Hi everybody
So many of you have written to me over the past few months, and I even tried
to get those heads and helmets to you by sending them to Hasbro ... sadly they
couldn't accept uncommissioned works and so they sent them back.
Since some of you beg pretty consistantly (^^) I have thought up a way I actually
can get these Star Wars heads and Helmets out to one of you, and it was a LOT of
work to put all this together for you ... but that is the only way I can do it without
getting me into poodoo ...
So here I've put together this massive
36 pieces lot of *
one-off commission works*
I will only sell these works
ONCE and to ONLY ONE person. You will get a full set of
so called *Resin Master Copies* (unpainted Prototypes created for making new molds)
and a full set of the same 36 heads fully painted as guides on how to paint them.
(although I would LOVE to have them in colored Resin - human heads in flesh color, black for
the TIE Pilot and Vader, a dark Olive tone on Ponda Baba, grey on Arleil, and so on and so on)
I'm really sorry, but I won't split them up and sell all those heads and helmets separately,
as that would only take ages to keep track of payments and care for all the packing and
shipping (aside from that the insured and online trackable shipping from Europe to the US
is sadly pretty expensive, so it also wouldn't make sense to send single heads out.)
So whoever will buy this lot will only have to pay for the usual airmail shipping and I will
cover the rest to make it fully online trackable express shipping from Germany.
No PO boxes - you will have to sign for it when you receive it.
My hope actually is that one of you guys will get them who is good at moldmaking and
who has the time to *share* these with all you guys (and gals) here whom I had to
dissapoint and so sadly couldn't help out .
My biggest concern however is the pricing ... I am a pro sculptor, and if any company
would commission me to sculpt a likeness in 3 3/4 inch, the sculpting alone would cost
about 500 US$. Then there is the moldmaking, the casting and the painting of the Resin
copies, which alltogether would add another 250 US$.
Just take that x 36 and you've got the sum that this lot is actually worth.
For *Private commissions* I usually only charge half of that, but even that is still a lot
for most private collectors, and at 36 pieces at that price I'm afraid there is nobody on
here who could afford that.
Fact is that with all the time and work that went into these sculpts I just can't go
lower than 250 US$ a piece, and as I said I will not split the 36 sculpts apart and
sell just single ones, so the entire lot would still run you 9000,- US$ ...
That still IS a real bargain compared to the huge amount that lot would officially cost.
All in all I've been working on these things for over 4 months whenever I had some time
left over, so I hope you understand I can't just *give them away*for a buck a piece ...
So here is what you will get ...
36 x one of a kind custom sculpture (talking about the sculpting work only here)
36 x molds made to create you Master cast and painted copies (also talking about the work here)
36 x unpainted Resin Master cast for creating your own molds
36 x Painted Resin cast that you can use as paint-guide
here are a few pics of the lot ...
The painted samples ...
The Resin Master casts each packed in a small zip-lock baggie
and the same painted heads shown above now packed in baggies ...
For detailed and big pictures of the actual painted copies and Master casts go to my new thread
in the customizing section - here is the link to it ...
