So I recently picked up an Asmodai blister from my local store and have been heavily debating whether I should paint it or not. It's a cool looking model, the thing is, I picked it up for a friend of mine. However, I won't be seeing him for a few weeks so I was planning on picking up another if I broke into this one and started painting it. If I painted it however, I wouldn't keep it (I play Tau) and I know my buddy would want to paint his own model so I have been trying to think of what I would do with it. Anyways, I think my skills as a painter are to the point where I am able to sell my work. I am looking for some basic advice on painting-in-order-to-sell (e.g. how much to charge, sticking to 'normal' color schemes, how to know which models to paint based on desirability, where the best place to find customers is [this site/ebay/etc.]).
Also, I was wondering if anyone is skilled at taking pics of minis if they could offer some basic advice on lighting, what camera they use, etc. Assume I know nothing about photography, I wouldn't want any small details to be missed. Any and all advice is appreciated! Thanks,
