Stunning, absolutely stunning.

Looked at the link. A bit confusing on the painting charges. All say "Basic painting only . extra charge for detailed figures" Huh? Needs to be a bit clearer on what is considered "detailed". Showcase quality , super showcase should already be deemed 'detailed". Just saying.

Very nice painting but there was no such thing as purple or blue epaulettes. Line compagnies did not wear epaulettes, only the elite compagnies did. Also light blue pokalems did not exist.

But, again, nice painting!

Is it just me? Maybe, as I would never ask anyone to paint my little gents. But none of these images seem to open and enlarge. I really do want to compare Showcase and the other standards, purely out of curiosity, but cannot open them…maybe I should lie down and try again later.

Bit like the earlier comments. This would not remotely win me over, as presented here. Could well be incredible, but rubbish IT.

Being a painter for hire, I don't enjoy faulting the competition, but here they may need some help. I noticed the same issues with the images, you can't tell what your asking for. The figures comparing painting standards look the same, but different, no real definition of the increase in quality as he colour choices seem to change from example to example.

See the horse, the riders pants and hat change colours. Also a different horse was used. Perhaps Im just nitpicking.

I assume, they are trying to save customers from chewing up data, but larger images would be a big plus. As said above, a link to the larger image when clicked would be nice, and let people decide for themselves.

If you live in Sri Lanka, I say give them a go with a small order and see what happens.

But I am not convinced even now you have found a much better display. The collector standard would worry me and I would not be happy with the white belts as shown. OK, if in thousands on aboard, but that is not "collector". For the super display standard it seems you get a lot more stripes. It may be the photography and lighting, but the chap's arms look more like ARVN Tiger Stripe cammo.

I think they need a clear written description of what each level entails. Eg, basecoat, highlight, wash or such like.

I think if you choose to post something like this, you must be prepared to take the flak. I hope our feedback is viewed constructively, but I think we all agree that the link we are taken to is not sufficient to attract custom. It may not remotely do justice to the end product, but that is a major criticism of any advert, which is what this is.

Thanks for all your comments.

Well done for taking them constructively and not just throwing hissy fit. Good luck with your business.
