Estimate Explainer Page

Estimate

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.
