I'm pretty sure I've seen your 'Sharon' build-up.

It doesn't make any sense if any person who can lift an airbrush should charge like a pro just to keep up with the tide.

Maybe someone's jealous of those who can afford to charge low, enjoy the kit-building without worrying about putting food on the table...

And are those not just the basics?
By doing those one is simply earning the name "kit builder", it does not justify the price of a kidney.

If your good enough to paint a kit or statue and produce a quality piece ,then Its up to the person what he charges to paint. Now if your like me and can't paint a straight line then your looking for the best quality without having to pay a arm and leg. When you go to a dealership to buy a car if the same car is acorss the street maybe another color 3,000 less you don't stay and pay more you go across the street.
