How much does it usually cost to have someone make a model?

Out of curiosity, how much do modelers usually charge for, say, a single model? Like, a photo-realistic airplane or a car.

Usually, the pay is per-hour, not per model.

But there prices kinda depend on where you live…

You should not really look at the prices of Turbosquid to see what price is fair. Those models are expected to be sold multiple times. When you order a custom figure, the modeler will only get paid once, by you, so the price should naturally be higher.
