I know roughly how long it would take me to paint a 25mm Napoleonic figure, but have no idea how long it would take to paint up the average GW figure or how much to charge, but I'm willing to give everything a go!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-83179712411187947342012-09-23T07:48:28.561+01:002012-09-23T07:48:28.561+01:00Thanks Juan.Thanks Juan.Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-85008863157012901202012-09-23T07:48:12.074+01:002012-09-23T07:48:12.074+01:00That's the bane of every wargamer, if I had th...That's the bane of every wargamer, if I had the money I'd get some other bugger to paint my figures, that's for sure!!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-34924875692857823092012-09-23T07:45:56.931+01:002012-09-23T07:45:56.931+01:00Great advice Phil thanksGreat advice Phil thanksRay Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-16238815510034912482012-09-23T07:44:47.530+01:002012-09-23T07:44:47.530+01:00Thanks Dave, Your totally right, you only need 2 o...Thanks Dave, Your totally right, you only need 2 or 3 regulars to keep the ball moving.Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-5497194865680409422012-09-23T07:43:26.523+01:002012-09-23T07:43:26.523+01:00Cheers Mad Padre lol!

It's why I gave you and your "other" a shout out on my blog this past week. Agree with Phil though.. set a target for how much you want to make per hour. If you can't make that then the commission is not worth it, or the whole ordeal is not worth it. Oh and get ready to paint things you don't feel comfortable doing, if you HAVE to take the work that is. Otherwise stick to what you like, and those clients will find you.

If its taking you longer to prepare and paint the models you'll find that you could be earning just a couple of quid per hour - then its not worth it.<br /><br /><br /><br /> I love the dog video btw.Broedershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218127480258279732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-35057051948815308652012-09-22T10:51:42.756+01:002012-09-22T10:51:42.756+01:00Re the painting service.

Also be clear in terms and conditions - how low it will take etc , and how you will take payment, deposits - paypal etc.. <br /><br />Oh and don't be afraid to charge the price you feel is right. It's your time being burnt it has to be worth it. One or two better paying regular customers may be worth more in the long run that lots of cheap quick turn around stuff<br />DaveDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11995593231170018770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486757399063403760.post-80035574389234415982012-09-22T03:39:45.823+01:002012-09-22T03:39:45.823+01:00I love that video, it always makes me pee my pants...I love that video, it always makes me pee my pants.

It sounds like something you'd find at the back of a cupboard, not a proper place. Have fun at any rate. <br />As for a painting service, if you think you can afford the time cost of doing other people's minis for dosh rather than your own for pleasure. ...
