[teabelly83]

[Agent47]

That looks awesome. Did you replace the little red balls with something translucent? They look like clear plastic.

nick did it for me, they are LED lights on the cycltron instead of just being painted red!!!! makes it much more realistic right??!. the power cell blue light is plstic too, u cant see it in the pics but it shines blue in the light, looks far more cooler!!

 

[Kuzeh]

That pack is really nice!! Wow!!

 

[teabelly83]

That pack is really nice!! Wow!!

thanks kuzeh!! yeah when i got it the other day with the trap i just couldnt stop looking at it. the detail is amazing. and it looks so weathered and dusty in person. awsome!

thanks again!

 

[knucklefunger]

I'm staggered by the detail. Can't wait to get one, hopefully. As long as enough people show interest in it

Hey everyone!
My secret life as an assassin kept me busy for a bit with not enough time to respond to things recently, so let me play catch-up here now:

Teabelly- OMG, your pack ROCKS, brother! Awesome work there!!!!!!!!

Craw- Niiiiice outfit and equip goin on there, man!

I really friggin hate doing tech stuff, so even though I already bought Nicks awesome packs, all the assembly makes my eyes cross so I just may take the lazy-mans way out and just buy those Mattel 12"s for their equipment depending on their price once it's announced.

Knucklefunger- I'm collecting payments for all 4 of the boys. $25 a head. $5 if you want the neck drilled by Chris. $5 shipping per different head since they'll be done at different times (multiples don't cost extra up to 5 of each character.) I'll PM ya with my paypal addy if ya lost it soon since I don't want the spambots or Nicaraguan Lottery People getting a hold of it by posting it on here (laugh).

Will update everyone wants/names to the lists tonight.

[William Shatners Toupee]

I'm interested in this!
I'd be down for:
1 Venkman regular
1 Stanz
1 Zeddemore GB1
1 Spengler GB1

and Maybe
1 Tully....

Any updates on estimated timelines?
How much is it for getting the heads painted?

I haven't sourced out a particular painter for this project, so no quotes until then.

Timeline estimates:

RAY- Ray was a hairs breadth away from being done a while ago, so no idea where Chris is on him now. I know he's been juggling a lot and was dog sick for awhile, so he'll have to pop on and say himself for that.

Peter/Winston/Egon timeline-
This thread has positively grown and flourished and we have more than enough people wanting them to warrent making them. To pay Chris to start sculpting them however, we need approx 17 payments per character in at $25 each, (which covers the commissioning fee and casting costs per head), which we have never gotten yet, so other commissions on the boards have gotten ahead on his list of things to do that have paid.

I paid Rays initial commission to get it all rolling back when there were only a few payments in. If you look at the list below, you can see where we are for payments on each head by the asterick which designated "paid" next to it.

Remember, we need 17 paids per character:

Now, do I expect a lot of payments for the other guys to start happening once Ray is debuted? Definitely. And once they are, Chris can be paid to start those heads (hopefully all of them at once) and they can be added to his "to do" list. So my best estimate? Late Summer/Fall. It's always been a race between all the various commissions to pay theirs first to get ahead on his gi-normous worklist.

So, if you see Chris making all four Golden Girls heads soon and you're scratching your heads asking, "Why the %$@! is he doing Bea Arthur first before our Ghostbusters?", it's because no matter how much YOU love, live, and breathe Ghostbusters, there was someone out there that loved Bea Arthur just a little bit more (That persons name would probably be KingGrayskull, but my lips are sealed!)

 

[Kuzeh]

So are you collecting the payments or Chris?
I can pay for a couple of them for starters!
PM please!!

 

[knucklefunger]

Ok, enough is enough. Lets forget about GB and do Golden Girls...

Just recognized that I did not pay you yet. Will check and hopefully do so this month otherwise I will have to wait until March (sorry). Will include money for the Golden Girls heads too. My estimates are that we will be enough to get the precast discount so I am sending 25 $ per head for the Girls...

 

[Hollis DZC]

Day-um, the things you miss when you're on cash induced sabbatical...lol

PAINTING
Alright, let me address painting again because it's been awhile:
When I talked to Kuato about painting the RE Milla heads, he said he personally wanted to be the painter for all of Chris' commissions, but it all came down to A) When they happened to get finished and B) what his workload was like at that particular moment to see if he could take it on.
He didn't want to quote price or take payments until he knew for sure what his workload was like and if he could do them.

Applying this to Ghostbusters, which is due to have Ray finished before Milla (in fact last I heard a while ago was that Ray was practically done), means we may very well be close to the point of asking him. Payments for painting would go directly to him, though, so it is not worked into the price cost the head.

Shipping is $5 per character, even internationally (we'd combine, but they naot all be getting completed at the same time).
-Rick

Just PM me for the paypal addy whenever anyone is ready to make a payment. :chew

 

[Hollis DZC]

Still open!

Wooooo-Hoooooo!! Right on!

Whenever paypal is required, just lmk, ready to send payment!

-Rex

 

[Cryoguns]

What has Chris been up to? He's been pretty quiet lately

Timeline estimates:

RAY- Ray was a hairs breadth away from being done a while ago, so no idea where Chris is on him now. I know he's been juggling a lot and was dog sick for awhile, so he'll have to pop on and say himself for that.

That must be a huge hair or it suffocated one... Any updates at all on this?? I was cleaning of my work bench today and saw my jumpsuits and packs from Nick and it got me wondering...
