getting paid to build a model

[ewaskew]

I have done this for a guy I met at a Car show.

He wanted one built to match his dad's show car.

We maid a plan and it cost $250.00 to get it done.

He couldn't beleave how it came out and gave me a $20.00 bonus.

He thought it would cost more.

But my starting price is $100.00 box stock if the kit is on the market.

I'm just the opposite. The thrill for me is the build. Once it's finished it's just another dust collector in mr display case. The Model I enjoy the most is always the one I'm working on.

I couldn't agree more...

eBay has saved me from having boxes of built models wasting away in a closet...

I do build models for a few people...price depends on the subject, how much detailing...but I never box myself in with a deadline

thanks guys. i did give her a price. guess she didn't to spend 150 bucks. it was going to involve some scratch building, BFMing, custom color to try and match it and some alclad.
