Pilot Painting Service

lol Love the hasbro. That falcon though is the Deagostini Falcon and its studio scale and in kit form clocks in at 1500 usd ;) Lets just say I was able to pay off two years worth of student loans doing that build and paint and again it was all done via personal check.

Wow that is a piece of art!

I did put some futuristic pilots in mine :Silly:

[AkumaZeto]

Wow, that is outstanding! What do you take for payment?

cash check money order the ols school stuff and everythng I have painted even that falcon was paid this way. I have lost two clients in the last 24hrs because of this and no I will not consider getting paypal to easy to get burned doing this type of work. If it was a sale or purchase of items sure no problem but work like this notta a chance in hades. The clients were lost on this forum and its gotten to the point where I am not even going to offer work at this level anymore. I squeeze this stuff in for my love of this place not the money.

Here is a recent client build. Lets just say this was VERY expensive and took 300 hours of my time.

[AkumaZeto]

I've lost a few sales lately due to me not taking Paypal. Sorry folks its just never gonna happen. Plenty of people here can vouch for me and my services as well as my character!

Thank you Ben for getting the B-17G crew ready for me!! They are just a perfect fit for what I am doing with them. They each have their own character! I appreciate you and your talents!!! Have a great weekend!!! Jerry

[Hardway]

Received the package. Will reply to the correct thread as soon as I am able... Have to play with them first!!! LOL Thanks so much for the help!!

[AkumaZeto]

Thanks mate. There is a actual feedback thread as well.

Ben really did a great job on the two 1/4 scale WWI pilots he painted for me. I’ll post some more pictures once they are fitted into their Dr1 triplanes.

This is the final. I didnt even want to do eyes on these but I put in a iris at least. The kneeling guy is some kind of forking psycho!

The kneeling guy is saying "GET SUM!!!!" 750 grains of bite me coming at you at 550 RPM... LOL Thanks again!

[AkumaZeto]

I wish this company that sold these would offer them in a SLA printer. They would really shine. Thank you for your business. They will look fine in their home and from a few feet away.

[Hardway]

Thank you Ben!!! I know these prints were hard to work with, but they will be fine inside "Dreambaby"... Thanks again for a great job!

I have a 5 man bomber crew here. The resolution is poor and it makes details hard to pick out because of the nature of the surface. Dry brushing will pickup the print lines heavy washes will to. Eyes at this scale always look borked too. They normally will look like google eye sticker thingies. Plus the surface of the eye is not smooth to allow for careful iris work. This 3d sculpt would look pretty damn nice if it was printed on a form 2 but it would also be 15 bucks worth of raw reesin alone.
