Did BTP finish the project? Can you post comparison pics? Was BTP's pricing and quality similar?

Posting comparison pics would not be fair, regardless of my experience with BTP.
With Tom, his offer is doing his best work. With BTP, they have 7 levels of quality of which I was paying for a level 5 using their painting process, which they describe on their website.
I can say that, based on their quote sheet, a level 7 would have been 3 times as much as I paid for the minis from Tom, and based on the BTP painting process, Tom's quality is much better.
You are welcome to look at the BTP models here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bluetablepainting/sets/72157649025073731/
But like I said, these were to be a level 5 out of 7.
I would definitely use Tom Schadle Miniatures again!

Recently, Gately tried "making amends" with a disgruntled customer by offering false promises and pretty much threatening to charge the customer with law suits and other legal charges. Both sides have fair arguments. Gately just brings in a few lies and threats on top of poor delivery. Really ruined my image of BTP. Went from being an overpriced, poor, slow painting service to an overpriced, poor, slow, and combative painting service that is poorly managed.

Overall, I'd stick with Tom Schadle for an actually great paint job, relatively cheap (for the quality) costs, and being an overall amazing guy.
