Hugh Laurie as House Custom Headsculpt by Chris Howes Interest Thread

[darkchylde80]

Yikes, the shipping to me is going to be $30 for that pill bottle.

Are there any good accessory suppliers in the UK?

Altered the pants to make the legs thinner and painted the shoes.

Wow perfect! Mind sharing the checklist to your bash? I mainly interested in the overcoat, shirt and jeans. thanks in advance

Okay, House-philes, remember that itty bitty Rx bottle on eBay? The vendor finally got them in, though apparently it just doesn't pay to sell such inexpensive items on eBay. They have to be ordered from the vendor's own site, which is at https://www.dejouxminiatures.com. Enter FR21141 in the search field. They're $2.50.

This is a Hot Toys TrueType hand:

Seems about the right size to me....

Hey Chris are you sure this place sells the same pill bottle you have?

Cause this is the pic they have up on their site.

btw I want to get on board for a cane and painted hs!

Suit coat and blue shirt: Saturday Toys, sold out everywhere I know where to look, best bet ebay.


White shirt and pants:Saturday Toys, also sold out. It was the prison break costume, I cant find a pick anywhere, sorry.
EDIT: FOUND PICTURE

Good luck.

To the Incredible Mr. Howes,

Although the progress pictures were insightful to the process, it is like knowing how the magician's tricks work. Now that I know it had nothing to do with Santa Claus annd/or the Easter Bunny, I feel disillusioned.

PAY NO ATTETION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!

That's actually quite good indeed; I bought the same suit, but in grey for my HT Two face...

 

[costumeball]

So I got a HT Harvey Dent suit jacket off of eBay, and the gray looks much more House-y for me than the blue (ACI?) jacket that was on previously, although it fits more snugly and has like more padded shoulders, so I had to cut the sleeves off the "t-shirt" to have everything fit more naturally.

Still haven't painted the shoes to be show accurate since I still am not sure which ones I want to emulate, but my headless House is coming along nicely.

And I'm still not giving up hope for a backpack eventually.
I can't believe that there's never been one made!

Also, any suggestions for his long overcoat?

 

[aussieinnyc]

Not involved in this commission at all, but love seeing the in-progress shots. If I can add one bit of feedback it's that the mole under his right eye in your sculpt seems to be closer to 7 o'clock in relation to the centre of his eye. In the picture of Laurie it looks closer to 5 o'clock to me.

 

[KBA]

On the biker jacket commission front, Sovereign Studios will not get back to me. I've tried PM'ing him twice on details on starting a commission thread for it but haven't heard back in well over a month so I'm assuming he's just too busy for this project. I'll be sending another customizer a pm, see if he's interested in doing the jacket so we're not giving up just yet!

 

[knucklefunger]

KBA great idea. I know a guy that is doing some amazing work for me:
Straker turtleneck & jumpsuit
Omega-Man track suit (loved that scene most)
Six Million Dollar Man leisure suit ( oh God, yes, a poochie 70's suit)

I'll email him Friday & see is he has the time to do a few up. How many people would be up for the bike jacket? Any reference shots? Please

 

[King Darkness]

Blind Voyeur does excellent costume work too.

Might shoot him a PM KBA.

 

[Buttmunch]

Depening on the price, I would probably be up for the biker jacket. I can see House being our Barbie. We will be constantly changing he clothes

 

[darkchylde80]

Price dependant I would be down for a biker jacket. Managed to find a sweet 1/6 Honda will need a repaint but had to be done

Great minds, king. That's who got the PM

Actually, Santa and The Easter Bunny (we just call him "B") are sitting on my couch playing with my Wii right now while I work. They won't leave. Got the munchies, too.

How ya doing, Jack? Welcome aboard.

payment sent!

I got the miniature pill bottle today. It really does look great. A little on the small side, but it gets the job done.

so it looks better than the pic they used to advertise the bottle on the site? can you take some shots of it?

Yes, it looks just like the one Gruff posted a few pages back

My camera isn't good at close ups of small things so his pic is better than anything I could take, but it looks just like this. Much nicer looking than their pic on the site.
