Hugh Laurie as House Custom Headsculpt by Chris Howes Interest Thread

[creecher]

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

Nor the socks nor belt.

 

[samueljd]

My main concern is which outfit looks and fits better. The Saturday Toys outfit? Or the James Dean jeans? I know the James Dean clothes are fitted for a TT, so I'm leaning more towards them. Any opinions?

 

[KBA]

Well, King Darkness showed you what you can achieve with a little water treatment on the saturday toys pants. He did a fantastic job.

The cowboy james dean jeans' quality level is just insane. They're incredibly well made, I like the tighter fit of them. I have a feeling I'll even like the darker rebel without a cause pair even more when they arrive for my second house kit bash.

It all depends. Check out Kings photos, and mine too.

You can get the Saturday Toys suit from here for $29 and you will get the pants and shirt:

I think they work fine:

BUMP!!:chew

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:

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.

Dammit KBA, thanks for making me look silly. Here I thought I got a good deal.

Here's another combination. This is the James Dean RWAC darker jeans, with the Joker Bank Robber suit coat and a set of shoes from store-rooms that are in the process of being modded. I like the jeans. They are pretty dark, but they come with those pant creases King Darkness achieved on his bash, nice touch.

The James Dean pants do look great! The have a more natural fit, but I am more than happy with the Saturday Toys pants.

I think either way you choose to go you will be happy.

Thnx for the props KBA


And awesome pix!!!!!

I like the dark pants and joker suit coat!!!!!

 

[creecher]

You can't go far wrong. House wore different shirts, coats, pants, sneakers. You can go as close to accurate as you want, or not, and still have a great House figure at the end of the day. I love seeing all the headless figures so far. It's like the Kurgan has been visiting. Very well done guys.

 

[King Darkness]

It's like the Kurgan has been visiting.

100% true Rick, you can do a lot with this figure and make a kick ass bash!

 

[carbo-fation]

Great pics, KBA! I do prefer the lighter James Dean jeans though.

 

[KBA]

Thanks for comments guys

Yeah, they definitely are dark, but not as dark as the pictures suggest. The 7toys7 image of them sums them up pretty well

 

[samueljd]

I think I'll go with the James Dean Cowboy jeans. From the pics with the JD Red Jacket jeans, I can tell I like the fit. The more faded look and design of the JD Cowboy jean looks like what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, that version of the jeans is hard to come by, so I'll probably just have to buy the figure.

 

[Reinhardt]

KBA is the man when it comes to accessorizing your House figure!!

the James Dean jeans are amazing in my opinion. They are expensive and yes, hard to come by, but if you can find them, pull the trigger - you won't regret it.

 

[siquisiri]

Heres my Dr. House (until the Howe sculpt arrives, that is!)
- I used a SST body
- Ada sculpt
- storerooms dark bluse jeans
- SST resevoir dogs shirt and jacket
- Tennis shoes?? Had them in a bin, ill replace them later.

Hope you enjoy........

Hopefully Mr. Howes will makes the noggin pretty good sized.

Hugh Laurie, like a lot of actors, has kind of a big head, doesn't he?

 

[KBA]

I think we'll be fine as long as Howes' House head is bigger than Ada's. It's the size of a pea, super super small.

 

[thainer]

I have a dilemma. I have a dark grey shirt like House wears a lot but it is made to be closed and the buttons are on the wrong side not to mention the fact that it has snaps. I wanted the shirt to be open which means I would have to move the buttons and move the snaps. I also have a Barrack Obama DID white shirt with real buttons. Which shirt do I use? I am using a Dragon Michael Chan jacket (grey) and Dragon SDU Sniper jeans.

 

[Buttmunch]

I'd put all of the costume together and just see what you think looks best. The nice thing is you don't have to keep anything permanent. You could change House's outfit as you wish, and using different combinations of shirts and jackets you could have many different looks for him.

And man, this has been picking up quite a few followers recently. About 3 more people in three days! We are almost at 30 people now!

I think any sort of tease would be welcome now Chris. I think we'd even take the back of his head right now

Tease? How about this? Over the next few hours I'll be making a few posts with a series of photos entitled "How to build a House"....... Just got to get organized through the cold medicine induced haze.....
