So can I ask, has anyone managed to put together a better Han Solo? The official legion one... it just doesn’t feel like Harrison Ford to me, and Han Solo was always my favorite character, so i want him to “feel” right. Anyone converted one, or made/printed their own?

Someone, not sure who, fixed his hair with greenstuff.

@Mr Tough Guy is also converting him

Here's a shot of mine. Took some work to remove the Trenchcoat. Liquid Green stuff (comes in a paint tub) for the hair helped a lot. did a little shaving of the neck (a little saggy), worked the upper back/ neck when getting the vest sculpted so he didn't feel so hunched over. Sanded/filed the sleeves a little bit.

Reworked Leia's pose too, didn't really like the "lunging" look she had.

He comes out ok raw IMO, but I still prefer the IA mini

Still working on mine, but I think the easiest way to make him look better is to redo the hair, a bit more putty to hide that receding hairline does a lot IMHO, a second quick and easy fix is to reposition his left arm like @ Matroskin did, the trenchcoat you can take or leave, but if you shorten it, it will be a lot of work to fix it, you'll need to resculpt his right leg and add his holster.

There is one more option, Brother Vinnie did a Han Solo sized for Legion, although personally I wouldn't say it's necessarily better than the FFG one, it does have the bonus of having his iconic clothes instead of the trenchcoat, but IMHO the pose looks a bit like he's about to take a dump

@Digimortal that looks fantastic. I love your Han.

My Han is not my best work but I actually think the easiest thing to do is just make sure you paint his hairline just a touch further onto his forehead.

I actually think the figure is a pretty fair job capturing Harrison Ford, but faces are challenging because humans are hardwired to recognize faces with a high degree of precision. So the details really stand out.

I think in profile he looks great.

Konstantin Shikharev's sculpt feels a lot more like Harrison Ford to me:

And he has a Hoth version planned as well, so we can argue about the jacket being blue or brown all over again...

Andy, did you do any resculpting? The hair certainly does look different...

Sorry, I have been traveling for work and just not checking into the forums.

No, I didn’t do any resculpting. I wouldn’t even know where to begin. All I did was make sure that I painted his hair and then extended the painting down his forehead just a tiny bit. This sounds odd, but the sculpt is actually a bit ambiguous because of the way the hair curls. If you zoom in as much as possible on the first pick above you can see there is brown paint on a very small part of his flat forehead. I wouldn’t suggest this trick is going to win anybody any golden brush awards but it is huge in terms of minimizing the “fivehead” look of the sculpt. I think a lot of people are accidentally doing the reverse, where the flesh paint is actually encroaching on what should be hair. In either case, it is a very small detail that radically (in my opinion) improves the impression of the figure from normal viewing distance.

The Brother Vinnie one is way to small I cannot recommend it. I needed to put it on some cork. Still looks too small.

Here is my Solo. I cut off his trenchcoat below the waist. Added greenstuff details on the vest and added greenstuff to his hairline, so his forhead wasn't so large.

Oh that looks fantastic!

Here is my Green Stuff mod of Han Solo.

Hoth Han. Mmmm. Would like to get one of those!

Still waiting for my packet of Hoth rebels from Konstantin. Russian mail "misplaced" it so he had to send another one.

I did receive the non-Hoth Han though.
