Frequently asked questions about
miniature painting commission

Do you take miniature 
painting commissions?

Yes, we always accept painting commissions. 
You can send us a message using our contact form or reach out to us through our social media channels.

What information should 
I include in a quote?

Please include the following details:

The army or model you want us to paint.

Your color preferences or any custom elements/finishing you have in mind.

The level of painting you are interested in. If you’re unsure, don’t worry, we’ll help you decide!

Your location and the destination country for shipping. This helps us estimate the shipping cost.

How does the 
order process work?

Once you send an inquiry and finalize the details with us, we will provide a detailed quote including painting and shipping costs.  After you accept the quote, you’ll need to pay 30% of the order value as a down payment. We will then proceed with the painting.  Before shipping, you’ll pay the remaining balance, and we will pack and ship your order.

Do you provide WIP (Work 
in Progress) pictures?

We don’t provide WIP pictures as we aim for a “wow” effect with fully completed models. However, we will keep you informed about the status of your commission.

What is the timeframe for completing my order?

The time required to complete your order depends on the quantity and complexity of the models. Typically, smaller projects (up to 20 models) take around 2-4 weeks, while larger armies may take 8+ weeks.

Can I change my order after paying the deposit?

It depends on the stage of painting. We always strive to accommodate your expectations, so feel free to ask if changes are possible. We will do our best to make adjustments if feasible.

Can you match an existing 
paint scheme?

Yes, we can paint your models to match an existing army. We understand the importance of a cohesive collection.

Can you order 
the models for me?

Absolutely! We can order the models directly to our studio, saving you time and shipping costs. In many cases, we can also offer you a discount on your miniatures.

Can I choose to paint only
part of a selected set?

Usually, yes. If you want only some of the models or a specific army from a set painted, there should be no problem. However, availability may sometimes be an issue, but we will inform you and find the best solution together.

Do you also paint 
collectible miniatures?

Yes! Our artists enjoy painting custom models and collectible miniatures. 
Share your vision with us, and we will bring it to life.

Do you do miniature 
conversions?

Yes, we love creating customized miniatures. Our creative team is ready to take on any challenge to modify your minis to your liking.

Can I send you the models 
I already own?

Absolutely! You can send us your boxed, framed, bare, or even primed models. 
We typically do not work with semi-painted miniatures or strip old paint (except for metal models), 
but feel free to contact us, and we’ll figure something out.

What are the prices for your painting services?

Prices depend on factors such as the type and size of the models, the chosen painting level, finishing details 
(e.g., bases), and any modifications or custom solutions. Basic pricing information can be found here, 
but we provide final quotes individually after receiving an inquiry.

What payment methods 
do you accept?

We accept PayPal, international bank transfers in Euro, USD, GBP, Wise, and Revolut. Typically, we require a 30% pre-payment at the start of the commission, 
with the remaining balance due before shipping the finished models.

Do you ship models 
worldwide?

Yes, we ship models worldwide using UPS/FedEx couriers and postal services. 
All shipments are properly secured and insured.

Where are you located?

We are based in Poland (EU). However, our studio works with collectors from all over Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia.
