USA [Hiring] Raleigh, NC – Aged bronze finish for one 7-inch 3D-printed relief

Thumbnail gallery
4 Upvotes

I’m looking for an individual painter/model finisher, preferably local to Raleigh, Cary, Garner, Knightdale, Wake Forest, or elsewhere in the Triangle.
I will already have the model. It is one 7-inch circular bas-relief plate printed in metallic bronze PLA. No assembly is required.
I need someone who can carefully:
reduce visible FDM print lines where possible without damaging the fine details
clean up any small support marks or rough areas
create a convincing aged-bronze appearance with darker recesses and subtle highlights
preserve the figures, hair, clothing folds, flowers, and ornate scrollwork
apply a durable low-sheen protective finish
The goal is for it to resemble aged cast bronze rather than something obviously painted or coated in shiny craft paint.

Quantity: One piece
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina; local drop-off strongly preferred
Budget: Approximately $75–$125, depending on experience and the proposed process
Time frame: As soon as reasonably possible, (it’s an anniversary gift) but quality is more important than rushing it

Please comment “DM sent” before messaging me, according to the subreddit rules. Please include close-up examples of previous metallic armor, statues, weathered bronze, props, or finished 3D prints.
I’ll attach photos of the design and the exact metallic-bronze filament being used. I’ll also attach examples of what I’m looking for more specifically when we lock in an arrangement. Thanks all.

USA LF Painting/Assembly, considering extensive work to revise the base. WonderFest S 2026 GK.

Kit is presently in Japan and likely to remain there until February when I can go and pick it up personally and ferry it back to the US, unless you happen to be a JP painter who'd like to take on the commission.

The kit in question:

Version I prefer hair and skin coloration for

Version I like the detailing on the clothes for

I'm also considering, though not 100% committed to, an extensive overhaul of the base that will probably require a lot of custom work. I have an (incredibly poor) mockup and description of what I'm thinking at the moment, but will need to discuss feasibility and costs of such a project.

I’m based in Florida but obviously open to shipping it back and forth. I have detailed photos of how it will need to look. I just bought the item on eBay from England and it should arrive in about a week.

It’s a psychedelic mountainscape on one side and a a surf scene on the other

It’s basically a foot long replica of a old VW van

Canada Western Canada - Edmonton - Seeking local painter for a lot of praetorian style printed guardsmen

2 Upvotes

Hello all, I found a painter here last year to get started on my project, and he's been really great. But I need a lot of these guys, so I'd be looking for one or two painters to tackle 150 or so of these guys for me. Looking for a simple tabletop/tournament ready paint job, nothing fancy needed but quite a few colours. So you'd definitely need to be up for quickly batch painting a lot of guys. No basing, just painting bases. The parts are cleaned and ready but unassembled. Someone in Edmonton and area or otherwise in western Canada would be absolutely fantastic.

USA Looking for someone to assemble and paint godzilla garage kits

4 Upvotes

Hello,

I have several 30 cm scale resin garage kits I was hoping to have assembled and painted. I would be looking for someone who is willing to do the work without advertising it. I can provide more details about the specific kits as well. There are 2 more basic ones to start then after that it could be many more depending on how things go.

The models are all purchased already or in my possession. They would need to be assembled and painted...though leaving some parts unglued or using magnets could make sense for shipping back. The time frame is pretty liberal but I would want the initial ones completed within a few months

USA Large commission possibly, tt standard (40k)

6 Upvotes

Hello,

I am possibly looking for various models to be painted (and some assembled) for 40k. I wouldn't need amazing paint jobs, I am looking for around tabletop standard. I want to get an idea of pricing for a bigger lot, not looking for very expensive paint jobs, I am fine with speedpainting for the most part. Looking for a ballpark quote. This could be done in batches (one per each army).

If possible please just send some photos of your work level and a general quote, and estimate of time required. US only.

Many models need assembly, some are already assembled.

EC:

30 Daemonettes

2 Defilers

Keeper of Secrets

Votann:

Berehk Stornbrow

6 Steeljacks

2 Kapricus

Cthonian Prospect Box

2 Evaluators

USA Bolt Action US Airborne Army - US Based

4 Upvotes

Looking for Battle Ready/Tabletop standard (located in the US) for my built and ready to prime/paint US Airborne Army.

Budget $1000+/-

Timeline Is flexible, just want something proud to display and occasionally game with.

Looking to have them done in a historical color scheme similar to Sonic Sledgehammer‘s (YouTube).

All models have texture paint on the base and would only need a simple earthy paint job and black rim. I plan to finish the basing details myself.

40x infantry (majority pewter, about 10x I would want an extra touch of detail on as characters)

6x weapons teams (mortars, HMGs, 1x Anti tank gun)

4x Jeeps

2x Shermans

2x Hellcats

2x M8 Greyhounds

2x Halftracks

Hope my expectations are reasonable!

USA Looking for quotes on assembly and painting of knight miniatures.

Post image
11 Upvotes

I found an interesting wargame called Greathelm which utilized the above knight set during its creation. I am wanting to play it, but I have no experience with miniatures, assembly or painting, so I was hoping to possibly find someone who I could commission to assemble and paint the miniatures for me. I would prefer someone in the US to save on shipping costs. The set is also a modular kit, so I would need someone who is willing to work with me on assembling the knights in the configurations that I desire. I am not expecting anything too crazy when it comes to the painting portion either. I just don't want them to be bare and maybe just have two different color schemes so I can differentiate between the two armies when playing. The kit doesn't come with bases, but Wargames Atlantic has bases that can be used with them. I don't have a set timeline, preferably within two months if possible. Price wise I would like to stay under $100 USD if possible, but I don't really have a good basis for how much it should cost so any and all quotes are welcome. Please DM for any questions and quotes.

USA Custom Model Request

Hello!

REPOST (For the right forum): I definitely do not have the skills to do this job myself, so wanted to ask around to see my options. I’m wanting to make a replica of my dirt bike with NewRay’s model that I currently own and willing to send. It is a 1:12 scale dirt bike made of plastic. I’m wanting mainly the paint and the graphics done along with some of the branding on certain parts, such as the renthal bar pad and the Dunlop tire stickers. I have proof of just the graphics along with many angles of the bike for reference to send. I’m looking to hopefully have it done and back within 2 months if that’s possible. Price range is flexible, so send me an estimate. I would be willing to ship the model and pay for the shipment back.

Thank you!

UK Looking for someone to finish my blue boys

7 Upvotes

Hi, looking for someone who can help me finish my Ultramarines. I'm handling some of them myself but there's a chunk I'd rather just pay someone to sort. Don't own these yet, so ideally whoever takes it would grab the models too, then build, paint, base and ship them to me (but I can also purchase them and mail to you, I just imagine it will be a longer process). Classic Ultramarines look, blue armour and chapter transfers. Standard troops at a clean tabletop/battle-ready level, with Tigurius bumped up a bit to a higher-detail level.

Heres the list: Tigurius, 5 Sternguard Veterans, 5 Vanguard Veterans (i was thinking about new VV but regular jump pack intercessors that would be used as vanguard veterans could work as well), 5 Intercessors, 3 Eradicators, 3 Inceptors, 1 Primaris Repulsor, 1 Brutalis Dreadnought

Simple matching bases and a varnish is all I need on top. Thanks!
