Finished: Han Solo

Remember the secret project I mentioned a while ago? Well I'm happy to reveal it to you. It's a Knight Models 30mm Han Solo. The reason for it being secret was quite simple: it's a birthday present for a friend.

I really enjoyed painting the figure, the sculpt is very very good. The exaggerated folds in the pants and the boots were a pleasure to paint. It also consists of one part, so no assembly was required, and all areas were very well reachable with the brush. Minor flaws include the nose (too big in my opinion) and the fingers on the right hand which are very poorly sculpted.

It is mounted on a display plinth by Plinth Country.

    The jeans look great and the weathering on the boots look just as good. Have to agree that the nose looks too big.

    It came out swell, especially considering it is 30mm.

    That scale shot is so required! The nose looks too big, large and flattened. Perhaps some subtle shading down the sides would make him more han-like. Otherwise biblical paintjob on such a miniscule model!

    Hey Gerrie, that's a great paint job you've done there. The face is excellent, plus he's my favourite SW character, so what's not to like ;)
