Thanks.. like Han said "you're gonna need it".

Although it looks good and has that nice unique "custom" look to it. I'm always a little sad I can't get a clean paintjob like those factories pump out.

 

[eczamurai]

But the eyebrows are far more "ford" than the stock apps were imo.

Finished his face and eyes. Need to do the lips and the irises still. Not enough light to continue.

Still! I think it's hard to tell this used to be that medicom sculpt! I'm glad with the result. My mother could instantly tell who he was without him on the body so that's always a good sign.

 

[eczamurai]

I thought about painting the eyes like this. Suggestions would be appreciated!

 

[eczamurai]

Painted the lips. Only the eyes are left! Still haven't decided.. thinking about having him look just a bit to one of his sides.

 

[generalgrevious]

I`ve never liked sculpts eyes looking in a different directions. it makes it hard to pose sometimes to me but to each is there own I guess.

 

[eczamurai]

Yeh I was thinking just *slightly* to one side. Straight on tends to give a bit of a mannequin look. Agree about the posing!

 

[generalgrevious]

don't mean to hijack your thread but here is the hot toys sculpt with the sideshow hoth han unhatted hair on it. I think it helps bring out more of his likeness with a simple hair transplant.

 

[eczamurai]

funny how it looks better with the sideshow hair! I agree I see ford in it now. Didn't think I would. All these hair transplants are fun! Luke with medicom hair, enterbay with sideshow hair, han with sideshow hair haha!

 

[generalgrevious]

I have two of those han solo sculpts coming form kit. I might use that one pictured above as a stormtrooper han

 

[eczamurai]

Looking forward to seeing the result of that+

I think dynamic eyes add character to a figure, but, like people have said, it does limit your posing options. If you plan to just have him in that one pose I say go for it.

 

[eczamurai]

"I got a bad feeling about this."

 

[eczamurai]

Can't wait to square Han off against Boba.

 

[eczamurai]

Hardest part for me isn't even painting the eyes themselves. It's more trying not to make him cross-eyed..

 

[eczamurai]

Daylight pic. I wish my painting was as clean as some of the pros. But it's alright.

I take it you're using acrylics? I have similar results. Acrylics are nice because of the easy cleanup, and they dry faster, but that also hinders working time and makes it harder to blend and gives you brush strokes if you work it too much. They make a medium for acrylics that slows the drying time. We should try some.

So their acrylics dry less fast you're saying? That would be pretty interesting. Glad to know I'm not the only one with these results!
