Okay, I'm getting aggravated. Does anyone know of a sealant for Acrylic paints like Folk-Art or Apple Barrel that's not spray paint? I know Folk-Art's Crackle makes a good clear coat, though it's glossy.  

I use a clear, matte spray sealant that I've picked up at WalMart for about $4; it's a brand called Plaid (from Patricia Nimock, if that means anything).  (It's NOT the crackling version.)  I've used it on all of my custom figs and it works extremely well; just be sure to hold it about 10-12 inches from your figs when applying a coat and allow it to dry for at least an hour (30 minutes will work, but the sealant hardens much better after a full hour).  This has really helped keep the paint jobs on my figs protected and from having the paint on joints rub off.  

Looking forward to seeing Han & Chewie!  The baby project is very interesting as well...I would love to see your take on a baby Jawa...what would that look like?

Once again 1 more day, ran out of superglue and the place I get it at is closed. Hope to unveil Han & Chewie tomorrow.

*sigh* , 1 more day. Chewie is have painted, though due to a tropical thunderstorm. I'm unable to do much more. Han & Chewie will and I mean will be shown tomorrow.

Alright everyone! Finally finished my ROTJ Han & Chewie. Hope ya like! I know Han doesn't have a black collar in ROTJ. *Critic*    

Han Solo "Captain of the Millennium Falcon"

I don't think a short biography is needed for him.








Recipe:
Head: 2011 TVC Bespin Han Solo.
Torso: 20011 TVC Bespin Han Solo modified shoulder pits.  (Had to do that because the shoulder pits were too big from the old arms.)
Arms: Saga 2 VC ROTJ Han.
Hands: Saga 2 Carbonite hands.
Legs: Modified Saga 2 VC ROTJ legs. (Sculpted the legs bigger and sculpted the pinstripes.)
Belt: Modified Saga 2 VC ROTJ holster and utility belt. (Made the strap.)
Weapon: Modified Saga 2 VC ROTJ Han blaster. (Made a finger guard.)

Chewbacca "Chewie"

I don't think a short biography is needed for him either.






Recipe:
Whole figure: OTC VC ROTJ Chewbacca with modified neck and mouth.


Buds-4-Ever.

Now what I mean by the neck thing is. He can move his head just like any other figure. Look below for production pics of Chewie.


First I had to drill out a hole to fit the joint below.

Now the joint consists of a #41 clone ball neck, Evo Anakin ball neck, and ROTS Stass ball neck glued together.

Here I had to drill the torso to fit the lowest ball neck.

Here we have the joint in the torso.

Here's his famous head tilt.

Down.

Up.

Left.

Right.

Thanks for looking and don't forget to vote if you already haven't.

awesome job orange

[Luke Sprywalker]

That is just awesome! Love the additions to both! For Chewies neck is that an elbow joint with a neck nub glued on? Love the effect it gives!

[darthdaddy]

Han and Chewie are really well done.  I may use your Chewbacca modification.  Really good idea.  Does it affect the waist articulation?

[RavenEye]

To hannsfartknocker: Thanks!
To Luke Sprywalker: Elbow joint? No, my friend I glued 3 different neck stubs spheres together. Sorry if I didn't make that clearer. And Thanks!
To darth daddy: PM'd your answer and Thanks!

Thanks for all the wonderful compliments.
