I used to figure paints myself. More so in my teens but took it up again around 15 years ago. Not done anything serious for a good few years now, but enjoyed some success in local competitions a few years ago. ( I even built and painted the 1/25th Tamiya Tiger 1, the one with the full interior detail...)I painted a few 1/600th aircraft a couple of years ago, really must get back and finish a few more.I used to paint 28mm Naps for money, did some very big commissions as I was up to connoisseur standard and could charge a fair bit per figure and my client base had enough dosh to chuck at their hobby (Regiment of Curassier 24 strong would set you back £250 all based and mark d for the Regiment you wanted portrayed) I had to stop when my eye sight started to go down hill about 4 years ago.
£250 for 24 figures puts you in the 'Pro' class, that's for sure.
Cheers
