Thanks :)

I'm going to do a modification on the Hutt tomorrow after I finish this work in progress.

WIP PICTURE  

This is how I am turning Jenn into "Wookielover1338 in Carbonite" for the latest Imperial Shipyards contest.

I traced and then cut plastic pieces from a plastic Chinese food container and turned them into the top and side panels of the carbonite block. I used a Han Solo in Carbonite as a template to trace the panels out so they turned out the right size. I then fastened the panels together with tape and then bonded them together with Apoxie Sculpt. I cut a silhouette of Jenn into the top panel. As a template I used the custom Wookielover1138 action figure that I created from the body of a CW Padme in Adventure Gear with the head of a Marion Ravenwood. I laid the action figure in his desired pose and traced around the action figure with a marker. So I then placed the action figure in the center of the cut out in the top panel and fastened the action figure in place with the Apoxie Sculpt. I finished today's work with priming the top panel with some grey paint.

Next I have to do all the sculpting on the side panels, sand and smooth out the top with more Apoxie Sculpt and then do all the painting to finish it up.

This is a technique that could be used with any action figure.

Since this photograph was taken, Jenn's left hand has been repositioned into a pose I preferred more.
