sorry man, but I don't quite understand what you're offering.

By "employ" do you mean you get alot of your minis painted by services or that you are a service with several painters? Either way, I'm interested.

I'd very much like to see examples of similar items painted by different studios in a side-by-side...without putting up the cash myself.

Where do I find your blog?

My .02 - It's always better to seek out a lot of painters, pick a couple you like and email them rather than post an ad. As far as I can tell MPP and BK are the only two that actively check and post in the Painting wanted forum.

I will be watching this, it is interesting.

Well, from personal experience I get at least 5-6 different companies/people responding to my posts. I usually have a good range to pick from. I also usually have to edit my post saying I found a service to stop the PMs

I met a guy on here a year or so ago who was wanting to start up his own painting service, I ended up giving him so much work, I am his only client.

He does such a good job at such a good price that I try to keep him busy. He is also doing my Tau.

I will post pictures later on the blog and do a post on him.

So it's basically a site to help gamers find a mini painter that is good for them. With examples and critiques. You seem to be on your way to becoming the first miniature painting critic.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.
