Well fellas, you guys have all been so nice in your kind words about my face paints that I have added that as a figure service in my own website. I am showing it here as a Trader's Alley topic as you guys who don't paint are certainly welcome to it as well. Probably for lower fees and/or trades etc. to you guys. Here is a pic I have on my site (without any pricing info) that is more or less a set of my repaints and the original heads to compare to. Now, you can see better where I start and where I get to, rather than just seeing the finished guys in the Finished Projects area. Anyway, gimme a holler and if I can paint for you, I will. Or, as talented as you guys all are, I can at least share my recipes and techniques better in How-To. You're all too good yourselves to actually need this from me. Seriously! You all need to know that too! Just letting you know I started it for the general public, and I wanted to thank you all for giving me the idea. Enjoy the pics anyway. (ignore the advert aspects...)  |

Ya me too big time, I will not even try painting the 12" West I'm doing since this service is available. Thanks Les for offering the members here a bit of a deal on your services, that is very generouse of you. That Lagosi is remarkable! dude. The eyebrowes alone are way cool.  Will |

What a stunning difference. Look at that Lugosi head- it has come alive! How did Sideshow miss that bottom lip?
Once word gets out about your service, I have a feeling you are gonna be swamped.

Thanks guys. I hope it pans out. Maybe I'll get a few extra projects this way, to add some extra spending $$$ to my plate so I can get some of YOUR great work! ;D

That really neat , & kind of you Les. A question came up last night in chat, Just kinda wondering if you would offer the head painting service for the 8" maker as well. May be for some future project.

Heads are heads dude. I admit that I work12"ers now due to my ever failing vision...it's called aging I think...but I can still do some 8" heads. I just don't want promise to do too many.
The smaller they get the harder it is for me to get eye details right etc. It's why I don't do the smaller 6" figures like Cas and some of the other guys do anymore. Used to in spades. (I need to post my Viking Daughters vs the Evil Bitches set here sometime. I can't even think of doing that scale anymore, MacFarlane size etc. It'd be worth a few laughs at any rate).
But, I'd be honored to do a few 8" scale heads for you guys that want them. Just let me know which ones and we can work that out in a PM.
Thanks Jason.

This offer is only directed to those who desire it... I respect you guys too much to assume anything in this offer so no inferences intended about anyone's work...
Just take it for what it's worth, and if it applies to your needs. ;D
I just added a reduced $25 (US) flat rate for all 12" scale repaints until January. My normal rate online is $40, so I just thought you fellas would want to know that. And for you guys, $20. Or, if anyone has a nice First Appearance Batman figure, or a Kingdom Come Batman figure, I'd do two or more in trade!
I am thinking for you 9" fellas, maybe $15??? Or trades. I am not so sharp the smaller you get, but I would give it a shot.
Send me your heads boys! Now would be a good time!
Les
