Welcome to mywifepaintsbattleships!
I am no longer taking new painting orders - I've decided to spend more time helping my husband with publication of his naval and space tabletop miniatures games, and have also recently had major surgery, from which I am currently recovering.
My buddy Jim Wellenreiter paints miniatures in all scales. For more information on having Jim paint your stuff, please click here.
No painting for 2-3 weeks
Had my tonsils out, and nose and throat work done to help me breathe and sleep better, I'll be taking some time off as I recover. I'll post on the status page when I'm back at the painting table.
Leslie will be at Little Wars!
Planning to attend Little Wars in Lincolnshire, Illinois? Leslie will be there - stop by the Naval Thunder demo and say HI!
Note: If you have trouble finding her, look around for the GIRL... there probably won't be many there. ;-)
NEW! Naval Thunder Yahoo Group
A Yahoo! Group has been created for fans of Naval Thunder to discuss the game.
You can visit it at groups.yahoo.com/group/navalthunder.
Naval Thunder is the exciting, fast-playing naval miniatures game from Steel Dreadnought Games. Since its release in March 2009, it has been the top-selling naval system on wargamevault.com, and it covers everything from pre-dreadnought through World War II naval action.
Visit the Naval Thunder website at navalthunder.com to learn more about this exciting series of games.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
FREE SHIPPING - on all orders over $200. This is not a sale - this is permanent. Yes, this includes international shipping. Orders under $200 will continue to be charged exact shipping costs only.
NO PAYPAL FEES - this one's for everyone. Again, not a sale, and permanent.
PRE-PAINTED NAVAL MINIATURES - coming soon. I am still working out the details, but here is what I have planned so far:
* The pre-painted miniatures will be 1:2400 Panzerschiffe models. They will be painted by me.
* The models will be painted and based, with a label. The label will be included in the cost, but you get to specify what name to put on the label, so it won't be applied until you order.
* Initial inventory will include US, British, German, and Japanese ships from WW2.
PRICING - First, a restructuring of how I do pricing. This accomplishes several things: A) it makes it easier for me to provide quotes, and for you to figure out pricing on your own. B) it more accurately represents the extra time it takes to paint highly detailed models. C) it makes pricing more consistent across the various scales.
If I have sent you a written quote with prices on it - we use that. If I have not, then it was because I didn't have a detailed list of what models you plan to send/have sent and it will use the new pricing.
Next, assembly costs. I've pretty much got assembly costs by scale nailed down, so assembly costs for multiple-piece models are now fixed - see the price list by scale. For anything else, such as modifications/repair, we still use the hourly rate.
If you have questions, suggestions, recommendations, requests, experience with other pre-painted miniature services, rants, cheers, jeers, or other input about these announcements, you can contact me through the normal channels.
Naval Thunder: Bitter Rivals now available!
Harry Pratt at Steel Dreadnought Games (that's my husband) has just released the first expansion for his WW2 naval rules Naval Thunder Battleship Row. The expansion is called Bitter Rivals, and includes fleets lists and all kinds of great scenarios. You should be in awe of my type-editing (the whole book) and mad Photoshop skills (on the scenario maps). :)
Buy it here! Wargamevault.com
Transparent Bases from Old Dominion
Transparent bases with etched wakes are now available from Old Dominion Game Works. I don't have any in stock, but I can order them. In case folks are interested.
The challenge becomes where to put the label, as they didn't leave much room. But they're pretty!

Pics from Navy Night
Mitch was cool enough to send pictures of a recent battle with his freshly-painted ships. The pics are from Navy Night at his local game store. See Mitch's ships in battle here.

"Outstanding work that leaves fellow gamers visibly jealous. I was impressed as I unwrapped each ship! Also, not just an artist, but a gamer who understands the history and how each figure should be painted.
Contact you the next time I make a purchase."
