I have come to enjoy painting and the game but did not believe I could do justice to centerpiece models like Primarchs or special characters or units. Based on the his industry reputation, I engaged Chris Burch at Scattershot painting for commissions on Corax in May of 2016 and Angron/Kharn and Red Butchers in July of 2016. Again based on his industry reputation, I paid Chris in full up front and we agreed on when he would complete the work. As of the time I am writing this, I have only received Corax (without the base). I have paid Chris Burch over $700 for work yet to be completed and have received nothing from him. He has not communicated with me unless I query him and he has missed multiple deadlines that he himself chose. At this point, I do not believe I will ever see my money or completed models. I have received nothing from Scattershot Painting beyond excuses and broken promises. I believe Chris is a competent commission painter. He has not, however, treated me or the money I have sent him with respect. He clearly has time to open a hobby shop and seems to have prioritized that over completing work for which he has already been paid. I understand Chris is going through a tough time personally and professionally. I have offered to be flexible and allow him to choose when and how he completes my commission or refunds my money. He has missed each and every deadline he chose. I can only conclude he lacks credibility and integrity and the personal issues he cites are excuses to cover for his other business issues. In short, I do not believe he is trustworthy. At this point, I simply want a refund or my commission completed to the standard I know Chbris is capable of. _I HAVE SAVED EVERY WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE I HAVE HAD WITH CHRIS. I WILL PROVIDE THE TOTALITY OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS UPON REQUEST IF YOU BELIEVE MY POINT OF VIEW IS WRONG OR OVERLY JUDGMENTAL. _ Email me at the address from which you received this communication. I am writing you as an influential member of the 30k/40k community to let you know of my experience. I am fortunate that I have the means to get my commissions done by other more reliable sources. I am sure, however, that many other people won't be able to pay Scattershot Painting and, after never seeing their money again, just have another commission painter take care of their commission. I am not writing you because I expect you to do anything to help me. I am writing you because your position in the Warhammer 30k community may cause another hobbyist to ask you for commission painting advice. If you are asked, I would urge you to tell them this: People should know that if you give money to Chris Burch or Scattershot painting, you should not expect to ever see your money again or the commission you paid for. Thanks for reading,

  Robert R. asked:

  Is there anyone near lansing that does commission painting? I'm not looking for high quality. Just something simple and cheap. I dislike painting and would rather pay someone else to do it and I'm not expecting anything better than what I would do and I'm not a very good painter. :P
