    Commissioned work ;;

    just like to share my good fortune with you all

    after the successful sale of She Hunter,

    I have obtained 5 other commissioned work,s from the same guy,

    being all old horror movie,creatures, Frankenstein, Bela Lugosi Count Dracula,the Wolfman,

    the Mommy, and the Creator from the black lagoon,Male Predator

    and to be set on base,s of his picking,and just a generally look he wont,s

    and i said you supply the kit and the rest is up to me,with a mim pries of $300.oo per one,

    and what makes it easier with pries is he has seen them for much more,so I can start off high and work down

    and with them try to work with in a 6 wk window,wich sould be ok with me,if longer well it takes me longer,im a artist so can be a bit nutt,lol,well thats what im saying

      Congratulations moni I would start higher after all he wants your work (and top rate work it is) you never know he may have friends who want your work too, be careful it don't become a job and stays something you love doing rather than something you have to do. Well done and good luck

            Great stuff Moni, think of all those cat toys & treats you'll be able to buy!

            If $300 is the minimum, I'd definitely go in at a higher price, $450 maybe in order to seal the deal at 375?

                    Well done Monica, a professional builder. But, just a 6 week window, might that cause you a bit of pressure ? Unless of course you're one of those people that love deadlines.

                      I definitely think try higher you can always drop lower but you can't then go up. Good luck

                          Congratulations Monica and I agree with Patrick $450 per kit seems reasonable to me.

                            thank you all so very much for your well wishers

                            and do appreciate them,

                            you know your right Colin, oh what did i say lol, you know i can go for days and not even pickup a brush ,then i can get so

                            much done in one sitting when i,m in the mood, so a bit off a catch 22 it seams,o_O

                            but i thhink i should be ok,if i need longer i do,and i will make that a strong point,when starting,

                            as for the $ side what Patrick,ken and Scott ,have all said makes scene let it be barter down ,but once to low cannot return to a high price,o_O
