Title: Suggestions for a painter please
Post by: Sussex.john on 11 October 2016, 11:21:21 AM
Hello,

I'm starting a new period, which is ECW, and being the world's slowest painter (yes slower than you) would like to get some figures painted to speed up my time to an actual game. I'm thinking about asking someone to paint the ECM Royalist army pack. Do you have any suggestions for a figure painter?

Thanks, John

Yes, I think Womble's got all the names I know of.

I can't paint with the pressure of a commission job (I've tried), so I'd be no good.

I have four of GWs first Space Marine figures bought from Games Workshop in Hammersmith a couple of days after they were released. They're still not even undercoated. Tell me again how slow you are at painting :)

I loathe painting but love the results and can't bear to use figures someone else painted - go figure!

Best of luck finding a painter, there are some amazing ones out there.

L. da Vinci is reputed to be quite good.

Although he has some reputation for not completing commissions.

Yeah, those painter's who do commissions should work to a code of ethics.

I've heard stuff about that L. da Vinci. I wonder what his code is?

No matter how tempting, never lick the paint.

(especially Humbrol enamel. Nobby.)

Bit late for that safety tip inn'it? BTW - the 1972 Floquil (forest green) was quite robust but had no legs.
