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

[**16k**]

Stardate : 1128.08

I have a dream (where the hell did I here that before?… ) that one day we Trekkies may possess accurate headsculpts of the leading crew of the original STAR TREK series, with the younger KIRK, SPOCK and MC COY when they still wore pajamas!

More seriously guys, I have spoken to Chris Howes (who will soon be overworked I guess!) about starting a thread commission for this illustrious threesome, as I’m pretty sure there’ll be others like me, desperate to own better sculpts than the vintage/repro Megos or the less than satisfactory Playmates action figures.
The good news is, Chris egrees to do it! The (not so) bad, of course, is, with all the commissions he’s doing, we’ll have to wait in line!

Chris has been kind enough to offer us the three HS for his standard precast/full price deal. $20.00 per head for the precast discount, $35.00 full price after casting begins. Shipping will be $5.00 in the US, $7.00 international for up to 4 heads. Neck drilling option will be $5.00 per head.
To get the presale discount, payment must be sent before actual casting begins. After that, you will pay full price. Chris will announce when the presale period is closed.

Payment:
Unless updated, Paypal will be the preferred payment method. When sending payments to Chris Howes via PayPal, please send him a separate order email with the subject line "STAR TREK" and include the following information:

· screen name
· real name
· order info (quantities)
· shipping address

Chris's email address for both for PayPal and your order email is [email protected].

I will be crossposting this offer on several boards (SSF, MWD and Fantasy.net) and probably in several places of SSF to catch the attention of a maximum of people. T o help me manage this thread, please indicate what sculpts you want and the quantity.

Now, think! You know the Infinite Diversity of your collection in its Infinite Combination needs them!!!!!

EDIT: STAR TREK OUTFITS

Amy J, from the MWD forum has agreed to to STAR TREK outfits as a private commission for those who really want one.
The male uniforms are $20 each and the female uniforms are $25 each.
She only does them as special orders.
Interested people, please check:

https://www.ajclothiers.com

Then, use the "What can I sew for you" form and precise sex, color and rank .


Now, folks, looks like the outfit issue isn't one anymore!
EDIT: PAINTING BY KUATO

If you want Kuato to paint yours Chris will send it to him directly saving you a shipping charge. You will only have to pay shipping to Kuato. The first 10 heads (first come first serve) get Kuato's $30.00 + shipping per head discount. After that it's full price, $45.00 +shipping.

You will pay him for painting directly, but he asks that we hold off paying for painting until I ship him a batch of heads. This helps his organization system.

EDIT: ACCESSORIES

The matter of accessories has been addressed several times in the thread(s), so that I'm opening a new section about accessories that Chris could make for us. It's not yet a commission, just a way to see what we would need. I'll add the names of interesting people as they come. I repeat, it is not yet a commission and you can change your mind, it's just an indication. Pricing has not yet been determined yet, and options are not limited to this. Your input is welcome. So here it is so far:

-Insignia
-Phaser
-Tricorder
-Communicator
-Custom Vulcan hand for Spock

PAYMENT CHART

I've just edited the first post for those interested in Star Trek outfits!

 

[SpawnFan]

Hmm I like that Spock!

https://www.chowes.com/auctions/custom/spock.jpg

Put me down for a Spock and a Kirk please. Is payment required immediately btw?

I'll contact Amy about those outfits, thanks for finding that! Great price!

 

[**16k**]

Hi, Spawnfan, and welcome onboard!
I don't think you have to pay now, as we still need more people to make this commission a reality. But don't worry, when time has come, I'll send each and everyone of you a PM to let you know payment is needed!

 

[SpawnFan]

That is good to hear, I have so much going on now...

 

[abake]

I'm thinking we would need different bodies for the different actors... Spock could use a Buck, McCoy a DML Neo maybe? and Kirk a HT Truetype.
But we'd need different neck posts for that... any thoughts on that?

 

[**16k**]

Well, no, I hadn't thought about that! The idea is good though! However, I don't think this is really a problem. The Buck and DML bods have very similar neckposts. As for the HT Truetype, Cotswold sells neck post adaptors, so this hould be easy!

 

[**16k**]

That's officially 15!

 

[abake]

Yey for us!

 

[galactiboy]

I will probably also have the Kirk and Spock heads drilled and painted. So hopefully I get in teh discount 10 of Kuato.

I'd be interested in outfits, but it is dependent on final cost.

I've been busy with my real 1:1 life job these last few days so I hadn't updated the thread! It is now done.
Thanks Chris for your participation! I'm glad that you seem enthusiastic about doing these. I'll PM you later today to ask for a few additionnal details.
As for all of you who're making this commission possible, I thank you! I will PM all of you today to remind you the details about payment!

 

[**16k**]

Hi again,

Check your inbox. By now you've all been PMed! If, by chance, you haven't received it or I have forgotten you, please let me know!

 

[Migwit]

Alrighty, payment has been sent to Chris. Looking forward to future updates. Thanks guys!!

First thread (finally) updated. Sorry for the delay, guys...
