Got my set today. Let's bring this thread back for a second to how FANTASTIC Han is! Amazing likeness and great all around figure.
Now as for Chewie, I decided to take a crack at modding the upper lip area issue. Surprisingly, I didn't end up having to cut away any of the sculpt. What I did was I heated up the mouth area with a hair dryer, then using a small knife tool I dug into the area where the upper lip meets the fur and peeled down the upper lip/mouth plate. Then using the knife I scraped down the fur, sorta tucking it in and flattening it out, cutting away a very small amount of fur to make sure the area was flattened out as much as possible. Finally, I reheated the mouth and pulled the upper mouth plate back up to line it up with the fur (also had to realign the bottom jaw piece). The rest is just futzing to try to make the hair look as accurate as I could.
It seems to me that the main issue with the snout is that HT put way too much fur in that area, and not necessary an issue with the sculpt itself.
Anyways I'm pretty happy with the result, especially compared to how he looked out of the box. Hope you guys like
..and thanks for the compliments from everyone
