Any customizers for hire?

Post by zenmotion » Sun Mar 24, 2019 2:12 pm

Hi

I was wondering if there any people in the hobby out there who offer custom model work?

More than just swapping wheels though, I’d be looking for both exterior and interior colour changes as well.

Finally found the right place to ask! Is there anybody in Europe who does custom model cars eg: repaints, interior and exterior details etc? I've heard of a few places, all pretty pricey though. If you guys know of anywhere please let me know! Thanks, Tom

Well, don't expect to find cheap (good) customizers, because it is very time consuming and therefore pricey, 20 hours work is nothing, just a good custom paint job with no other modification will take 20 hours minimum with disassambly and rebuild. Just the way it is. The only solution is start doing it yourself, which will save you money in labour costs.

ask @petespec on instagram. His prices are the best in the business and his work speaks for itself. He's in the UK

Neat stuff. However, "No longer doing commission builds"
