Concept
art: Concept art must be supplied and must contain the pose of the miniature
and all details. If concept art cannot be supplied it can be created
at the charge of £1.25 a figure (any scale). Compulsory.
Amount:
No minimum or maximum amount of figures (within reason).
ESD
& ETC: Estimated start date and estimated time of completion. Please
make contact for timelines.
Conversions:
accepted, pricing varies.
Materials:
Master Miniatures are sculpted out of two part putty called Kneadatite.
It is designed specifically for sculpting miniatures and also to withstand
the mould making process (Vulcanisation).
Property:
After you have purchased the original from me it is yours to do with
as you wish, sell the green, cast it, etc. I retain the private copyright
of the figures which basically means I will keep a photo of the original
for portfolio purposes. I require that credit is given to me (Alix Elder)
for the original work when reselling the original or the casts. If you
do not want me to show the original on my website at all or before the
figures are released that's fine just let me know.
Payment:
50% of the fee must be paid up front (non - refundable). The other 50%
is required ten days after completion. I can accept Cheques in £
Sterling, Postal Orders in £ Sterling or Bank Transfers in £
Sterling - (Preffered). Minimum payment accepted via Paypal £60.
Scale:
The scale of your figure must be provided exactly to the mm. I determine
scale by measuring from foot to eye. Providing a sample of a figure
you wish the sculptures to fit in with will help a lot. Some companies
measure from foot to eye and some measure from foot to top of head.
True scale = normal human proportions, Heroic scale = body parts that
can be artistically larger or smalle. Miniatures will be made 3.5% larger
due to shrinkage that occurs during mould making.
Style:
I can sculpt to other styles if you wish. Fees may be less or more depending
on the style. Note: Sometime it is simply impossible to mimic another
persons sculpting style.
Intellectual
Property Rights: I can take on any project but take no responsibility
for any copyright issues that may ensue. This includes any legal fees.
I can not research every sculpture to see whether it may have copyright
and/or intellectual issues.
Contact:
All through e-mail.
Postage
and Packing: Miniatures will be sent boxed and insured at your cost
to avoid damage in transit. Any import/customs duties that are incurred
are your responsibility.

Please
note the prices below are just a guide, charges can be more or less
expensive depending on what you are looking for. I offer two grades
of sculpting (standard and high end) Which basically means the more
you pay the better the sculpt as more time can be spent on it. The standard
grade will be anatomically correct but completed quicker, less smooth,
but this can be an appealing charectaristic to many figures.
