How we work

Miniature Painting Service 9 COMMISSIONING PROCESS

How are we going to paint your miniatures?

In Starbrush Studio we want you to have all the information available. On this page we want to inform you about all that implies the acceptance of a commission with STARBRUSH Studio.

As any business, there is a policy and a number of conditions to everything goes perfect:

Customers have to pay 50% of the total cost of the project in advance so that we can start working.

When a customer accepts the final result will be considered finished and there will be no returns from the moment the miniatures are sent to the costumer. Throughout the process, We have sent pictures of the progress, videos if necessary and the contact is continuous and direct, in order to make the relevant changes as we progress. So we understand that the customer has been informed and communicated enough so that the final result is always satisfactory.

BUDGET

We have price tables that will guide you in the final price of the budget:

We can make a detailed budget of what you need, if you send us your questions to [email protected] or better still filling out our CONTACT FORM.

Once you has received the budget, we can make all the necessary changes until we adjust to your needs.

CONVERTING PRICES

We can make conversions to the miniatures, so We do it according to two assumptions:

  1. You want some specific conversions and you indicate it to us when requesting the budget. In this case you will be informed of the exact amount of the conversions in the budget.
  2. You want a miniature painting service for your troop, a regiment or an army, and you want conversions. In this case, an amount of 15% of the total will be added to the budget for conversions. 
BUY MINIATURES

To be able to paint we need the miniatures, and to get them we have two options:

  • You send us the miniatures.
  • We buy the miniatures.

We recommend the second options, for the benefit of all! You save one shipping cost, We can get a discount (not always), We can start working before, and We make sure they are well prepared to work properly.

We don´t charge any commission for the purchase of the miniatures, we only add the cost of the miniatures in the budget.

WE HAVE FINISHED THE JOB!

When the work is finished We will send you a photo gallery. Then you can see your finished miniatures well before sending you and give us your FINAL OK. After paying the remaining 50% we will send the miniatures.

In a period of 60 days, You have to pay the order once finished. If at that time we have not received a response, we will assume that the miniatures are owned by Starbrush Studio.

We´re flexible with dates! So, if you know that you will take longer, for example, to a work trip, some unexpected expense that has arisen … tell us, and we will evaluate different options.

The full payment of the project must be made before sending the miniatures, which include shipping costs, which we will inform in the budget.

***Remember: The last payment of 50% must be made within a maximum period of 60 days from the end of the project!
