I don't mind painting, but my skills are terribly inadequate. I barely have time to play a game once every week or two weeks, let alone paint, let alone watch videos on how to paint better.
That being said, I still painted most of my models, but wouldn't think twice about having somebody do them if I had the income to do so.

And if I could afford to have my King's Hand professionally painted, you bet I would. Because with the amount of detail and my limited range of paints/brushes/skills, I could never do the model justice.
Is this a Game of Thrones model? If so do you have a link, my interest is piqued!

Dark Sword miniatures has a huge range of models based on the novels, rather than the series.

They don't look like the TV series charachters, but they are really beautiful models, most of which sculpted by by the incredibly talented Tom Meier (on whose sculpting Ral Partha was built). A touch higher per foot figure than what I usually pay, but really not overpriced consdiering the quality and when compared to GW, Privateer press, etc.

The same reason I'd use professionals to do work like plumbing and electrical and to fix the car.
Some people are better at stuff I choose not to do.
Do I get looked down upon for not knowing car stuff? (I'm male, I'm suppose to know this stuff. Like it's genetically hardwired or something. I don't.)
Yep. Do I care? Not a jot.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Which rather nullifies the point the OP was making. As I presume you had no part on in making any of these objects.
