Another amazing team! Personally I'd lose the car and keep the teams. Thats what the bus is for.

Its almost worth that much just to not have to stick the flaming figs again.

The seller painted a similiar Khemri team before (which i won).
And I can say that he painted it in a very good tabe top standard (for a reasonable price

Its not a bad price, but IMHO thats cheap, to get a quality painter to paint a team up which is pretty much a specialist service. Dont forget assembling the flipping khemri minis!

A full roster will cost approx Â£40-50. Now add in the very nice base with the team which could be approx Â£20 minimum, now that leaves painting time. that leaves approx Â£60-70 for the painting, which works out at around Â£3.50-4.50 per mini. He would need to be churning out a mini an hour to be getting what he deserves! For a painter of mikes calibre he likely puts in a good few hours into a mini, say min 2 hours per mini for a standard job, minimum wage is Â£5/hour and for 16 minis... you get my drift!

When I was selling my flings someone said that it was ludicrously expensive... and it was sitting at about Â£70, the metal cost Â£45

, meaning 17 players that looked decent and better then most is only worth Â£25 extra?

I got a better price in the end! Its just a minor annoyance I have with attitudes to painting prices (in no way am i having a go at anyone here!)

Nice work mike, but i think you will do even better if you get better closeup pics which are clearer and sharper.

You can still sent him a mail and ask him for a teaml. He also painted two Anubis players and Hack Enslash and Ramtut for Â£5 each.

cheers guys!
yep, i'm always up for a quick commission!

he likely puts in a good few hours into a mini, say min 2 hours per mini for a standard job

well, hour and a half ish, but i get where you're coming from

better closeup pics which are clearer and sharper.

i've been looking around for a new camera for a while, with a bit of luck any money i've got left over after the repairs will go towards a new camera. At the mo i've got an Olympus D-395, but, yeah, bigger clearer pics would be cool. Any recommendations?
