Market Comparison

There are many exquisite miniature painters offering to paint one or two of your miniatures to a high level of detail. I am offering a bulk batch service - simple but effective techniques to get miniatures ready for the table.

I am not a bargain price option. I am not hunting for mountains of low wage work. My clients will want a reasonable product for a real fee. One of my principles is that I will be charging my regular job full time rate for my miniatures painting, plus materials and business expenses.

One of the great things about miniatures painting is that with time, and practice, you can do it! The guiding principle behind my business: You don't want to, and you are willing to pay me to do it for you.

Estimate Explainer Page

When you book a job, you will need to outline how many figures you want painted, to what level, and at what speed. From this, I will then outline the number of passes, and the cost each pass.

amount - number and type of figures
level - utterly basic, tabletop standard, advanced
speed - sprint, fast, slow, or precise


From here, you will receive a list of the passes required, and the cost of each pass, and an estimate of the total cost and delivery time. Any significant alteration to this estimate will be discussed as it happens.

passes - time estimate provided
cost of passes - in $AUD based of $35 an hour
estimated total cost - in $AUD


-Free Progress Quick Update Photos-
I use photographs of each pass to motivate me when painting, and these photographs can be sent to the customer as progress shots.

I reserve the right to keep a final photograph of the finished product for advertising purposes.
