I have used painting services based in Sri Lanka and Ukraine for the past several years. But I just had to pay tariffs on my most recent order to Sri Lanka, even though I already owned the figures I sent them. I would like to find a US based painting service that is reasonable. I looked at the list of painters that TMP has, but several of them were no longer active and many of those that seemed to be active did not have a website, only an email address. Can anyone recommend a good, reliable and reasonable painting service here in the US, preferably one with a website so I can see examples of their painting? I have 15mm, 20mm, and 28mm historical figures I would like to get painted. TIA. |

I use CDR. They do not have a web site but they have an ebay shop. Multiple painters. Good work, reasonable prices. Drop a line to levy4575 at bellsouth dot net |

I wondered if the tariff situation would effect Ferdando and Old Guard. This in spite of the numerous posts to the contrary. Sorry you had to experience this first hand, but thanks for taking one for the team and sharing. Madcam. |

Can you let us know who you used and were charged the tariff on the return of the minis? There are several in Sri Lanka. 2 are rather large. I'm asking because I'm considering send a decent sized order and would like to know of who I'm considering using sent you the package that was taxed. Thanks |

Extra Crispy-I emailed levy4575 at the email address you gave me. It was returned as undeliverable. Could you please double check the email and let me if is correct? I also can't locate them on ebay. Can you provide a link? Thank you. |

The two big painters that I know of on Sri Lanka are Fernando and Philgreg. I suggest you contact them directly with any questions about tariffs to the US. |

We have not painted any figures recently to you.We are surprised with your comments. we know how to send figures to US without any duty, after 28th Aug.2025, we have sent more than 30 shipments to US, noone has complained that they had to pay duty for their shipments. |
