Hugh Laurie as House Custom Headsculpt by Chris Howes Interest Thread

[KBA]

Here are some of my shots of my possible bash. Please forgive the yellow tones . My other 1/6 suit jackets are at another location right now, so I'm using the saturday toys one. In these photos you'll see what I like about it, and what I don't. And, depending on the final size of Chris' sculpt, I might just end up using this jacket.

No water treatment here yet, just a little futzing. Also, the left hand is from Sideshow's bespin han. I don't have my Hot Toys black hands painted yet, so I'm using these. I had to dremel the peg holes, so they stick out farther than they should. Just something to note.

As you can see, Ada's sculpt is extremely small. The Bespin Han sculpt is pretty big compared to other sculpts too. This jacket fits that head perfectly, but depending on the final size of Mr Howes' sculpt, it might end up looking a little large.

Looks great KBA!

Yeah, I have been a bit concerned about the head size too. I hope it isnt on the small side. The shoulders on the Saturday Toys suit are pretty wide.

 

[KBA]

Thank you sir! I really can't imagine Chris' work coming out the size of Ada's House head, which is good for everybody no matter what clothes they are using

 

[carbo-fation]

Looks good KBA! I like the sneakers but they aren't quite House like. I don't even know if anyone makes those types of athletic sneakers.

 

[KBA]

Actually, if I repaint the shoes black, or another color combination, they will become show accurate!

Looks good KBA! I like the sneakers but they aren't quite House like. I don't even know if anyone makes those types of athletic sneakers.

They match that DVD cover fairly well though.

Looks great KBA! Definately something I'm aiming to put together. I ended up winning a Two-face suit jackt last night so my House might end up having a great jacket instead of black, but seeing as he wore a grey one last night, I'll take it as a sign

 

[KBA]

Did you guys notice he wasn't wearing sneakers last show? He had dress shoes on! Ah! Must be some kind of metaphor in there, just like pain kicking his ass even more because of his relationships.

Buttmunch, that jacket, if it's anything like the BR one should be a great middle of the road type, between sat toys and the ACI fit wise.

 

[carbo-fation]

You're right. It does look great but I would still like the athletic type. As far as the jacket, I have a brown ACI jacket for house. Still looking for a light blue dress shirt and a nice pair of jeans.

 

[King Darkness]

I think the shoes look fine, don't listen to carbo, he is usually drunk posting.

 

[siquisiri]

I used a the buck body, with a resevoir dogs blacket suit jacket and shirt. Its a nice tight fit and looks good with the ada sculpt

 

[KBA]

Well carbo, here's those pesky expensive james dean jeans again if you're interested..

Try store-rooms. I bought these a while ago, and am in the process of making them look like the season 3 orange/grey nimbus shoes:

Or some grey ones:

Or even New Balance, but I don't think they'd be House's bag IMO:

KBA, dude, you're awesome!

Yeah, I did notice that! Weird! I was studying his outfit for the custom, and the shoes really surprised me!

I'm assuming the ACI is the best looking one, but the guy selling them disapeared. Got any more links? I'm probably going to grab some of those shoes you linked to. Thanks for those

EDIT: Oh, the James Dean jeans guy is him. Never mind. Still, what do you think of the ACI jacket?

 

[Buttmunch]

Grabbed that second pair of shoes from Storerooms. I seem to recall House wearing something very similar to them. If not, they look House enough to me.

I tried to buy it but the system won't let me. 7toys7 is still suspended from ebay and I guess this website is still somehow associated with ebay.

The second pair is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I think it's great! I ordered it from 7toys7 after KBA showed us his kitbash. Fits really well on a TruType. It is also brown which is how I always envision House when I think of his character and his attire on the show.

I emailed storerooms asking if the shoes fit on an HT TrueType feet. I hope it works.

Relax, Wilson would still be months away I'm sure. Plenty of time. Best of luck with your truck though. Brakes tend to be important every so often.

I'd absolutely be down for Wilson. I'd want the sculpt to look more like he does now, though- not super skinny like season 1.

Man, great minds! That's the jacket I'm using, too!

 

[carbo-fation]

After thinking about it, I am glad I didn't pull the trigger on the HT jeans. Instead I went with the Saturday toys prison break out fit (https://cgi.ebay.com/1-6-SATURDAY-T...ptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116).

Now I don't have to worry about an undershirt either.

Just to put it into perspective for those who are shying away from the James Dean jeans:

If you buy this at 30.99 USD

https://www.7toys7.com/servlet/the-953/HOT-TOYS-1-fdsh-6-M/Detail
and this at 4.50 USD

https://www.7toys7.com/servlet/the-27/HOT-TOYS-1-fdsh-6-M/Detail

The total with 5.50 USD shipping is 40.99 compared to the exact same price of 40.99 USD (32.99 + 8 SH) this would cost you:

https://cgi.ebay.com/1-6-SATURDAY-T...ptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

I'm sure you can find a cheaper white generic shirt too on that site. So it's the exact same price.


**EDIT and creech is right though, you do get the extra belt, and socks. And boots and jacket. Either bash looks fantastic IMO, it's just funny the jeans and shirt run for the same price on both.
