I have been away from gaming for a few years now but am considering a new project. I have a large stockpile of 28 mm ACW, mostly infantry, Old Glory, Redoubt, and Dixon figs. Probably around 900 figs total. Is there a reasonable priced painting service in the US now that can handle an order this size? Emphasis on the reasonable price. Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome.

Depends on what your definition of 'reasonable' is.

Try CGR painters, with that many, they may give you a discount rate. cgrpainters.com/?page_id=18

Go overseas. Philgreg and Fernando both do a good job.

Have a look at Fernandos…… they come highly recommended. miniaturelovers.com You will get a deal for that size order I am sure.

That would be my suggestion as well. With postage both ways, you are probably looking at a total painted cost of roughly $3.00 USD per figure.

The Collector standard is a good one to go for, imho, at Fernando Ive got a batch of stuff Im preparing to send off there myself……
