New thread - Les Post One

Well, I thought I had best save Darklord Dave, and Mods (Josh!) and the site members, memory loss, and make the postings of new works for 2009 easier for everyone involved. Especially since I am back in with a new computer, and a fresh restart, so, why not.

This will be my new Work Image post thread. You can still post in the old thread (link to first page below)

https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12391

about this and that, and discuss the older works listed therein, but here, I am posting new works for 2009 only. That of course will be a misnomer until about late March or early April, as anything I post will actually be work commissioned in 2008 (and God forbid, earlier), so hang with me and this might make referring to new posts easier for all. I know it will for me.


Here is what I plan to do. I will update this post, and several of the earlier ones here, with as many pictures and links to works when I can. Then, later on, I will add into THIS POST, the links to pages of new works, so if one gets lost in some long thread, you can find what you are looking for.

Secondly, I have mentioned my new workload approach, it will be a half up front, half upon completion type of payment, with what I hope to be a month by month workload. Details to be re-added in here soon. (For now I just want to start the thread off right)


Pics of works to follow.
For now, see the Third (or forth or so), ALL NEW! 2009 Hall 'O Hickses! Better detail shots to follow when I get the chance. (relearning how to post pics again! :lol )

And for those not in the know, there have been nearly 100 or so of these Hicks heads made by me within the last two or so years, since the advent of the Hot Toys Hicks figure's arrival.

I may have old commission threads started and will have more as soon as work permits, but these are the last sets for a while. They include some started in early '08 and with added ones requested here and from other sites and emails, that may not have been updated.
Please remember, my family issues settled in around March of 08 and got worse from there. Many of my commission threads were not properly followed up on after that began. It got even worse when my computer went bad and is only now repaired.

So...onward and upward from all that! May last year be only a bad memory!!!

Anyway, MORE TO COME!

Next two posts will have info posted soon, here at the front of the thread, for easier future access.

New Thread - Les post Three

SHIPPING LISTS.
Keep a lookout here for a list of those items and/or members where work has been shipped out.
I will not include detailed info for wach person in this openly posted list, only a cursory list of names or even just heads. Each member involved will be emailed with specific shipping info each.
Some shipments may include multiple commission items, and those might or might not be later than single head orders. Depends totally on when things get finished and packed and when. There is sometimes no order that makes sense to the outside, but does to my workload lists.

NOTE: Due to the sheer volume of heads I have to report on here, I may not list EACH and EVERY head or customer's works at this point, but will when the shipping time is reached. Fear not if you don't see your name or works mentioned here. There are a LOT of single type heads that I am not listing here yet. Thanks for understanding.

Thanks and watch for more very soon.

SHIPPING SOON:

ALL Singles and related sets.

Re: LES WALKER - Custom Works 2009

Thanks guys. It's my hope to streamline my work viewing in here for this year, so all that other stuff can be mentioned in it's contexts. This way, here, we can focus on THIS YEAR's STUFF! :rock

Oh, and other than commissions threads to come, or sales threads, etc,
HERE, and HERE ALONE will be NEW 2009 works by me!
I may post some older stuff in the other thread, but if it dies a slow death, Dave can retire it. Whenever that needs to happen.

No, that's either an HT factory Hudson head (which oddly looks more like Hicks, or the Hot Toys Stoner Head which was the base for Les' spikey head.
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Glad to see you've got your clone army coming along :lol

Simply amazing Les. And not one of those looks like he was part an an assembly line. Each one looks like it was the only one you painted and give it your full and undivided attention (which is saying something because of all you have been through lately).

You've still got it :bow
