Hello, I was wondering what painting services in the US were charging to paint 15mm figures. The subject would be Seven Years Wars Prussians (infantry and cavalry). I would want the quality to be a step above wargame standard. If you are a painting service looking for work, please feel free to post your link. Thanks for the help Bryan

Typically it's $1 USD-$2 per figure, based and flocked. But it's been a while since I did 15mm figures for money.

For good quality work on those kinds of uniforms I'd expect to pay more in the $2 USD-3 range…

I charge $1 USD for that quality, $1.50 USD if its more complex like Waffen SS. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss more. supremegrognard@gmail.com Also, still working on the new webpage, but here is a photobucket with some of my work. link

I normally charge about $2 USD each for that type of 15mm infantry and $4 USD each for Cav. I have done Napoleonics before which are pretty close. Steve hoardpainting.com

What about 28mm figures? A couple of us are thinking we need to start using a painting service :) Ancients Romans Celts Germans Normans, etc… WW2 Germans (Fallshirmjager)

Hey Von Ted, I generally charge between $3 USD-$5 for 28mm. Feel free to contact me at supremegrognard@gmail.com if you'd like more information.

To general btsherman--I charge $2 USD for 18th/19th century foot, and 4-5 for cavalry. I have not painted figures of that type, but have painted plenty of 15's. @Von Tedd: I paint 25's at $4 USD-$6 each---email me at NathanielRion(at)gmail(dot)com for more info if you're interested. I have some recent 28mm paint jobs---Saga Vikings---which I haven't photographed yet, but can so you can have an idea of my painting.
