Excellent help, costumeball, thank you! I'll be taking these into account while painting the rest of the heads. I acquired a few new shades of paint to help with more accurate hair color.....

Interesting to here about Triad. Let's see what they come up with!

Cool Chris! I might be interested in having you paint my House as one of the later ones, to see what new twist you add to it. Post some progress pics soon, so we can see what your doing with the second round.

Here is mine. A little less traditional pose, but I think you can all tell what he is doing. Plus it hides his current likeness.

Also an alterante shirt and jacket for either Barbie time or a second House figure:

Its great. I thought it was a little too small when I got it, but when the second to last episode of House aired this season (when House was de-toxing) I saw his pill bottle is actually one of the smaller sized ones, so this one is just the right size

But it may be an absolute accessory for next season House...

I finally got my James Dean jeans for House. Now I just need the finished HS and cane and House will be complete.

There are so many Brokeback Mountain jokes for that James Dean right now

I know, but I ripped the pants off the figure the second I opened to put on House.

 

[KBA]

Oh man that pantsless James Dean looks hilarious

 

[C.Howes_Sculptor]

Holey Moley, put some pants on that man!

I played around with some changes on my paint proto, taking into account all the good advice and the great photos that costumeball so kindly manipulated.

So, here is House version 2, first in small format to give the feel of close to the actual size:

And closeups!

It feels better to me. I'm getting ready to line 'em up and start painting!

[KBA]

[Brand X]

That's excellent, I can't wait until he's in hand! Now I just need to pick up a few more items to complete my House...

 

[carbo-fation]

Great work, Chris. You nailed the likeness.

 

[bwayne]

I like it!!!

 

[Buttmunch]

That looks 10 times beter Chris and I thought it looked great the first time!

 

[samueljd]

The finished product looks perfect Chris. I'm going to send payment now, so I can have it shipped as soon as your down with the new lineup.

 

[Husker75]

Thank you guys! I'm so glad you all approve!

And thank you for the comments, I couldn't have done it without you all. That's what I love about collaboration. Everyone gets a chance to have a part in the process and we end up with extra good stuff.

If anyone else is thinking about a paint job, now would be a good time! I want to set up the assembly line ASAP. It's cool if you order one later, but I'm trying to be as efficient as possible by getting as many of them going at once as I can.
