I think he needs to send it to you so you can slap a $150 professional paint job onto it and send it back so he sees how it should be done.

Easy kitten, I'm just trying to be constructive. I'd like to think that Dave appreciates me keepin' it real.

Nice job, you sexy bald MF'r!

One thing I really dig is the eye brows. The way you painted them really adds character to the sculpt, as if there was a little more Han Solo there that you somehow uncovered.

Is that just the stock base body on this figure? Like I was telling you a couple days ago, I've been thinking about picking one up to customize.

Thank yah Rich, yea everything else is pretty much stock, I might have to do the same with the swap but then I might have to swap ALL my 1/6 SW figs . Someone stated in the Star Wars section that a beefier body would help him out even more but I can't see anything that would fit that belt from Sideshow with the new Hot Toys bodies besides a NSTT or something with a smaller waist to begin with.

Nice work on Han! You're easily exceeding Sideshow's work!

Yeah, I've swapped a lot of mine over the years.

I'm not sure if the Bespin Han has the same exact belt as the Smuggler version, because that belt worked fine on a NSTT, but with Bespin Luke I had a similar issue when porting him over to a Pro. The way I got around it was to find a suitable spot on the back of the belt where you can splice in a small length of brown leather to make the belt just a tad longer overall.

Not a bad idea on that Rich, I might just give it a whirl on the belt then.

Nice picture.

Can't wait to see the final results. I carved that battle damage
in especially for you know who and it was based off this picture.
Here's some other views as well, maybe this will help
with the Van Zan BD paint app.

I've got a ton of screen shots if you need more.

Just let me know.
