Can't believe the bid is 100 pounds for this paint job.

Nice going jelmer, tho i think the basing may let them down a bit.
Unless the photo's are just not showing the bases correctly.

You think this is too much or too little? Personally I dont think painting is really valued as much as it should be, even if you look at the other thread where peop say they despise painting
I think those minis should get more
Minis £40
Hour for each mini to paint at min wage... £90
So it should be valued at least at £130, £100 is a bargain tbh... dont forget the assembling... which is brutal
Whats wrong with people!

I agree with Rob here. While it's not an expert degree of painting, it is a lot higher than the average standard.
Personally I think it's crazy when a 16 man team painted by a decent painter goes for less than £150.
But then again, people honestly undervalue the time and skill involved in painting. That's why I decided not to paint for commissions, it works out at about 1/4 of my normal hourly wage. I might as well do overtime instead.
As for the auction, only things wrong with it is it could do with 1 more skeleton and the bases are rather lackluster.

Well, for a new team on commission I would agree. This team is second hand and used though (as most teams on ebay) which drops the price considerably.
I do think 100 pounds is fair as it is painted pretty good (I'v seen it IRL a couple of times).
hmm

And I thought i did a good job on those... the bases were to look like sand and i agree they might not have turned out as i saw it in my head.

Might have been better to paint the base a sandy brown first, and then highlight the sand afterwards.

I think it is a great team... i'm very sorry to have to let it go, but i won't be using it much, and i could use the money very well... i think Zinak did a great job on the painting!
