I wish Josh would set these prices down a little..I think 250 or 300.00 would be fine for these...especially in this day and time..650 is about what I get for 3 months of work...way too much for me to afford unfortunatly. Is it a painted on eye or a taxidermy one ? I'm leaning toward the former...it looks like it should more yellow and detail in it...I can't wait to see what Malcom's JP3 Raptor bust will look like eventually... ;D Has Josh mentioned when he's going to get the Compies done ? Looks like it will fall before I get them for my Park...  |

I believe it's a painted eye. I have not heard nothing on the compies for a while he's super busy right now.

Thanks guys! ;D
I would like to lower the price so more people could afford them, but I can't. I quit my job to make and sell these so they have to replace the $700 a month I was making at my part time job. Plus the price is what I put into them. Around $100 -$150 in materials, and 30 - 40 hours of work. So if I were to sell them for half of the price I would be cheating myself as well as other Plaeo artists. I have been told by my teachers at school that I am underselling myself.
I cannot give a time when I will complete my compy. Besides making the busts, I am a full time student in college, have an internship, as well as other projects going on here in Pitt. Not to mention I am starting my thesis at school, a full size Rex head and working on a creature suite for a local commercial. So I do not have a lot of time to finish new projects.

If you could find a way to cut the time and produce them more quickly you could sell more then lower the price. 300.00 for a Raptor wouldn't be that bad...look at as if you were wanting to buy one and had 700.00 a month..with food, gas, car bills, electricity, water, ect.. doesn't leave a lot left to buy the things you would like y' know ?  I would be fine if you sold them as kits so we could build ourselves..def cuts down your time and our costs. |

I know there was a topic around here for Josh's Compys but I can't seem to locate it. :/ Images of the first Jurassic Park Compy I received from Josh Hoover . Shipping was fine but it was improperly packaged and arrived with the tail snapped off and broken in another place..and it was supposed to be an outdoor quality piece in resin or fiberglass and this one is an epoxy with the aluminum foil and wire under body...not at all what we discussed. This after a year and a half of waiting on him after it was supposed to be 3 months..and he still owes me two of them !   |

Sorry that happened to you Chris. Looks like he just tossed it in the box with some newspaper. I think Galileo would be the way to go, if you want a nice JP Compy. |

Sorry that happened to you Chris. Looks like he just tossed it in the box with some newspaper. I think Galileo would be the way to go, if you want a nice JP Compy. Yeah it was def improperly packaged..and yet he claims he's never had one break. Oh trust me..if I hadn't already sunk 200.00 in to Josh ( which he won't refund ) I would have ordered 3 from Galileo..I'm sure he would cut me a deal and even modified them like Josh is supposedly doing. And he could have probably sealed for outdoor display as well. It would certainly have saved me a LOT of time and frustration as well. I plan to get one of Galileo's at least for indoor display though. Heck what Josh did here I could have made myself and saved 150.00 bucks...and he def hasn't helped inspire confidence in other artists..one reason I've been hesitant about ordering from others ..Josh looked fine on paper but he turned sour quick. He's offering to include a replacement tail for this one like it's a motor than need s a piece..I'm supposed to strip this clean it, remove the old tail, drill it add the new one, and repaint it on my own when it's his defective product ? I don't think so. |
