Does anyone know of any model makers who makes ships to order?
I'm wanting someone to make the Battlestar Galactica ship to the same scale as a battleship.
Just wondering... would be nice.

Yerh I guessed it would be a little small.
Youd certainly need a custom made model if you wanted something bigger ie 5" or 6" long.
Ive made a few completely scratch built models.
I reakon it would involve about 20 to 30 hrs work to make such a model.
The cost of which would not be cheap.
Maybe better to find two of these 3" models and do a "cut n shut" job.
Youd end up with something looking close to the battlestar galactica model. And it would be a lot cheaper

Bugger, didn't get to bid & now it's gone... 
Just out of interest how much you you charge to make it?

Id charge u about ?50 for the work plus the cost of parts used, which could be anything up to ?40 or more as I always use GW parts where ever possible. For that you would get a hight quality model as detailed as any BFG model.
But then Im not cheap. Im sure there must be plenty of people that would make it for less.
And I should also add Id be unable to make it as I dont have the time right now.
Ive resently been asked to make a Elder Titan for WH40k so thats taking up my time.

Mate, Thats certainly not expensive.
FOr an estimate of 20-30 Hours, your rate works to ?2.50 an hour. Most pro sculptors would be quoting ?100-?150 (?5 an hour) _minimum_.
Fanatic pay ?300 for a Cruiser sized ship. Keep that in mind!
And Krooza - Xavi is right, if you dont post at least one update about the 40K titan, you'll not live to regret it....   _________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.
