That's good news, nothing lost except time then.

Indeed. Just this spring i decided it was time to find someone to paint the last miniatures for my Vietnam project. The reason is that my eyes are older (like the rest) and i really need to spend time on terrain. The first one i came into contact with (not via LAF) send me photos (after i asked him for visual examples of his work) that somehow looked very familiar. So i did a search on the www. And yes there they were on a website from an American pro-painter. When confronted with that info he acted very immature and i said goodbye. The second one i found was on FB and i send that small batch of the Nam-project miniatures to him. It took awhile. About 4 months but the result is very good and i am very pleased with them. And his prices are really okay. For me the lack of communication was the worst part. It was a valuable lesson learned.In the meantime i found another painter who does it purely out of hobby-enjoyment. Very good communicator and he's quite fast. 15 miniatures in a (very) little over a month. He paints a fair tabletop standard at a very reasonable price. Quite happy with that and my second commission is now on his table.Just yesterday i found another painter via FB. Really professional and more costly. Nothing happened here as i need to think about it. What funny is about all this that i put out a thread here on LAF asking for a miniaturepainter and suprisingly there was very little response. ;-)
Well, finally got refund out of him but he has not returned the lead as yet........ThanksSB
