The painting service is available on all Grandmanner products in 2 different standards, Wargames Standard and Collectors Standard.
Whether you choose either standard, the unmistakable painting style and incredible level of detail makes anyones wargaming table come to life.

Over the years Grandmanner have completed many painting projects which have been featured in the leading magazines and rule books including Wargames Illustrated, Warhammer Ancient Battles, Warlord Games' Rules.

As for collectors, many of the wargaming elite such as Alan & Michael Perry of Perry Miniatures, John Stallard of Warlord Games, Peter Fitzgerald of Calpe, Darren and Andy of Gripping Beast and WAB/Games Workshop Games Day plus many of the gaming community worldwide.

The resin model is first prepared and cleaned up (all flash removed) then primed in an acrylic base tone to match the final colour.
From there lightening tones are used to produce the depth of colour for a natural and sympathetic to the historical setting of the model.
For wargames standard, upto 4 tones of colour are applied to achieve the desired effect.

Painting Example
Pan tile roof from a Spanish (LS) building

Base tone then 3 lighter colours are dry brushed over the tiles to provide the final effect.
*any special requirements/requests by the customer such as mounting products on a base board and flocking will be possible for an extra fee.

The base preparation of the model is the same as Wargames Standard but the painting style and process is very different.
Stone walls, cobble floors, pan tile / tile roofs are all individually painted with different colours of paint.

They are then highlighted to achieve the extensive depth of colours.
Timbers are painted to simulate wood grain with the depth and aging that you would normally see.

Finally the models may need flock, grass, or shrubs added if needed.
Some larger sets of models are assembled and mounted on baseboards such as forts, church walls and graveyards.
