All of my customs have been jobs for other people. I own none of my own custom valks. In fact, I own no valks at all. I enjoy working on them and have not been interested in collecting. Although with that GBP coming out I just might need to pick one of those up for myself.
-
Thanks again everyone. I was confident the damage would come out OK, so I did not think twice about hacking into the valk.
-
Thanks. It takes 2 - 3 weeks.

last one... The damage goes through the wing.

Hello again. Here is my latest completed commission job. Another damaged cannon fodder, this one has fast packs though. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

It appears that you are using water soluable oil paints. I have never tried those but I suspect they don't react that same way as normal oil paint. I have had no problems using odorless turpentine. I use Turpenoid or Eco-House, which is a citrus scented turpentine. You may want to buy a tube of regular oil paint.

Ready when you are!

I have no problem in taking these projects on. As for price, I don't want to quote anything yet until I know exactly what is involved. As the Captain gets closer to completion we can work the details out.

I am not buying any of these for myself but would love the chance to work on one. If anyone wants to commission me to work on theirs just let me know.

One more....

OK, if really want to see my first custom. Here it is. I actually have been building models for the last 25 years or so. But this was the first custom toy that I did about 16 months ago. So if you were to compare my very first model to what I do today, I am pretty sure you would see an improvement.

About 2 weeks.

Customs range from $200 on up depending on what you want. For exactly what you see here, $200 each. Including valk or we provide valk? Oh, yes. You must provide the valk, fast packs and decals. I don't like you guys that much to charge just $50- $75 for labor.

I use Gunze Mr. Surfacer 1000 laquer to prime all of my customs. I then use acrylics for the paint and clear coats.

I always clearly explain to my customers that customs should not be overly transformed. If care is taken the paint holds up fairly well.
