In reply to your answer about the demand for painting services, I
cant tell you how much there of a demand for a low cost, painting
service. I'm sixteen years old, and I have painted mini's for people on
the usenet, and people around my local area. I used to be fairly slow,
but now I'm getting to be the local Wazza freak (All you Ork players
should know that word) at painting mini's. I find that the only thing
that seperates my best minatures and other peoples is not neatness, for
that is a skill that almost anyone can master. It's more of the advanced
techniques such as using inks, shading, highlights, also, good color and
scheme's can even help a bad mini.
BTW: I heard about that GameCamp that GW and WOTC is putting on, what a
show! I bet there will be a bunch of Ten year olds from wealthy families
that cant paint or play worth a damn, arguing about their SM commanders
having lightning clans, termie armour, pfields, and medipacks not being
protected enough! GW and WOTC better not merge someday, (Warhammer
40,000 Magic, Edition #5 comming soon to a local retailer near you!)
