I am now offering
custom painting and detailing in N Scale. Turn around time
averages 1 to 2 weeks depending on how much of a back log I have
and my training schedules at work. I do not consider myself a professional
and therefore do not charge over the top prices. This is
strictly a hobby for me, but I enjoy it enough to share my
talents with others out there that either don't have the
equipment or the time to work on their own stuff.
For railroads
that are not Class I's, if you have pictures of a particular
engine please send those or provide a link to it on the
internet. I have a decent library, but I'll be the first
to admit it's still far from complete.
Shipping is done
via USPS Priority. Cost is dependant on
number of engines and your zone. One engine normally comes
in under 1 pound.
Models are not
included in the price as they are supplied by the individual
requesting the service. Decals can be supplied by the
owner for a discount.
I can accept
PayPal or Money Orders, please no personal checks.
Turn around times will vary
depending on my work schedule and the number of open projects.
I can give an estimate at the time of the request.
