Fibreglass Han Solo in Carbonite

Re: WIP: Han Solo in Carbonite - NEW & IMPROVED

Yeah, I agree Keith.

I really wish we had some kind of definitive color for this prop...:love

I'm not sure that pic that Kurtyboy posted really proves it's two colors either.

I've been doing some testing on my HIC today, trying to determine colors and weathering techniques.

I laid down a quick coat of silver then did a black acrylic wash wiped off with a rag. The level of darkness on the frame and box could be adjusted by how much you wipe off, or how many coats you do of the wash.

Also, I think doing some dry-brushing of a silver color would really make the Han section "pop" without using two colors...?

From Kurtyboy's pic the weathering almost looks BROWN...?! :confused

Yes I agree, the difference in color probably is due to the weathering. What I was trying to show is that there is a definite change in tone though rather than the whole front being the same right across.

The brown could just be bad color correction on the picture.

I'm not so sure Marcus. It still looks to me that its the dark grey, or black weathering that makes the outer frame and box look darker. Look at the silver between the weathering and look at the top section of the frame.

I really wish i could have a good look at the real prop in person before i paint mine.

I still reckon that there is 2 tones/colours going on there...with a weathering over the top of both.

Mine made it all the way here to Los Angeles yesterday from Neil. This HIC is just gorgeous. Kicks the Illusive Concepts piece to the curb. Haven't had time to put the panels on yet or get it mounted on the wall but it looks great anyway :love Totally worth the extra shipping costs. I was blown away with how fast Neil got this to me. Thanks again Neil. :thumbsup

Got some new grills in to fit the Volvo dash. The holes are so DarthChromer's knobs can be used to control his electronics kits.

I only have 4 left. Post here if you want one. $15 shipped anywhere. First come first served. PayPal only.

Glen, Keith, Marcus...I've put one aside for you...check your inbox. Chris, Eric...your hero control panels have these attached.

I can do another run if there is demand.
