REGARDING REFERENCES
While I understand that people want their model to look "just like the picture", I'm not that kind of painter. Yes, you may submit photos of what you'd like your model to look like, but I will use those photos as inspiration rather than literal references. I will certainly try to get your model to look as close as possible to your reference photos, but I admit to needing a certain amount of artistic freedom to do my best work. If this doesn't work for you, then I'm not the painter for you.
VERY IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ
Folks, I am a slow painter at best. In addition to arthritis in my hands, I suffer from severe dry eyes. That condition very often limits the amount of time I can devote to painting. I cannot say how long it will take to finish your model. It could be a month, it could be a year or more. If you don’t hear from me for awhile and want to know what is happening with your model, feel free to contact me at red.horse.artworks@gmail.com. I reserve the right to return your model at any time for any reason. Finishwork will be either primed over or stripped and the model will be reprimed before being returned to you at my expense. Your shipping charges will be refunded.
PAYMENT and SHIPPING
I do not require payment up front or a deposit. Payment in full must be received within 5 mailing days upon notification that your model is ready to ship. I usually give you a heads up that your model is nearly finished so you can make sure to have the funds available when the model is done. Customer also pays return shipping and their chosen amount of insurance. Absolutely NO time payments. If you need more than 5 business days to get payment to me, let me know and we can work something out. Models will considered abandoned if I do not get a response after 3 attempts to contact you for payment and I will keep or sell the model at my discretion.
I do take PayPal, but I prefer a money order (or a personal check, if you have done business with me before) to save me the PayPal fees. If paying by PayPal, you will need to send two payments - one for the finishwork (Goods/Services) and one for the shipping and insurance (Friends/Family).
PLEASE NOTE: I will return your completed model in the same box and packing material as it was sent in, so be sure to send it in an appropriate box with plenty of packing materials! I do NOT have extra boxes and packing materials to return your model in so you must be sure that the piece is packed well in a sturdy and generously sized box because it will be making its return trip in the same box.
