As the title says. They come from Battlefront's GBX72 and GE844. They are wearing winter uniforms so a mix of Field Gray and Winter white camo like the picture on the box is preferable, possible a few splinter pattern tunics or helmets for variety. I have already done much of the flash trimming and sanding mold lines, and primed the figures black using a coat of duplicolor primer. Some figures may need to be hit again very lightly with a bit more primer

Some of the figures weren't up to snuff so BF sent me about 10 replacements. Those are in the box as well, and the painter can use their best judgement as to which casts look best. I don't need any basing done, just gluing them to the appropriate stands for the platoons as described in BF's instructions.

This will be the first time I've ever used a painting service, so I'm looking for help from the board members as to what a fair price would be for a good quality but not showcase level paintjob on 100 15mm figures would run.

I will also be attending HMGS's Fall In convention this year if by some chance one of the painters will be there. If so I could either deliver them in person to save shipping one way, or ship them immediately if they feel they can have the job done by the time the convention rolls around. This is not necessary however.

May I recommend Kevin Hammond of Miscellaneous Miniatures? He completed a very large commission for me, and the outcome was so spectacular, that I gave him a second order. I give him my highest recommendation. He is located in Falls Church, VA.

I'll second TSD101. Kevin does great work and communicates frequently.

I would be very happy to offer my services for painting. Please check out my website for samples of my work and for prices (www.paintmysoldiers.com). I also will be attending Fall-In and would be pleased to meet you there to pick up the Volksgrenadiers.

Thanks,

Kaleb
