Haywood Floyd Head Sculpt UPDATE:
The artist said he needs 50% of the $800.00 sculpting/mold making fee, ($400.00) plus 4.5% ($18.00) to cover PayPal transfer fees.
With seven people in the group at this time, I will need two payments of $75.14 from each buyer. One to begin the job in January, and one when the sculpt is finished. When the head castings are completed, it will cost another $150.00 for each fully painted head.
Note: I have 'commitments' from more than seven people, counting those here at the Sideshow Freaks Forum and at Facebook. However, some of them in both locations are elusive and very hard to contact. Therefore, they can't be relied on to participate in the sharing of the initial sculpting/mold making cost of $800.00- at least not quickly enough to insure that 1) we all share the pre-production cost equally, and 2) we claim the January commission slot before someone else does.
Because this process is turning out to be a bit like herding cats, only seven of us will be sharing the initial costs, then later, the elusive 'stragglers' may only have to pay the $150 for a painted head. It won't be perfectly fair to the seven of us who got the project moving, but I can't think of a solution to it. (demanding pre-production payments later from new buyers, and refunding 5% here and 3% there to the 'brave seven' would be a confusing nightmare.)
So: I am hereby requesting payments now, or as soon as possible, in the amount of $75.14 from each of you. I really want to claim the January sculpting slot, and not be forced to wait until summer 2023 or later. Your moneys will be held in my PayPal account until I have received all six payments, (together with my own portion.) When all the payments have arrived, they will be sent to the artist: '
UnleashedViper Commissions'. If too much time passes and I have not received enough payments to cover the $400.00 deposit, each of your payments will be returned to you, minus 4.5% transfer fees, and we can all use a
Malibu Barbie head inside our Clavius suits. I think that would look nice, don't you?
(4.5% of $75.14 is $3.48... $75.14 minus $3.48 =
$71.66. This is the amount that will be sent back to you if not enough payments come in to fund the project.)
Please send your payments of
$75.14 to my PayPal:
anthrapoid @ sbcglobal.net. (without the spaces)
Include a note titled "Haywood Floyd", with your Facebook name, your real name, your Sideshow Freaks name, and your physical shipping address. Also, send me a pm here to let me know you have sent your payment. Thank you all!
