various other totally unique mods to each and every model I work on, ensuring that everything I paint is unique and set apart from every other of its kind.

*Current pictures don't have any putty work done to them

Washes

We use washes on almost all my models to bring out deep rich colours and shades, but all deep recesses and cracks intended on being black are hand painted with a needle to ensure maximum quality.

How Do I Get a Quote?
Send us a list of what you would like painted. The easiest and best way to do this is to email me. Send me as much detail as you can, remember the more detail you include the better we can match what you want. Or you can always leave it up to our expert judgment! It's your choice. We will reply with an email outlining all costs clearly so you can alter, amend, or eliminate items to suit you. When you’re happy with your quote you give us the OK and we'll get started.

What information should I include?
1. Your Name - It's always nice to know who we're dealing with

2. A description of what you want, standard, colour, basing, symbols etc. - Remember to include whether you just require the models painting, or whether you would like us to build, convert, based etc.

3. A detailed model list - So we know exactly what models you want, thus allowing us to provide you with an accurate price, so there are no surprises later.

How Much Will It Cost?
Honestly we can't tell you yet. Until we know exactly what you want there is no way to set a fair price. So if you are interested don't hesitate to get in touch via e-mail, quotes are free after all.

Optional Extras:
1. Assembly - You can either assemble the models yourself or we can do it for you. Please make sure you are satisfied with them before you send them to us as we are happy to do some minor touch ups but if the army is in very poor condition then we may need apply a charge for the additional work. If you do want to leave all the hard work to us then there will be an additional charge for this which will be discussed with you in the initial process.

2. Magnet Assembly - You can also have us assemble your models (weapons, arms and possible more if needed) for you using strong and very small earth magnets. This allows you to have one model that has multiple weapon options or even one box set that can be turned into different units or change weapons. (EG. Wraithlord assembled to change weapons & the Manticore assembled to convert to the deathstrike.) *as shown in picture

3. Custom Basing - You can have us custom design a base to your specification for any possible terrain style (Jungle, Snow, Lava, Urban, etc..) you can think of even some you can't, or you can have us try our best to match any current bases you may have. If you are buying the model off us then supplying us with the best possible pictures you can will help us to recreate it for you or you can send base to us so that we can exactly match you current basing theme 100%. All customer paint colours and colour mixes are saved in a database to ensure that you models are consistent every time you visit.

4. Conversions - If you want a unique model or army that stands apart, then we have talented people more than able to achieve this on your behalf. Typically most clients will set a budget, depending on the size of the project and we will work with them to achieve this.

5. Movement Trays - Most armies require movement trays, if you wish to have some made to match your army then please let us know exactly what size you require in a simple "width (ie number of models in front rank) x depth (ie number of ranks) format.

6. Matching Existing Work - We are often asked if we can match or duplicate work completed by other painters. We can match colour schemes. We cannot guarantee that it will turn out exactly the same but will guarantee an excellent job. If you are worried about matching as closely as possible, you should send a sample - even if it's one we've painted!

Purchasing the Models
The next step is to purchase the models, at which point you have two options.

1. Buy your own models
2. Have us buy the models

If you buy your own models you will be responsible for the costs of shipping them to us and we accept models shipped directly from a retailer. You will receive an e-mail confirming receipt as soon as they arrive. If you would like us to buy the models for you, we can do this. Just send us an email of what you want and the finished product will miraculously appear at your doorstep!

Payment
We always require a minimum deposit of 50% of the total cost in advance, plus the cost of the models if we are purchasing them for you. Shipping is included in your final quote. This guarantees to both parties that a commitment has been made and the project will proceed as planned. We accept payment by; Paypal, Bank Transfer, Cheque or Cash. You will receive email confirmation on receipt of payment and the whole cost must be settled before models are shipped.

Shipping
We will provide you with a shipping address once your project is agreed. It is your responsibility to ensure the models are shipped safely and securely so please put small parts into larger envelopes/containers/baggies so that they are not lost. Battlegrounds Wargaming cannot be held responsible for any damage done during shipping. We strive to make sure the models are packed securely and arrive undamaged. If you send your models in an army transport, we will send them back in the army transport.

Turnaround
You can expect your project to be completed in one to 4 weeks although large projects may take longer. You will be made aware of an estimated completion date when we start. If you have a deadline or need your models in time for a tournament we will be glad to accommodate you, if possible, to the best of our ability, but please let us know beforehand!

Project Done!
When a project is complete, we will take photos and send them to you for your approval. At this point you can request minor alterations or speak to us with any concerns. If the work meets your initial specifications but you request major changes this may incur further costs. In your final Paypal payment, please send instructions regarding shipping back to you. Anything not in the notes of the final Paypal payment might be overlooked. If models are not paid for within thirty days of completion without explanation, the models will become the property of Battlegrounds Wargaming and we will find another buyer for them to offset costs.

For price quotes and questions please contact me through our website, email or by Phone (647-712-1447) Thanks

*All customer paint colours and colour mixes are saved in a database to ensure that you models are consistent every time you visit.

Yes you... Here is a little bit of advice; the title of the thread shouldn't be in all caps. It is the Internet equivilant of yelling, it looks unprofessional and lame. Second, all the oversized and random color text makes it look like a Geocities site from the late 90's... Just no. Third, and most importantly, you want to sell yourself as a serious commission painter, there are three things you need to remember; photos, photos, and more photos. They need to be well lit, in focus, all with a nice background to top it off.

Don't take all that personally. I am not being mean spirited, just honest. It takes a lot of cajones to put yourself out there and I commend you for it, so good luck!

Oh... dear...

You can probably look forward to a C&D for trademark infringement very very soon. There's a reason games-workshop.ca was available.

Also, that site is horrible. Stop trying to be flash and just show the damn work in a decent gallery already. Can't see it well enough to make any judgement of it. Many of the high end commission guys simply use Google Blogger, or a Facebook page.

Generally you'll want to show 'thumbnails' at about 256 pixels wide, and a decent full shot at around 1024 pixels wide.

Edit: 'If you're not happy, we'll give half your money back, honest' is not a good sales pitch either.

Insulting people in the community you are trying to solicit business from is not generally effective. There are a lot of painters for hire here. Most of them are polite. If I have to chose between someone that insults people giving them constructive criticism, and one who thanks people for it, guess which business model I'm going to give my money too. (hint: it's not yours). Every single one of the points made to you on this thread are valid. Take them to heart, and make more money.... Or take offence to them and ignore them, and lose business. The choice is yours. I hope for your sake, your ego stays out of the way in the future.

Ok---let's move on from this point forward. If you are not happy with the services offered, best just to skip the thread and enjoy all the other Dakka there is.

Likewise, if you feel someone has stepped over the line in a post, best just to use the alert Mod option rather than responding in kind. Thanks.
