I started this project years ago before I knew another one existed (displayed at Light And Magic). I can't tell you how helpful the many posts here on Han Solo in Carbonite projects were! Thank you so much!!!
Total cost ran about $500. Because this prop's existence in the Star Wars universe is sketchy at best, I took a lot of artistic license to keep costs down. The stand, lights, and control panels are all removable to allow for easy travel if needed. I give a lot of detail in the video at the end of this post.
Here he is in the dark, displayed with lighting similar to Jaba's Palace.
HIC builders might note there's no weathering. I tried to weather him, but due to the clothes not being perfectly smooth, it was very difficult to get the color right because it was impossible to buff and work the wash. So, he's pretty new looking. Here's a picture before paint
Thanks again so much for the inspiration!
