Topic: Hemble's Dio's - Han Solo in Stormtrooper Disguise WIP 6" P63 07/07/15

Hi All,

Started another small dio and figure and this time it's Han in Stormtrooper disguise, I have completed Han and now I'm 80% completed on the base.

Han - the body is from Bandai and the head is from Hasbro's 6" BS, I repainted the 6" head has the sculpt underneath the crappy factory paint is very good.

I re-sculpted the neck covering using AVES putty and drilled a hole and inserted wire into that, I drilled a hole in the bottom of the head so it can be removed. The helmet was built and glued together and once dry I drilled out the bottom so that I could also insert it onto the neck.

Base - has been built up using foam core and then added plasti card to build up the walls, the vent looking area's were done buy using fly screen and gluing that down onto some plastic card then adding frame work around that.

The floor has been painted then clear plastic added over the top, once the final stage is done the floor will be sprayed matt black then clear plastic will be again added over the top of the painted floor.

Wow. I haven't looked around on the site for a bit. Great work on these dios! The lava effects are really great and the troopers look great. I love that flame trooper. The Han custom is fantastic! I continue to be inspired by your work.

Cheers mate and I wanted this figure to be articulated and Bandai's wins hands down for hidden joints and also no pins visible.

Hi All,

The dio is now 95% complete I just have to add a little highlighting to the grill section and then I will take my usual out door pics.

The walls were sprayed using Tamiya's IJN GRAY and I gave it 3 coats and once dry the floor was painted Raven Black and then the dio was given 2 coats of Dull Coate and then a piece of clear plastic was cut to size and placed on the floor.
