Han and Chewie pilot figures for MR Falcon - COMPLETE!

Those look awesome! I like that they're molded in approximate colors too.

I'm hoping to get in on the second run. My Falcon looks empty :)
 
Got mine painted now. Thanks to the makers ! These are really great.

Those look awesome Phil.

I think it would be cool if someone could get some lights mounted in the front panel to illuminate the front of the figures as seen in the film.
 
Really nice paintjob Spiker! Thanks for sharing the pics and we're happy that you like them.

Awesome! Thanks for posting photos. Here's to hoping that a second run happens sooner rather than later.
 
the sculpt is awesome to say the least... it makes me want to go and by the Falcon now....

Will you be sculpting the back seat passengers as well, from all 3 movies?
 
If someone wants to commission Cyberman to sculpt the other figures, I'm sure he'd do it.
I'm not personally going to commission any more though.

Cheers,

Chris
 
Received my painted ESB pair today. Pretty happy. For those that have a pair who have them installed in your cockpit, does your Chewie sit a little closer to the console than Han?
 
Safely received my figures in Japan. They're beautifully sculpted and painted! What terrific added value for the MR Falcon. Hats off to cking and Cyberman for making a great model even better. Thanks, guys! :thumbsup

rm, my Chewie does indeed sit closer to the console than Han... almost as if he's leaning over the controls. I think the location of the yoke may be interfering with the way Chewie sits in his seat. I asked Chris whether there's a trick to getting Chewie to sit properly. The answer: "Dog biscuits." :p

Actually, Chris pointed out that there will be slight variations in the placement of cockpit parts from model to model, so Chewie may fit more comfortably where there is a hair's more distance between the yoke and the seat. Naturally, Han, who is thinner, will sit back farther in his seat (or, rather, he will appear to be farther back from the controls). I tried wedging Chewie into his seat a bit more firmly, but when I heard little pre-cracking sounds from the steering yoke, I abandoned that idea at once. :$

I think the figures look awesome in the cockpit. I get a big smile whenever I glance over at my Falcon and see Han and Chewie at the controls. But if anyone has a good idea about how to seat Chewie farther back in his seat, please share it! :)
 
Hey guys,

Glad to hear they're arriving and that you like them.
Regarding the fit of Chewie into the seat - I think this is mainly due to his larger body which naturally makes him sit more forward (compared to Han's thinner body). I've also noticed that the control column / steering wheel seems to be in slightly different locations on some Falcons - this is obviously a variation in the way they were assembled originally. My own Chewie sits pretty far forward but I don't think it's too distracting.

If you really don't like it, the only thing I could suggest is "shaving" some of the resin off his back so that it reduces the width of his body and pushes him further back into the seat.

LoL! Shave your Wookie. He'll be much happier, and healthier.:lol

Mine still hasn't left the UK According to the tracking number.
This means it'll probly be in today's mail. :confused
 
:lol

Don't worry about the tracking info. For some reason, it seems to take days for the website to catch up. Funny you should mention about it showing up though because one of the customers received their package and the tracking info was still stating that "they had been informed a shipment was ready for collection".
