03 / CHOOSING A FINISH

The detail your collection needs.

Three levels based on the time and attention given to each model. You can combine levels within a commission; for example, Tabletop troops and High-level characters.

01

Tabletop

For gaming with a finished collection and a cohesive scheme. Colour and contrast keep the models readable on the tabletop.

  • Clearly defined main colours.
  • Essential shading and highlights to establish volume.
  • Main details and a consistent finish across the unit.

02

Intermediate

A step up in definition and colour depth. For teams, units and characters you also want to enjoy up close.

  • More developed highlights and shadows.
  • More refined colour transitions and edge definition.
  • Extra attention to faces, weapons, cloth and other model details.

03

High

For characters and centrepiece models. More time devoted to refining the finish, materials and focal points.

  • Smoother transitions and controlled contrast.
  • More refined treatment of textures and materials.
  • Fine detail and particular attention to focal areas.

Your quote defines the finish on your models. Assembly, bases and special effects—such as simulated lighting or freehand designs—are agreed separately; choosing a level does not automatically include them. If you are unsure, we can help with references.

Preparation and assembly

Tell us whether models are on sprues, assembled, primed or painted. Your quote will specify the preparation needed and its cost.

Bases

From a simple base to a scenic proposal. We agree separately on size, theme and included elements.

Special requests

Describe any conversion, magnetisation, lettering or repainting you need. We assess feasibility before including it in the proposal.

04 / FROM FIRST MESSAGE TO DELIVERY

How your commission works.

01

Your idea and models

Send the model list, their condition and references. If you are unsure about the finish, we can help.

02

Proposal and agreement

We agree preparation, painting, bases, extras, price and timing in writing. An enquiry does not reserve a date.

03

Booking and arrival

For short commissions: 50% on acceptance and 50% before delivery or shipping. Longer projects use agreed payment milestones. Work starts after the first payment.

04

Painting and updates

We agree the colour scheme and update milestones. Scope changes are quoted and approved in writing before being carried out.

05

Review and delivery

We review the result with you and arrange delivery. Destination, transport and cost are agreed for each project.

José Rojas.
The painter behind Vermilion.

I’m José Rojas. I’ve spent 25 years in the hobby, collecting miniatures, exploring different games and taking part in tournaments. In 2025, I decided to turn the part I love most into my profession: painting.

Today, at Vermilion Studio, I paint commissioned characters, teams, collections and terrain. I enjoy getting to know the idea behind each project and working with you to shape it, whether you want a collection for gaming or a piece that deserves particular attention.

BEFORE ENQUIRING

Quotes,
timing and shipping.

What do you need to prepare a quote?

A model list with quantities, their current condition, the finish and a colour idea. You can attach references and photographs. Include any important deadline or destination outside Spain.

Are assembly and basing included?

Your quote details the agreed preparation, painting, basing and extras. They are not automatically included with a painting level. Tell us what you need so we can assess it from the start.

Will I see progress on my commission?

We agree update milestones with you and review the result before delivery. If you need to approve the colour scheme or a particular detail, mention it when we prepare the proposal.

How do I know my enquiry was received?

The confirmation screen displays a reference once your enquiry is saved. Download the summary and keep the reference. You do not need to submit again if confirmation is displayed; it is not yet a booking or an accepted quote.

Do you accept commissions from outside Spain?

Yes. You can enquire in Spanish or English. Tell us your city and country so we can agree shipping arrangements, costs and timing before accepting the commission.

How is the quote calculated?

The model, quantity, condition, finish and bases all matter. The proposal sets out the agreed work and extras. The budget in the form helps shape a proposal; it is not an automatic price.

Can I choose colours or combine finishes?

You can send a palette and references or ask for guidance. If you want a character to stand out within a unit, tell us so we can quote the whole project.

What if the models are already painted?

Attach photographs and describe their condition. We assess the preparation needed before accepting the work; submitting the form does not confirm that every model can be restored.

How should I arrange shipping to the studio?

Do not send models before agreeing the commission. We will confirm receipt arrangements and suitable packaging for their fragility. Give your city and country so we can assess transport; no full address is needed for the initial enquiry.

Can you work towards a particular date?

Include it in your enquiry. The wait before starting and the painting time are different and depend on workload and scope. Rush work requires availability and an agreed surcharge.
