Here is some work I did with my "Hero" control panel. I used a Graph and plastic sheet. I put brushed Alum handles from Home Depot.

OK, since starting this Project on January 24, 2011, I have now come to the end as of March 24, 2011. Many hours of building prepping, sanding, painting with Box and Han Solo, and then working with Controls panels to give them the Illusion of being functional incuding the "Hero panel". I like the freshly carbonated look so I am not going to put a wash on the HIC.

The blotches you created with elmer's glue are nowhere near accurate...you blotched the job :sleep

I kid I kid! :lol

Great job, and extremely fast build. Mine is 3 years in the making and not even a box in sight...but hopefully I'll get it done this year :love

Looks great brother, the only thing I would have recommended would be to make the carbonite texture uniform throughout. The rough texture around the body and the other smooth areas are inconsistent and kinda throw it off. But still looks great, nice job.

Thanks Guys. I really appreciate your kind comments. I purposely created the Carbonite with that look to make it much different than other HIC's out there. It looks as if Han was moving right before it solidified to the Frozen look. I will eventually add light effect from the back to create a glow from behind.

What particular brand/shade of gunmetal did you use for the box?

Looks great, BTW.

I showed the HIC at a Film festival and many were happy to get a Picture next to him. My Friend Carlos (Boba Fett) and I (TK) posed.

Here is one I took of Han decorated for Christmas.

I am always excited to see these. Been collecting parts for my own. About ready to begin building the box to puzzle all the parts together. Great work.
