tips for a business [Aka: help for a poor sculptor]

[Sangennaru]

Hi!

I have a problem: I'm a yong building sculptor, and a shop asked me to start a new line of historical-fantasy buildings for 28 mms.

I'm pretty experienced on preparing masters and making buildings, but i never started this kind of business with a company.

the point is: how much should i have to ask for my stuff? They were thinking about 2 floor buildings for fantasy or for berlin WWII.


i hope in your huge knowledge about everything related with models, so if someone has any idea, can you give me some scale prices (for small stuff or bigger one)


thanks!
Jack

Many professional sculptors frequent that site, and they can probably give you an accurate appraisal of what the going rate is for professional terrain sculpting.

I'm 19, and I do sculpting for Alternative Armies.

I don't expect money at first, I expect to show them I care and that I am well organised and keep to schedules. When I feel ready, I might mention the idea of working based on a contract.

As for how much, I don't know. It depends on the quality of work, how long it took and how well it will sell.
I couldn't speak for the quality, but if it's quite generic, then it should be quite popular.

the quality is pretty good: a bit over the average. but i was asking a very generic question, for the scale of prizes, nothing too specific!
