Custom 1/6 'A New Hope' Han Solo *WIP*

[DKA8976]

I think this looks sweet and I did pre-order. What boots do people plan on using? There are a metric ton of jackboots out there. The ones Wake uses look like Toys City ones and seem a little big. I know the DID ones usually hug the calves better. Ideas?

I have DID Whittmann boots standing by, but nothing to compare them to, unfortunately.

Is this figure already up for preorder and if it is where?

What do people think of these knock-off bodys? They look quite slim and have a sculpted neck and arms:

Those are the ones that Iminime used for Tyler dirden they are ok but way too buff for Han Solo

 

[<BEASTMASTER>]

You're right, the pecs and lats are a bit too much. I think the soldier story or ezio still have the ideal physique.

Would have been great if that neck and chest piece was sold separately and cast in flesh resin. Would solve many figure issues

 

[weaponslayer]

I second that idea!

1st sculpt revision:

.

 

[chilipep66]

honestly, hate to be a downer, amazing quality sculpt and paint as always, but I dont think that revision added anything at all to the likeness..

 

[Raymond F.]

I might have to agree i think the one on the left actually looks more like him.

Harrison is a tough one to capture I'm hoping to see a second revision.

 

[Levit05]

I think its more of the paint job...I see the shape and the likeness is there but the dark paint tones make it look different...i'll still pick him up tho

 

[Wake]

The revision was ONLY a paint revision i've been told. Denny will consider changes to the physical sculpt.

 

[Mr.E]

There's something off with the eyes. Stellar paint work though!

 

[Dr. Odd]

Pretty amazing how much of a difference the paint up makes, though I don't know if it was for the better.

 

[<BEASTMASTER>]

One thing I noticed are the eyes are very dark. I've increased the lightness and taken out some of the yellow and red, see what you think.

 

[kl241]

Looks like Harry Hamlin.

 

[SwedishHeat]

I think the shape of the head should be more narrow. I think the overall size of the head is too large in proportion to the size of the eyes, nose and mouth, like the cheeks and jawline is too wide. I understand that's a major change and unlikely to occur, but I just wanted to pipe in.

But at least there's some clearly lit photos this time so, yay!

 

[RJMacReady16]

Yeah they just missed him on it. Ford is both the reason 1/6th took off, and ironically the most elusive likeness.

 

[Wake]

There will be moré work on the sculpt per Denny

 

[weaponslayer]

In my opinion I do think this revision is an improvement (nose and jaw looks slimmer), although his jawline is still too square and pronounced, if you reduce that It'll elongate the face. And something just seems off with the eyes, I think he should be looking straight forward, right at you, goading you on.

Also what I truly think is happening is that the sculpt is lacking personality, he's like an actor without spark. I'm missing Fords trademark crooked grin if you know what I mean, specially if your going for the scoundrel/smuggler look.
