So I've been getting nagged a lot of late to paint some stuff for other people.
Any of you who have had painted models in public before will probably know how this works...
Some guy (or girl) sees your models and asks you how much would it cost for you to paint their entire army.
The initial reply usually confuses them and you have to explain how long it takes, how you'll need time off work to do it in this lifetime and therefore you're charging at least how much you earn in your day job just to stay afloat.
Most often that will chase off most people and encourage them to try painting for themselves. Besides, if I paint a model for someone, it'll stand out like a sore thumb as the style will be completely different. Even people who I have sat down and taught have developed their own style under my tutelage.
However, I have decided I will cave in just a little bit and offer my services for a single model commission to be completed within the space of a week.
No reason to restrict it to people in my area though once they find out I may well have an application or 2 right away.
So if any of you out there want me to paint a miniature for you then send me a note on DA and we can talk prices.
Chances are people here live overseas so I will most likely purchase the model locally, prep and paint it then send it off.
I may be convinced to extent my offer to a small squad/unit, but it's something that I would want to discuss on a case by case basis.
If you like my painting and want me to do some for you, feel free to hit me up about it.
This time I won't bite any heads off. Promise

You'll have to try harder than that!
It's been a long time...
I got lazy and have not uploaded any images in ages.
Still been here but watching instead of participating. Sometimes it's nice to sit back and enjoy the ride...
Currently doing a big upload of all the stuff I've finished since my last commission.
Also working on a new painting style for the Legion of Everblight army that I am planning on playing for the 2013 tournament season.
Games Workshop Presents: Douchebaggery 101.
Games Workshop has dropped a bomb.
The bomb in question isn't anything awesome like a Deathstrike Missile or Cyclonic Exterminatus warhead, but rather the new 'terms of service' for it's resellers in the UK.
Most notable victims of this particular bomb are Wayland Games and Maelstrom Games both are massive online stores that serve a huge portion of the globe.
They have managed to get so many loyal customers by supplying the goods we want and supplying them at reasonable prices.
As a comparison, I scored a Space Marine Attack Bike via Wayland games for £12.40 which translates to NZ$25.89

Police Schenanegins...
Seems the fuzz here in NZ are now getting away with murder. Literally! http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10723708
To break it down:
Cop leaves a party in a patrol car (WTF the 1st) while leaving people see him using his cell phone while driving. (Illegal in NZ)
Short time later the cop receives a text message, 23 seconds later he hits & kills a 16 year old pedestrian and injures his brother.
The Officer in question faces no charges whatsoever and is still on the force.
Worst of all, this is just the latest in a long line of Police related incidents.

Astrology: Fun and stupidity.
So... Hands up who saw this little gem?
To summarise, someone ran a news article without doing their homework...
They claimed that due to changes in how Earth revolves around the sun there was now a 13th star sign to be added and dates of existing star signs will shift.
Mass panic ensued throughout various social networking systems and the true scope of our species stupidity showed it's face once more.
No one who reads/watches the news seems to have clicked that 'Journalistic Integrity' doesn't really exist any more and you need to check the sources of EVERY bit of information you're given to screen it's accuracy. You know... to avoid loo

Good luck with the commisions; a single model would most certainly be more achievable than an entire army and probably more beneficial for you cash wise in the end (hopefully).
