Commissions · In-house studio

Your models. Our bench.

Every commission is painted by us, start to finish, in our own studio in Portugal. No outsourcing, no assembly line. Pick a standard, send us your list, and we'll tell you honestly what it takes.

Standards

Three standards. No grey areas.

Each tier is a defined level of finish, not a vague promise. You know exactly what lands on your table.

Battle Ready

Clean, solid and built for the table.

Starting at €20 per model
  • Prepped, primed and base-coated with a clean scheme
  • Wash and drybrush to pull out the detail
  • Textured, painted bases
  • Matte varnish to survive real games

Best for: full armies and units you want playing this season.

Most requested
Parade Ready

The army that turns heads across the table.

Starting at €40 per model
  • Everything in Battle Ready
  • Layered highlights and edge work on every model
  • Painted eyes, lenses and gems
  • Decals or simple freehand where it fits
  • Detailed bases with tufts and weathering

Best for: showpiece armies, centrepiece units and characters.

Display Quality

One model, treated like a painting.

Starting at €200 per model
  • Smooth blending and controlled light
  • Object source lighting, freehand and texture work on request
  • Custom scenic base or plinth
  • Macro photo set of the finished piece
  • Progress updates as the layers go on

Best for: display pieces, gifts and competition entries.

Final price depends on model size, kit condition and conversions. We quote every project before any paint touches plastic.

The test model rule

One model first. Always.

Before we start any army project, we paint one test model from your list at the tier you picked. You see it, you approve it or ask for changes, and only then do we paint the rest. It protects your colours, your money and our time. No exceptions, even for repeat clients.

How it works

From list to shelf in four steps.

Request

Send your model list, tier and timeframe through the form below.

Quote

We reply with a fixed quote, the shipping cost and a realistic schedule. Once you agree, you pay and send us your models.

Test model

We paint one model. You approve it before we go further.

Full run

We paint the rest, share progress photos and ship it to you. We ship worldwide from Portugal, tracked and insured.

Commission questions.

Yes. Send them on the sprue or built; we will note any assembly in your quote.

Take your time, keep adding those layers.
