Possible commision thread for Spock, Kirk and Mc Coy by Chris Howes!

[galactiboy]

Yes, but my wallet's name is "cheapass mofo", so we kind of balance each other out

 

[samueljd]

With a name like Galactiboy shouldn't astronomy be right up your alley?

Good point.

I understood everyone's concern. Here are the reasons why I still don't have a price for these uniforms and accessories:

I only paid for the samples because if no one wants them I still have one set of Top Quality TOS for myself. Please remember, I am just like everyone here.
I do not intend to make a profit within this post.
I want to keep the price as close to the cost as possible (at least for those who bought the heads), not mark up as high as possible.
I do not know the final qualities of these items (I only see pictures of accessories, not to mention uniforms).
The most troublesome part is shipping oversea. If I have friends coming from HongKong, then I don't need to factor in oversea shippings (this can be expensive with insurance and such.) There are special rules for shipping LARGE quantities of magnets because they are consider as ACTIVE materials.

I don't want to tell you a price and ended up raising it later because I don't want to end up loosing money. TOS suppose to be a fun project. I hate to be ^^^^^ed at and I don't earn a living with this.

When I have the final "producable" prototypes in my HAND, then I will know how much they cost and start worrying about shipping.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't want to say is 50, then 55, then 60, then 65, then 70, then 80, then 100. If this happens, I will end up being bxtched at.

That's fair, since it sounds like you're trying to keep the price down. As long as they're comparable in price to similar things in the 1/6th world I don't think you'll have any trouble finding takers.

 

[samueljd]

I've been in this since the beginning. Your attention to detail has been great nanjin, I will support you in this endeavor. I'd be happy to have great quality Star Trek uniforms and accessories. I appreciate your trying to keep the costs down.

I am also very interested in accurate 1/6 scale Star Trek TOS outfits and accessories. I plan on paying Chris soon for one unpainted head of Kirk, Spock and McCoy. I support you too nanjin! Thanks again for all of your hard work and dedication to this project. I hope to be able to get the outfits and accessories from you once they're ready.

 

[abake]

Nanjin, your labour of love is something amazing!
I'm looking forward to these sets.

Just tried to PM Chris to ask why he was not updating us on these sculpts as they are 2 weeks overdue without an explanation but his PM box is full, and he has not been here for over a week.

 

[galactiboy]

I think all of his projects are facing delays at this point. Not worried about him getting them done, but it will take some time.

I too expected as much. He is in such demand these days and I know he is steadily working on all his projects. You can tell from some of the stuff that he has in progress.

 

[SpawnFan]

Yeah but still, he needs to keep us updated on this project no matter how busy he is.

 

[thecapn]

Sent him an email on Monday about getting on the heads list...he never responded. I hope he does, I really want on the list!

 

[samueljd]

I hope Chris chimes in. He hasn't commented in any of the custom thread for a couple weeks now. I hope it's because he's been so busy completing commissions.

 

[nanjin]

Chris must be extremely busy. I want to see some samples of these sculpts.

Anyway, I really appreciate thecapn's help on getting all those blueprints for the accessories. With his help, the accessories will have a lot more details when I post newer pictures next time.

Great new! I'm looking forward to seeing the finishing touches on the accessories.

No problem
Happy to help make this as good as possible! All of those blueprints were not made by me, but were a collaberation of a LOT of Trek prop fans...so you know that they're as accurate as they can be. Even better than anything Paramount ever put out!

How true, Trek fans take their stuff seriously.

 

[thecapn]

Ha yeah, you're right. The Communicator one was a closed project with a bunch of fans who got their hands on an original, but the phaser was open to everyone, you should've seen the nitpicking! I think it's as perfect as it can be though.

I have to tell you guys, even though we haven't seen these in person, I'm already spoiled. I picked up the Diamond Select Ultimate Quarter Scale Spock, and the accessories look awful! I can't wait for this project to come to fruition!

Well... Too Bad, your 12" will have something good to play around with, but not you!
