Thanatar-Calix Siege Engine

To say this was hard to put together would be an understatement!

The leg assemblies are not for the novice model maker by any stretch of the imagination... FW's instructions are lacking in clarity (far too common...), and some parts are just not identified on the sheet.

Once together it was an absolute joy to paint. I had the opportunity to try out some chipping/weathering techniques I've been learning for the past couple of years; I think they worked really well.

I also worked up the reds from the Minitaire range for paints from Badger. Reds can be challenging in any paint range, but the boffins at Badger, along with their testers, came up with some superb colours. And they airbrush beautifully.

Hopefully the client will be happy, and I get to paint some more for him!

Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Frozen North Painting.

This is a new North Vancouver, BC based contract painting service. I specialize in units and character models for table top wargaming such as Warhammer FB and 40k, Warmachine and Malifaux. Pretty much anything you need to have painted, I can do!
Unlike other services I do not offer "levels" of painting - I take pride in my work and will paint everything to the highest standard I can.

My rates, therefore are not cheap; I aim for about $20 per hour.
Negotiation of the work is a matter of communication, and we will discuss what you want done, my artistic input, and how much work (and therefore the cost) I think it will run at.

I do not charge for materials I use - that is built into the cost - but I do charge extra for assembly of the models.

I have over 40 years of model making experience, and I have a shelf full of awards for my armies.

Hope to hear from you!
