The Milwaukee Paint Shop

I DONT EXPECT EVEYHTHING HERE WILL SUIT ALL TASTES.  THIS IS THE FANTASY PAGE.

  GO TAKE A LOOK AND SEE IF ANYTHING HERE INSPIRES YOU TO DESIGN YOUR OWN SPECIAL PROJECT. 

Some of the esamples below are in fact personal to the customer who ordered them.  I will repeat those only with their permission.  It is in fact more fun to just design something on your own which no one else will have.

I GET A LOT MORE REQUESTS FOR THIS SORT OF WORK THAN YOU MIGHT IMAGINE.  IF THIS IS UP YOUR ALLEY, YOU ARE IN GOOD COMPANY.  IF NOT, OH WELL IT IS NOT A MASS AUDIENCE PRODUCT BUT RATHER A SHOWCASE OF WHAT OTHERS LIKE AND WHAT IS POSSIBLE...  JUST ABOUT ANYTHING REALLY.

  I COMBINE MY TALENT AND VISIONS ALONG WITH YOUR DREAMS TO CREATE ONE OFF DESIGNS THAT BELONG TO YOU AND NO ONE ELSE.

  I HAVE THE LATEST ALPS PRINTER TO MAKE DECALS AS WELL AS A HIGH END LASER PRINTER FOR DECALS THAT DO NOT NEED THE ALPS TOUCH.

  NOT ONLY IS THIS FANTASY FORM A PAINT STANDPOINT BUT ALSO DESIGN YOUR OWN ENGINE TOO.  JUST BECAUSE IT IS NOT REAL DOES NOT MEAN IT CAN'T BECOME A MODEL.

  THIS PROCESS IS QUITE INVOLVED AND STARTS WITH DRAWINGS.  THAT CAN TAKE AS LONG AS IT NEEDS TO.  I ALMOST ENJOY DRAWING AS MUCH AS THE TASK OF BUILDING THIS STUFF.

  IF YOU HAPPEN TO ASK FOR THIS SORT OF WORK AS A FIRST PROJECT I WILL ASK FOR  A $100 RETAINER FEE UP FRONT.  100% OF THAT WILL APPLY TO THE PURCHASE OF THE PROJECT UPON COMPLETION.  THE MAIN THING HERE IS I DO NOT WANT SOMEONE COMING ALONG WHO WAS SIMPLY LOOKING FOR A DRAWING OF THEIR IDEA AND THEN LEAVES BEFORE A PROJECT IS COMPLETED.

  THERE IS NO SCENARIO WHERE A REFUND WILL BE ISSUED FOR MY DRAWING SERVICES

  IT WILL BE APPLIED IN FULL TO THE ACTUAL MODEL COST ONCE WE GET THAT FAR BUT IF YOU LEAVE WITH JUST DRAWINGS IN HAND, EXPECT IT WILL MEAN YOU JUST SPENT $100 FOR THAT SERVICE.

  MAYBE THAT IS ALL YOU WANT AND THAT IS FINE TOO.  I DO ENJOY DRAWING AND AS LONG AS I AM GETTING PAID TO DO IT, YOU MAY LEAVE WITH NOTHING MORE THAN DRAWINGS OF YOUR DREAM ENGINE.

  WARNING, THESE ARE NOT CHEAP AND ALL WILL BE TREATED AS "SPECIAL PROJECTS"  THAT MEANS ON THE CLOCK BILLING.  THIS IS SORT OF OPEN ENDED AS SOME THINGS ARE PRETTY SIMPLE AND WE CAN MAKE THAT CALL TOGETHER IF YOU FEEL IT SHOULD PERHAPS FIT THE SIMPLE PAINT ONLY PRICE OR FULL DETAIL PRICE STRUCTURE.  MOST OF IT WILL DEPEND ON HOW COMPLEX THE DESIGN IS AND HOW MUCH EFFORT IT REQUIRES FROM START TO FINISH

  THE $100 RETAINER WILL APPLY TO NEW CUSTOMERS ONLY.. SORRY!  I AM NOT DISCRIMINATING HERE BUT UNTIL A TRACK RECORD OF ACTUALLY ORDERING A PROJECT FROM ME IS ESTABLISHED, I MUST TREAT ALL SUCH REQUESTS AS SOMEONE WHO MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR A DRAWING ONLY.

  ONCE WE HAVE A FEW PROJECTS UNDER THE BELT AND WE KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER YOU MAY REQUEST ONE OF THESE AND I WILL HAVE SOME REASONABLE EXPECTATION YOU WILL IN FACT FOLLOW THROUGH SO NO "RETAINER" WILL BE REQUIRED.

  THERE IS NO REASON TO BE UP IN ARMS ABOUT THIS POLICY.  IF YOU REALLY TRULY WANT AN ENGINE LIKE THESE DISPLAYED HERE, YOU WILL KNOW IT AND THE $100 PAID UP FRONT WILL APPLY TO THE FINAL BILL FOR THE PROJECT.

HOW IT TAKES SHAPE

THERE IS LESS GUESSWORK HERE AND JUST A LOT OF IMAGINATION.

I CALL THIS PROCESS "IMAGINEERING".

WE WILL WORK TOGETHER ON THIS AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE ASPECTS OF WHAT I DO IS IN FACT FANTASY WORK AND THE PROCESS WHICH LEADS UP TO A PROJECT.

 FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO COME UP WITH A DESIGN YOU LIKE I WILL WORK ON DRAWINGS I WILL SUBMIT FOR YOUR APPROVAL.

  THIS WILL INVOLVE YOU SEEING DRAWINGS OF THE CONCEPT SO WE BOTH HAVE A GOOD IDEA WHERE THE PROJECT IS HEADED

CLICK ON THE GRAPHIC ABOVE TO SEE IT BIGGER.  THIS IS A SMAPLE OF HOW A PROJECT CONCEPT WILL BE OFFERED TO YOU BEFORE WE COMMIT ONE SPOT OF PAINT TO A REAL MODEL

THE GENERAL IDEA ON THIS DRAWING IF YOU ARE WONDERING IS "WHAT IF CN DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO WHAT UP HAS ALREADY DONE IN PAYING TRIBUTE TO FALLEN FLAGS THEY MERGED WITH OR BOUGHT OUT"
