Guild of Harmony (a miniatures painting site)

Sebastian's prices

Prices are in Australian dollars.

The figurines hobby is not about standardisation: every job is different, and presents various challenges and possibilities. Therefore, I prefer to negotiate prices with a client on a case-by-case basis, depending on the work involved based on complexity, size, style etc. of the miniature. As a rough guide to give you an idea of what to expect, the painting and basing of a standard 32mm miniature (single mini) will cost around AUD$450-500 (roughly AUD$12-14 per hour). Sculpting a figure is more difficult and time-consuming, and therefore requires a higher fee: around AUD$600 to sculpt a standard 32mm figure. In both cases, simpler figurines may cost less, depending on the time taken to complete, whereas for complex or large miniatures the cost will increase.

For this price, I will paint or sculpt a figure to my highest level. I never work below my level for commissions; working to a high level is what I enjoy, and the only sort of work I do. If you are interested in having me do some work for you, just email me at sebastian.wwa@gmail.com, and we can discuss the job and negotiate a fair price. Any questions or queries are welcome - again, please just send me an email and I will be happy to talk about it.

Depending on the size of the project, and whether or not I have worked for a client previously, I may require a deposit before work begins.

Goods, assembly, materials

If you are supplying the miniature, please make sure all parts are: free from miscasts; complete; not broken. If we are to supply the miniature, the purchase cost is not included in the pricing schemes listed below.

If you send us an assembled miniature, please make sure the mould lines are removed and all parts are pinned (preferably left separate). If we are to assemble the parts, we will make sure: the mould lines are removed; all parts are pinned (where possible); gaps are filled. We have 0.5mm pins to do even the smallest parts.

Paints, varnishes, regular basing material and other accessories used are factored into the pricing below. Extra large bases or display bases will cost extra. We use Testor's Dullcote or equivalent to seal finished products if desired.

Prices

Prices include the painting time, cleaning/assembly time (if required), materials used (paints, varnish, basing stuff etc.). The prices listed here do not include the cost of the miniature/components/parts (if we supply) required, or shipping/postage.

For overseas orders, we will send miniatures through Australia Post via 'Air Mail', to all countries. International registered post is available, and recommended. If you want postage insurance for your miniature, the other option available is to receive your parcel via an international courier service, which does offer insurance and also offers much faster delivery time, with postage tracking and various other servies. However, there are extra costs involved with this service.
