Re: Yet Another Han Solo in Carbonite WIP - Update 1/02/2011
Thanks again guys,
Here's another update.
1. I got some more work done on the side panels - I'm just waiting for the decals and 2 chrome second panel knobs to arrive from Darth Chromer. I also had to get a friend in the UK to pick up some 8mm colored dot stickers for me. Once I add all of these I will have all of the non-hero panels completed.
2. I added a support structure to the back of the box to both allow me to hang it from the wall, and keep the sides from flexing.
3. I fixed the cracks on the sides of the box I mentioned earlier, put down another coat of stainless steel, and weathered the box. I almost didn't do the weathering, but I am SO glad I did. It just ties the whole prop together and gives it an extra bit of realism.
Anyway, here are a few more pics so you can see where my project stands at the moment:
Thanks for looking

Another quick update this week:
I have completed the 7 non-hero panels, and have started work on the hero panel:
I'm getting close to the end!

The side panels look great, Chris!
Are those Darthchromer's panels?
Did you have to give them a good wash before primer and paint?
What kind of primer/paint did you use...color?
How did you attach the greeblies to the aluminum sheeting, I'm concerned what kind of glue to use :confused
thanks

Hi Brad,
Yes - they are Darthchromer's panels - they're very nice too! I gave them a good scrubbing, primed them with Rustomleum 2X black primer, and the final 2 coats were Krylon Stainless steel. I used a medium CA glue for all of the greeblies.
Thanks for all of the compliments everyone! I really appreciate it

Hey Gang,
