Sideshow Hoth Han Solo (Echo Base)

[Asta]

Yeah, I cringed at that Wor-Gar.

Don't worry Wor-Gar, I chuckled

It was so bad, even I didn't comment and that's saying something. Hang your head in shame.

Waldorf: Terrible.

Statler: Awful! I hated it!

Waldorf: Wonderful!

Statler: Spectacular!

Waldorf: I liked it!

Statler: Yeah, I loved it! I loved it!

Hannequin Solo works....

Han Dough-lo doesn't....

I took the flour out, it was a right ball ache
but i started to wonder about the flour i think your guys were right
although going back to its original self
i can't help but think it looks a bit like one of those
hasbro one's from late 90's
so I'm going to cover it in snow again, What shall i use?
I've heard talcum powder, it smells nice so have been told LOL

Just make sure to use real talc and not the stuff made from corn starch, or you're back to the same place you were with the flour.

The eyes do look really good on yours. I wonder if some will just be inserted better than others, or the holes cut out better.

That's one of the problems with this process... it's very inconsistent. While every Drake head I've seen was pretty bad, some were worse than others. The biggest offenders would have noticeable gaps and misaligned eyes.

 

[davejames]

Yikes. I was planning to make some minor mods to the figure anyway, but if it comes out of the box looking like a major disaster I will definitely be asking for a replacement.

Go to a model train or hobby store and ask what they recommend for snow.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

For snow I usually use snow. Good thing about that is its not permanent.

Depends if you want it permanent or not doesn't it? Wouldn't white milliput work if you didn't mind it being permanent?

Bad idea to use real snow for snow effects! The acid in the rain will discolor Han's jacket in 100 years time if you're not careful, and if moths don't get to it first.

White pastel chalk and use a razor/sharp edge to scrape it off. Works well. Comes off if need be with canned air.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sugar works well and makes Han tasty.

Production:

Is this the only shot of the EX production head we have so far?

 

[davejames]

There was this one too:

 

[marker2037]

It looks so good in that shot.

Yeah it will turn brown.

Is it me or could the whole set switch over to a slightly bigger body? Everything looks proportional but just too big for the frame.

I totally agree. The Prometheus body is horribly proportioned. Definitely need to port onto a True Type. Maybe even a Drake/Snake body
