Han Solo in Carbonite: A novice build

[crnaherd]

Would like to show pic but not sure how to get it to show on this forum.

Also, as far as painting and sanding, how many coats of primer should I use and how many coats of paint? Also should i sand the paint between each coat with fine grit paper? Don't have a router so just using hand sander to round off edges. Not sure how accurate i can get those edges to blend with that. May have to do by hand.

I didn't go too crazy with the paint. I prepped the surface with a good sanding and then put down enough primer to cover evenly with about 2 coats. Then I did about 3 or 4 coats of color for the box but I didn't sand between coats. I was happy with the way mine turned out.

As for adding pics, just click the little photo icon in the tool bar above where you type and follow the dialogue box instructions.

After like 5 years I'm almost done with the box lol.... Worked on and off on this thing and I made a lot of mistakes but it's gonna turn out sweet. I'm a perfectionist so I've taken my time and it has caused some headaches but I'm glad I was patient

This thread is a blast from the past! Jedifyfe finally got his panels and I have built a couple HICs! Your build is looking great crnaherd!

Your HIC looks amazing! Well done and keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the finished product.
