My New website update!

Just be careful of your pricing Miles. A friend of mine decided to see if he could make some money on the side doing custom painting. The first customer he had brought in a G scale boxcar to paint. He quoted a price, but he didn't realize how much paint it would take to cover a boxcar that big. He ended up spending twice as much for Floquil paint as he was paid for the job and decided to retire after one job!
 
Heh. Don't worry. I give a price quote up front that includes all of the cost factored inside. The prices on the main page are for HO/N. Scales larger the price is porportionately higher, and I don't do Z scale.

Come on by and see what I can do for you!

(BTW ALL of the photos on the website are of work we completed for previous (and current) clients!)
 
I think the best thing you can do is develop a relationship/friendship with a local train shop owner. That way if a customer comes in wanting a custom paint job, you get a quick recomendation.
 
That is some impressive work on there, Miles. Do you do much weathering of steamers or steam era equipment?

Yes, That's what I SPECIALIZE in. Wood Cars are my favorite thing to weather, and steamers are a VERY close second. If you're interested, feel free to PM me or e-mail me with an inquiry! :)

(which reminds me, I need to post some of my newest wooden cars up on my site! )
