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

[samueljd]

Thanks nanjin! I hope the situation work out with the gold color. It looks like we will have our dream of a great set up TOS head and uniforms and accessories to go with them.

 

[yodasan]

So who is going to do the painting?

 

[samueljd]

I think Chris might be doing the paintwork. He has the painted price listed on his Website.

 

[icruise]

I think that's just a remnant from when Kuato was going to be painting them, but presumably if he has been taking payment for painting he will either need to refund that or find another painter.

No, he added that himself. He never took payment for the paintwork that Kuato was slated to do. Chris specifically said that he would wait until Kuato was definitely on board and have him handle taking payment for the paintwork. In fact Chris had been doing the paint applications himself on his "House" HS, and it looks like he'll possibly be doing the same on the Star Trek HS.

Wondering if Chris is doing the sculpts. Really want to see how they have improved. Seeing those SFM sculpt pictures makes me want to buy another set of ST sculpts.

I need your list, Chris!

The two WIP sculpts of Bones and Kirk look very very promising, so I wouldn't worry too much. Only thing is, it'll take longer than just going with the SFM sculpts.
I ordered Spock from SFM just to get my Star Trek fix, but seeing the WIP sculpts by Chris, I'm glad I have all three paid for.

I like the SFM Spock... but it still looks a little off to me. I do like their Kirk though.

Dude, they are even better in person!! Its like multible universes will be crashing altogether in the same form!!! More Trek!! One can never go wrong with more!!

 

[samueljd]

Has anyone confirmed if Chris will be doing the paintwork or not?

 

[nanjin]

Mr. Howes, please send me the list of those who purchased your sculpts. I really need the list.

 

[Reinhardt]

Chris, when you send your list to nanjin, please include me as well. I paid a few weeks ago, but it isn't updated on your list on the first page (even after refreshing). thanks!

 

[tjg]

Chris-
When you send the list to Nanjin can you post it here as well? I did some order-switching, as you may recall, and I'd just like to make sure we're on the same page. I'm sure there are others who would like confirmation of their payments, as well.
Thanks in advance.

 

[abake]

Yeah, I'm still showing up as not having paid...

 

[yodasan]

I just put in my order for all three sculpts so want to get on the list for uniforms.

 

[C.Howes_Sculptor]

Hey guys, I'll have an updated list shortly, Don't worry, all should be accounted for!!

Been trying to work out a wrinkle in things that I'll post about in a moment.

 

[C.Howes_Sculptor]

Hey Guys,

As some of you probably now know, Kuato, due to personal reasons, is unable to help us paint these heads as originally planned. That leaves us with something of a dilemma.

However, I think we can solve this with a minimum of hassle. Josh of Small Studios has agreed to help with some of my commissions and I, with the help of my very talented wife, Kim, will be able to paint some, too. Here is an example of some of my painting I just did for the Hugh Laurie House commission:

This has met with general approval. Hopefully, all of you will like it, too!

Kuato was going to offer a discounted price to the first 10 heads he painted. To make up for the change, I'll offer a discounted price to everyone who wants me to paint theirs.

Meanwhile, if you would rather have Josh paint yours, please contact him directly and work it out, then let me know before these start to ship.

I will add a paint option to the purchase page sometime today so you can arrange to have me paint your heads.

Also, if you have other heads (mine or anybody else's) you want painted, let me know. We are going to be setting up an assembly line of heads to be painted and I can always add a few more here and there. It's pretty efficient when I have multiples to paint and saves time and effort to set them up like that. Might as well take advantage of that!

 

[C.Howes_Sculptor]

OK, new purchase page is up here: STAR TREK HEADS

Little sloppy, but it will serve the purpose! New buttons are at the bottom to purchase painting for a set or for an individual head. The existing painted head buttons have been updated to reflect the new discounted paint price.

Let me know if there is any confusion! Thanks, guys....

 

[lforigno]

Chris I have sent you multiple emails because your PM box is full and have not heard anything back from you. Will you please contact me regarding canceling orders and refunds. thanks

 

[Reinhardt]

Thanks Chris. Regarding my House, I am going to have it painted by Josh at Small Studios. Same with all 3 Star Trek heads. Thanks!
