Those are great. I hope Chris takes a peek at those for reference.
Payment and email order sent.
I'd prefer the cane with the straighter, L-shaped handle. It's not all that difficult to find a 1:6 cane with the standard, semicircular handle.

Any canes?
No cane, I have some other projects in mind =) Thanks though!

Those who are confident and like my work and who know they really want their Hugh Laurie head please do pay as you can. The money that comes in helps me prioritize my many commissions. I reward enthusiasm!
I understand the reticence if you've never dealt with one of my heads before, so if you feel you must hold off until you see it, that's OK. After all, it's your Hard Earned Money!
But keep in mind, I've never yet had someone send back a head because they are dissatisfied. I always try to make sure my work exceeds people's expectations. And you'd be hard pressed to find someone who works harder than me to please his customers.
Take, for example, my Robert Downey Jr, Tony Stark head, the first custom I offered here. There was no complaint about the likeness, everyone was satisfied with that. But as the heads got to the customers, there was some concern about the size. Some folks thought it a bit too big. So, what did I do? I resculpted the head at a new size and EVERYONE who ordered the original head got a FREE newly sized head as well. That's how I handle things. The quality of my work is an obsession with me.
Satisfied customers are very important to me. So, you can rest assured when you prepay me I do my utmost to make sure your investment is well spent.
And, should the event occur that you get it and hate it( 
), just send it back to me and I'll refund your money!So, please do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
Yep! As soon as you are able. I've got the rough done and if we can get the orders in I can get him really going. Several have already come in, thank you! I will get a chart of orders together shortly which I will post to keep things organized.
So, those of you on the list, and anyone else who still wants to get on board, please send me an official order email to [email protected] with the subject of "House" that includes:
1) screen name
2) real name
3) shipping address
4) quantity of heads
5) quantity of canes
6) drilled neck option, Yes or No
Please send payment to my PayPal address, [email protected].
To recap, the precast discount is $20.00 per head, $15.00 per cane, $5.00 if you want the drilled neck option, $5.00 US shipping for up to 4 pieces (any combo of heads and canes), $7.00 international.
So, as an example, one head with drilled neck and cane to USA = $20.00 + $15.00 + $5.00 + $5.00 = $45.00
One head with drilled neck and cane to International destination = $20.00 + $15.00 + $5.00 + $7.00 = $47.00
Adjust as needed!
I design and drill the head to work specifically with a Hot Toys Truetype small neck joint (though I am currently developing my own resin neck joint) but it should work with other joints, like Dragon's.
When the head and cane are done and go to molding and casting the discount period ends and the the full price goes into effect: $35.00 per head, $20.00 per cane. So be sure to keep tabs on the progress. I'll announce the discount end date after I show final photos so there will be a short time period for any stragglers to get the deal!
Thank you to everyone for making this commission come together so fast!
PAINTING ANNOUNCEMENT!
Kuato, the very talented painter, has kindly offered to help out with painting all my commissions!
That's a lot . Please check out his work on my Joker heads here.
To keep from driving him crazy with overload on discounts, this is how it will work.
Kuato will offer a fantastic discount of only $30.00 plus shipping per head for the FIRST 10 ORDERS of each of my commissions. after the first 10 orders, his regular price of $45.00 plus shipping per head comes back into effect.
So, we will need to set up a list, first come, first served, to get the discount and post discount paint services of Kuato.
The paint transaction will be a separate transaction directly with kuato. Payment details will be announced once we get a list filled up! If you get in line for the FIRST 10 DISCOUNT then drop out later, the list will move up and whoever was next in line at the FULL PRICE will be bumped up to the FIRST 10 DISCOUNT.

I'll be happy to keep a painting list updated for you guys. Just let me know how I am effected.
OK. I updated the first post with the new Kuato painting options.
I've put those on the painting list that have asked or expressed interest in the past few pages. I put a ? next to those that asked about a painted version, but didn't say for sure they wanted it. Please let me know if there are any inaccuracies!

Gotcha.
Quick question Chris/Kuato, does the painting price include the cane? Or just the head?

More grab it by the nads and get it done actions. Thanks for the updates, organisation, and astounding professionalism of this commission. I'll be sending you the email and money shortly Chris. 
That was my standard announcement for heads.... didn't think about the cane for this one.
Tell you what...... since cane painting is pretty easy (no flames, that is) I'll include standard cane paint job for anyone who ordered a cane free of charge. That way we won't gum up things for Kuato so he can concentrate on the important bits.
Looking at the sale of things, I think the flames wold be a rather difficult prospect. Let me look into what it would take, but I have a feeling it might not look so hot at such a small scale.

Just thought I'd bump that up to save people, like me
, wondering what that option was again.- Status
