SilentSurfer's Laboratory: Come up to the Lab & See What's on the Slab.

[Bucky Underbelly]

Wake, you're making my Detolfs weep with inadequacy and shame.

Beautifully done, sir!

Terrific use of lighting. And I love the detail on the window blinds. I honestly can't compliment the whole project enough.

(And, of course, spectacularly painted, Nathan!)

Hey Nathan, sent you a PM recently and email! Please check Thank you!

Cloudfilter, if you ever make that Audrey head available I'LL send it to Nathan...

I remembered this and I'll hold you to it

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

We're talking the Audrey head (no helmet) as opposed to the Catwoman head...but I have my Catwoman head on the way and it's an easy custom, so you never know...

The Disney projects seem to have come to a (hopefully temporary) end, so I will making the most of my time to attach the private commission stuff again. I know many of you have been waiting far too long. My apologies.

Great freaking news brother!

 

[SilentSurfer]

When I said I'd be back at the private stuff, I didn't mean I'm open for new stuff. Ease down on the PMs, guys. Thanks!

I think you can make more clear situation here.I'm quiet sure you know about how much orders you need to paint already and how much time you need fore them.Just give us some date when you think you will be able to take new customs-may, july , september?Thanks

Any customizer can attest to this--there is no way to accurately gauge how long everything will take. Typically, we tend to underestimate anyway. Which is why I'm so backed up.

Man can I ever relate! I feel ya... Hang in there man.

Excited to see some new stuff in here, and a certain PhD in psychology and parapsychology!

I concur on that one. I get backed up so quickly because I underestimate how much time I need for each project.

Customizers should follow the example of Montgomery Scott:

Scotty Principle
(n.) The defacto gold star standard for delivering products and/or services within a projected timeframe. Derived from the original Star Trek series wherein Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott consistently made the seemingly impossible happen just in time to save the crew of the Enterprise from disaster.

The premise is simple:

1) Caluculate average required time for completion of given task.

2) Depending on importance of task, add 25-50% additional time to original estimate.

3) Report and commit to inflated time estimate with superiors, clients, etc.

4) Under optimal conditions the task is completed closer to the original time estimate vs. the inflated delivery time expected by those waiting.

Although maybe doubling the time estimate would be safer

 

[SilentSurfer]

That's actually pretty smart. One of my downfalls this last year since FamCon is that so much came in so fast, that it wouldn't have been possible to calculate that effectively.

Awesome. Can't wait to see a slew of fresh WIPs
