Hey Everyone,
After over a year of work, Han Solo is almost done. I got to show it off a bit at Grantie State Comic Con 2015 this weekend. If anyone who was there and recognizes me, please give me some input!
There are still parts I would like to upgrade, but the parts are as follows:
Purchased:
Trouser belt from Todd's costumes - weathered with 000 steel wool.
Holster from Todd's costumes - weathered with various shoe polishes and 000 steel wool.
Boots from Todd's costumes - Natural aging - calf size is small as others have noticed. I lasted 5 hours of walking and standing.
Belt tools from Costumebase - pretty okay - but will definitely upgrade when I have time and funds.
Droid Caller - Doopydoos. Actually disappointed in this casting based on his other kids I've bought.
DL-44 - Doopydoos weathered with flat primer, enamel, acrylic, and rub n' buff. Upgrading to metal when DEC does another run.
Made by me:
Shirt - This went through three generations...One by me, one commission, and this altered turtle neck. Will upgrade when sewing skills improve. I could have sized up on this shirt I think.
Vest - Version 3 of the vest for the project and 2 by me. Based on my patterns I am working on in another thread. Still working out the kinks, but I think one big change needed is that the back loops are a bit large and all touch one another where they are stitched, Han's look more spread out. Also the bottom left pocket needs to be larger.
Other
Pants - these were commissioned from a coworker. The blood stripes are ebay finds and are actually really terrific. Overall very happy with these, but the holster hardware needs to be worn in a bit because they are already starting to eat at the denim.
Need a good wig as I am very bald. Any suggestions?
I boosted the light a bit in the photos to show off some detail so the colors are not super accurate as to its true look. The shirt is a lot more creamy.
