I've lost my two 15mm painting services. I have 15mm ACW Blue Moon and SYW figures Blue Moon, occasional Old Glory.
ACW – Adding to: USA & CSA
SYW – Adding to: Prussian, Russian, Austrian,
Building: British, Hanover, Brunswick, Hessian, French
Future – Reichsarmee,
Good for $300.00 USD to $500.00 USD per month.
Nothing is need immediately. I plan my needs months in advance.
What I will do to the figures before shipping:
1. Deburr and deflash figures
2. Flatten the bottom of the base (sandpaper med-fine grit)
3. Clip off Bayonets
4. I will send the figures sorted by regiment, artillery crew, or group of generic skirmishers. Mounted/dismounted officers will not be specific personalities
5. Other stuff – Hussars, skirmish infantry and converged grenadiers have no flags, I use two flag carriers per infantry regiment.
6. If needed, I can provide uniform info. SPECIAL NOTE: When rider and horse are separate, I prefer to leave the attachment to the painter. What I need from painter:
1. Prime Figures
2. Paint Figures – better than wargame quality
3. Seal figures – Dull Coat/equal quality sealant/fixative
4. No mounting, No Flocking – I will do that
5. No flags to attach – I will do that If interested, please contact me: djcoaltrain AT comcast.net |

Just curious. Who were your last two painting services? |

Change of Command & a friend who can't paint anything anymore. I used to paint a lot but cataracts and a tremor shot the crap out of my painting days. |

I think Bill uses Old Guard, so he might be able to comment. |
