Subject: painting services?
Anyone have any experience with painting services? I just realized that I am accumulating miniatures at a much faster rate than I paint them (you have to, the nifty ones go away) and am considering buying a couple of platoons for SG and have someone else paint them. I would need someone that can do camo. TIA

The only paint-for-hire I've done through the mail was through Bear Johnson, and that was partially for trade. I think he does good work, but he IS a big GW fan. He's closing his only fig trade shop, but I think he's still painting. http://www.globaldominationsystem.net/MPG/ Altogether an expensive prospect, I've been recently trying a new tactic: free use of figs for as long as someone wants, but they have to return them to me when they tire of the army. Given the way I've picked who forces pretty darn cheap the way some folks cycle through them, I thought it'd be a winner, but no joy. ;->= On another note, there's a certain outrider in Denver I've been waiting over to 8 yrs on his finishing a deal. Word to the wise: get references on time as well as quality.

It's been a while since anyone paraphrased R&B (Rocky and Bullwinkle, not Rhythm and Blues) to me! If I ever play in one of your scenarios remind me to beware of a short fat little man in black traveling with a tall thin woman!
