It was a nice, easy figure to paint in the sense that there were no hard to reach places.

My Paint list

Boots: Mechanicus Standard Gray+Abbadon Black, Eshin Gray, Nuln Oil

Gun: Mechanicus Standard Gray+Abbadon Black, Leadbelcher, Nuln Oil

Skin: Kislev Flesh, Reikland Fleshshade, White Scar (for mixing in with Kislev Flesh for highlighting)

Vest: Mechanicus Standard Gray+Abbadon Black, Eshin Gray, Nuln Oil

Shirt: Ceramite White to fix the paint here and there, Nuln Oil (1)+Lahmian Medium (2), White Scar

Pants: Macragge Blue, Drakenhof Nightshade (2)+Druchii Violet (1), Macragge Blue and then Altdorf Guard Blue for hightling

Hair: Rhinox Hide, Agrax Earthshade (2)+Nuln Oil(1), Rhinox Hide+Deathclaw Brown mixes for highlighting (mixing in more and more Deathclaw Brown for the brightest highlight)

Belt and Holster: Steel Legion Drab, Agrax Earthshade(2)+Nuln Oil(1), Steel Legion Drab+Screaming Skull mix for highlighting

Belt buckle and the iron bits on the belt: Runefang silver, Nuln Oil

Anyway, that's how I painted my Han Solo figure. I've seen some of your Han Solos on the forum and if possible I'd like to see them and new ones as well. I'd also love to know what paints you used. I struggled with selecting the right color for the pants and I tried many mixes. Finally I was most happy with just plain Macragge Blue.

This figure also had quite bad mold lines which I was too lazy to remove and now they're bugging me. I might donate this to my work colleague who's a Star Wars fan and buy myself a new figure to paint.

Thank you, Stormtrooper721. I'm afraid my stormtroopers are not much to look at. Maybe I'll take a photo of them from first painted to last painted. First figure I ever painted was a stormtrooper.

Here's Kayn Somos and Heavy Stormtroopers though (I put them in a spoiler tag so that they don't steal the attention from Han Solo(s) ) .

Hey in all seriousness... if you feel that you really want to paint him over, I'll trade you my unpainted one for yours. I'm always looking to help out a fellow painter (and myself). Though honestly I'd just slightly ink the face to get more details and I think its perfect. But contact me if you want to trade ;-)

Nice job with the hair Sparkglow and overall on the figure. The hair just looks so much better than on my figure.

So no one has painted Han with grey hair like in the new movie? :)

I thought about that. It wouldn't be too hard to file the edge between the vest and the shirt to make it look like he's wearing a jacket and not a vest. Of course it would also require some green stuff to smooth out some of the wrinkles in the shirt as his jacket is less "flowy". Then it would paint on just like the navy blue jacket that he has in the trailer.
