Next up AMT/ERTL's 1:6 Scale Vinyl Han Solo.

I kitbashed somekind of Mos Eisley power unit thing for the base.

The facial likeness isn't perfect but for an ERTL kit it's up there with the best. I was careful to refrence lots of photos of Harrison to get the skintone, light wrinkles, eyes, stuble and chin scar just right. I just had to look into a mirror for the scar as I've got one exactly the same ;-)

However the kit has a number of problems (Not least being Harrison is much skinnier) as the back pouches on his vest were missing, most of the utility belt items were inaccurate and he isn't wearing gloves despite being clearly in the Mos Eisley hanger pose. So I had to sculpt and add all those missing elements.

Also the shirt didnt fit into the trousers by a good 1/2 centimetre so I had to resculpt and remount that.

Model kit unboxed.
