COMMISSION PAINTING FOR YOUR MINIATURES

Anyone can paint, but not everyone has the time and experience to paint models they're truly proud of. DHP brings your miniatures to life - from table-ready figures to pristine display pieces. 

Each project is a detailed dialogue considering model size(s), color scheme, the number of miniatures, expertise level, basing options, etc.

DHP's work is not limited to figures from games typically categorized as "miniatures games" or "war games," but also includes models for roleplaying games, board games and other categories. 

STANDARDS

To distinguish between the levels of painting DHP can provide you can explore the following options:

ACCELERATED / AMBITIOUS / ASCENDANT / APEX

------------------------------------------------------------------

* All tiers presume models are provided to DHP assembled and ready to be painted. All tiers include a basic black base, but additional basing features are available.

BASING

Creating dynamic bases for models is a unique art in and of itself. It's an essential add-on for realism, immersion, and a cohesive look for groups of models. If you request basing work (beyond the standard black base) to be applied to any of your models it will be included in the pricing quote. 

 TIMELINE 

Numerous factors impact the duration of each project. Weeks (or even months) of lead time is typical. DHP provides realistic estimates and regular updates for your project from beginning to end. Delays are common, but DHP is committed to delivering your cargo in a timely manner.

PRICING

Hobby painting is a skilled craft and each detail impacts pricing.

After carefully assessing your inquiry and discussing the project with you, DHP will provide a specific quote for you to evaluate.

Once a quote is agreed upon, a 50% deposit is required to start the project. You'll receive an update (including pictures) for your approval when the work is approximately half complete before the work is taken to completion. When the project is finalized you will receive thorough pictures to give an initial approval with the remaining 50% due upon delivery.

Payments can be made directly via venmo or with cash/credit card at Victory Pints.

*Pricing structure and down payment intervals may vary depending on the size of the project.
