Hasbro Grogu in carbonite

[Allanthenewbie]

Hi all.. First post.. I recently repainted (airbrushed) the $20 Mattel Grogu figure (11") and just bought a second.. To disect and make into a Grogu in carbonite

I plan on making the frame around the outside with all of the lights/ controls etc

That was one way the Mandalorian could have prevented the kid from running around everywhere.

No idea why.. But I really fancy making a Woody from Toy Story in carbonite after. Just for a giggle

This is the one I air brushed.. Made a new body.. Arms.. Painted the hands.. Airbrushed the cloak.. Ping pong ball painted silver

 

[TazMan2000]

You nailed the cloak, but you may want to hit the head with something less shiny.

I used Matt spray.. But it dried glossy.. Have plans to hit it with some 3000 paper to mute the gloss a bit

if you are talking about the 11” with the bean bag filled body, those are made by Mattel.

[Allanthenewbie]

For the air brushed version I made a timber frame.. And then added the wadding back over the top

The carbonite version I used purple foam insulation boards and shaped it with a knife

A quick comparison video for those interested in the air brushed Grogu I did

 

[Allanthenewbie]

Ended up repainting him as I couldnt get rid of the shine

For matte you have to do very light coats of fog just let it fall on the item dont spray directly. Looks like you hosed him down but maybe the plastic just reacted funny to the paint?

Anyway hilarious project I really dig it! Gotta find yourself some Volvo guage clusters!
