selling and taking commissions
Posted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 8:12 pm
If anyone has a painting/weathering job they need done. I am open for awhile
I do have a couple of projects I am currently working on first But I am in a dead zone work wise. My client for art told me not to invoice for anything the next 3 weeks (long yet boring story, sure my landlord will love it). This came down the pipe rather...err TOTALLY unexpected, like one day I was to get $975 paycheck, then was notified that not only was I not getting that but to hold off on expecting or invoicing for the next 3 weeks and that was a week ago. So you can imagine (especially since I had $9 at the time along with summertime electric bills in Texas) That I am in full sell off/accept commission mode. I have a painting that Popeye needs done which I am going to try and squeeze in here over the next 3 weeks in-between paying gigs (if I get any) and a couple of customs that I am finishing up. one is just to finish painting face of a crew fig and add radio wire to headset for a 1:16 jagdpather the other is a zimm + paint job on panther 1:32)
So if anyone wants to have one of those kits done I will have a bunch of free time here for a good while. That is why my treasured display case is one sale in the BST forum (and CL and myspace) and I will be adding it to Ebay tomorrow. I do have decals aplenty and paint (well currently anyway) to do the job for a flat fee without any surprises other than paying to ship it back when I am done (what 5.... bucks?) also have pigments washes ect. I guess the only area I am hurting filters as I managed to spill 2 of the most commonly used MIG filter bottles in the bunch (ouch$$$) but filters are not the most necessary step in the modeling process. Sometimes I think they darked my repaints too much anyway
I am working on a side project right now, a 21stC stug IV with waffle pattern zimm added and am trying to gage the desire for it before I spend much more time on it instead of something that could be making the money. Anyone interested in that? Also a Stug IV with partial shurzen (front) and hasty green camo (no zimm)
