Very nice looking figure.  I’m impressed by the use of soft goods. Well made, sir!

Thanks. I'm not a great seamster (seam-master?), but the soft goods were really important to get the look of the character. I may yet come back and use some fabric paint to give the poncho a second color like in the reference pics, but we'll see.

Thanks so much IABF - the card art was neat enough I thought I would make a stab at building him in 3D.

I really enjoy your custom figures! It's always amazing how you create new and interesting characters for the Star Wars universe. I wish Disney would've had your talent for the Sequels, too...

Thanks so much! Yeah, I wish the Sequels had taken a different tack, but they're just movies. The joy of our hobby is that we can re-vision things in plastic form!

Thanks - he was a fun build. I'm happy with how he turned out and he hasn't lost any "playability."

I like it, spot on with the guy on the Vendor playset. The scratch built hat looks great.

Thanks JDeck! Took a while to figure out what medium to use for the hat.

Hey, for anyone who's interested. I was doing some digging around for concept art from Solo and found out that the Vandor playset art character that I built (Tewvee) is actually in the movie - I hardly could see him/it, but its the dealer in the first sabaac game on Vandor. It also turns out that the character design was originally one of the concepts for Enfys Nest. I found that all pretty interesting.

I actually just happened on the info - but though it was interesting enough to share:)
