He looks great! I can really appreciate how much work you put into him. I've been working on my own since last we corresponded and although I've taken a different route (much less work than yours) I can appreciate how difficult this figure is to get right. Mine is about finished and I will be posting him soon. I'm very pleased with him and I even did some work to the head that I think you'll like. I can't wait to share him! Thanks for the inspiration! You rock, Bro!
The only thing still bugging me is the missing pocket on his left shoulder... I'm fighting the urge to cut the pocket off of Bespin Capture Han's arm and dremel out a slot for it on the Ugnaught biceps. Aaaannnd... I wish the Echo Base Belt had some more paint apps on it. I like this light orange-brown color better, it reminds me of the original kenner figure, and it stands out next to his brown pants better than the darker brown belts from other Han figures- but I really, really miss all those rivets on the back being silver, and the droid caller on the side being black. |

Ooops I missed this one
The neck is too short really. I just used a bunch of hot glue to fill the head hole, and then put another dab right under his chin. I let it cool just a tiny bit and then shoved it on. Stays pretty good. Not a hundred percent happy with it, I wish it was a little more secure. I'm kinda squeamish about cutting the neck up or dremeling anything else on this guy. |

I honestly have no idea. I'v enever done that before with a custom. But I was really horrible when people would comission me to draw something for them, I'd get procrastinitis all of a sudden. Carbonite Han goes anywhere from 8 to 12 bucks on ebay, Ugnaughts I think are around 6 or 7, Bespin Capture averages out around 8 bucks, and I think Echo Base Han was 8 or 9 bucks at Walmart... I've probably spent about 30 to 40 bucks on each one just for parts. I'm not even sure if I've factored in the shipping or not... Labor... I dunno, the most time consuming thing is how I carefully sand the paint off the chest. Well, that and waiting for the figures to show up in the mail... Oooops, AND dremeling/hollowing out the torso and the lower arms- That's really nerve wracking and tedious for me lately. Everything else is just trying not to slip with the dremel or drill too deeply. Or stab myself with my exacto knife again, prying Echo Base Han's crotch and torso apart. I think the longest it's taken me was 5 or 6 hours to make this. One day I cranked 2 out pretty quickly... I suck at this though, I'd probably have to have the person get all the figures together first, send 'em to me to do the work, and figure out a fair price. If it helps though, when I finally get this next one ready to go, I'll quit being lazy and take some step by step pics. (like I kept planning to do each time i'd make one) |
