All models in this page look good because they are "contract-out models", meaning I didn't assemble and paint them myself, but let hired professionals do the job for me (I have been hiring two professionals). Although it's me who set the prices, I believe both of them are more than satisfied. I'll try to give the name to all pictures which are already in numerical order, and the prices I pay- so as to give you some ideas of the situation of model prices and hiring prices in Thailand, as follows:

1. 4 sets of Military Figures. Cost of contruction of each set = 300 Baht (US$ 8)
