Hi guys,

Mum's been made redundant and needs some part time work here and there, but can't get a job anywhere right now.

She's asked me if she can start up her own painting service if I build her a website and point her in the right direction for forums to post on and where to advertise.

She's not a bad painter from when she helped me as a kid.
But, I have no test models to give her and I need to show her the basic techniques.

I was hoping I could scrounge a spare Ork here, a Space Marine there and maybe a Tyranid, Guardsman or Eldar from you guys?

It would really mean a lot to me (and my mum).

Cheers
Adam

i've not got anything to offer myself (sorry) but have you tried the local GW? when i worked at one we used to give a couple of those 'painting lesson' marines/gobbos/dwarves to people who wanted to show their kids, or have a few more goes, it's worth a try

I might be able to find a spare guardsman or two, and same goes for marines. Not too sure about anything else though. Will have a look and P.M. yah. Good luck to your mum, it can be a rather hard business to break into.

Dave out.

Thanks guys, PMs sent.
She'll be fine. She's got the skill. She just needs me to give her a list of paints to use.

I'd like to send you my old metal Steggadon (unassembled) but the shipping is going to be a pain. I'll see what I can do. I have some 'dancing' Kroxigors too.

Edit: I also have Frodo, Sam and Gollum from a box set, I'm pretty sure. Those would all help her with a decent start. All those models were on my 'someday after this massive heap of other stuff' list. Better off helping someone in need than sitting in my closet.

Edit 2: No, I'm not wealthy, not by far, but when I had my employee discount, I did buy stuff I didn't need or would never have time for. :$
