Before you reserve
How commissions work
Complete the intake
Tell us about the model, scale, lighting, finish, registry, and any special configuration.
Pay the deposit
The $300 reservation deposit secures the selected month and is credited toward your project.
Ron reviews it
Ron checks feasibility, kit availability, materials, electronics, printing, and estimated labor.
Receive your quote
Modelwerks sends an individualized quote. You have 72 hours to approve it.
Your build stays booked
Once approved, the project remains on the selected production calendar. Any additional materials payment will be stated in the quote.
Pricing and payment
What the deposit does
The $300 reservation deposit is credited toward the final price. The balance, shipping, and any approved additional charges must be paid before the completed model ships.
Projects requiring unusually costly kits, prints, aftermarket components, electronics, or specialty materials may require an additional materials payment after quote approval.
Feasibility and cancellation
What happens after review
If Modelwerks determines that the requested project is not feasible, the $300 deposit will be refunded in full.
If you decline the quote within the 72-hour review period and no materials have been ordered or work has begun, the deposit will be refunded less a $75 consultation and calendar-reservation fee. Once the quote is approved, materials are ordered, or work begins, the reservation deposit is nonrefundable.
Production timing
Built carefully, not recklessly
Completion dates are estimates rather than hard guarantees. Custom builds can uncover print failures, damaged or ill-fitting kit parts, material delays, electrical problems, or engineering issues that cannot be responsibly rushed.
Complex builds may remain in production beyond their starting month. The selected variant reserves the month the project is scheduled to enter the workshop.
The official booking rule
Past Ron cannot book Future Ron
Only reservations completed through this official Modelwerks commission page secure production time. Discussions through social media, email, conventions, private messages, or the general vicinity of Ron do not constitute a booking.
A quote is not a booking. A verbal conversation is not a booking. “Ron said he could probably do it” is absolutely not a booking.
That keeps everyone on the same page. Creative people are frequently optimistic about future time. Then Future Ron gets mugged by Past Ron’s promises.
