Anybody Paint Models In LA?

[pastadude]

Hey guys,

I know this sounds insane, but I *HATE* painting, and I have a model I've been looking to get painted for quite some time, but because it's rather fragile, shipping doesn't seem like an option. With all that said, I'd love to know if you (or anyone you know) paints models in Los Angeles? It's about 14" tall, it's a character from the comic The Red Star. I'm not sure if it's made from resin, because it weighs a TON? I believe it was a prototype for a Gentle Giant statue that never got made, but I'd still love to see it perfected one day. At any rate, any help would be much appreciated!

Hi pastadude,
Does it come apart? I ask because I'm in New York, if you were willing to ship it, I could paint it for you. I get figures in the mail all the time, as long as its packed carefully, it should be fine
Regards,
Mike

Hey Mike,

Unfortunately it doesn't break down even a little bit! I'd imagine if it ever made it to production, it probably would've shipped in pieces, but since this is a test shot or a proof, it's a solid piece that weighs a billionty. If nobody gets back to me in Los Angeles though, I might have to give shipping a shot!

Oh man, do you really? I'm in Van Nuys! Time to bump this to a PM?

Hey pasta dude, head out to the west side and talk to Gene at Evett's Model Shop on Ocean Park in Santa Monica. He's got quite a few pieces in the shop he's painted and has a great eye. I work in Culver City and am in the shop 1-2 times a month, Gene is the man.
