I am planning to start up a model-making & painting service. To start with, this would be a single project to test the viability and then, if this proves successful, I would begin ramping the service up.
For folks who do not know me, I have been collecting miniatures for various wargames systems since the late 80's, so I have a fair bit of experience! Since my return to 40k about five years ago, I have built up a Chaos Space Marines army, an Eldar army, a heavily-converted Tyranid force and a semi-scratchbuilt Squat army (based on the Imperial Guard codex).
You can find pictures of some if my work here:

What I'm looking for to start with is a single willing individual to be my guinea pig! I'm happy to do any or all of the following tasks:
- Buying the models
- Assembly
- Under-coating
- Painting
- Basing
- Display board
Of course I am looking to do this to make a small additional income to my regular job (I'm an engineer) but as it'll be my first foray into commission work, I'm happy to discuss price and come to an amicable and mutually-acceptable agreement regarding costs.
If it sounds like the sort of thing you would be interested in, please post a comment below and we can begin proceedings!
Thanks for reading,
Graham.
