Wow, Solo looks really good.   I would love to see a 3.75 scale version, even 5POA.

Thank you! I was a bit nervous painting this figure because it was hard to find, if I messed up I'd be really pissed. Luckily though it worked out. There is a TFA Han Solo figure in the 3.75 scale, so far its 5POA though.

I fixed Han's hair again, this time on the 3.75" figure. I used the same technique as before - dry brushed with a dark gray, then again with a lighter gray. I also painted the tips of the cylinders on his jacket silver, as they should be.

That looks so much better! It really bugs me they don't have his hair at least a little bit grey. Off to share.

From what I've seen, you do not need to worry about ruining anything. 
A.  You're good.
B.  It's hard to mess up on the lackluster paint apps we've been getting.

Good job on 3.75 Solo BTW.  You'll get one more chance to practice your grey highlights.  SA 3.75 Solo, Leia and Phasma are going to be released soon.

Whether or not Hasbro gets them distributed or not is the question.  Those will no doubt be hard to find too.

BTW,  If you really want to impress people, you're going to have to repair the Joan Crawford eyebrows on TFA Leia.   ;)

Thanks man. I was just nervous as I never dry brushed before (and not realizing how insanely easy it is). While there are some gray streaks in Han's hair, its definitely more brown and its a shame we have to fix things like that to get them more movie accurate.

Not sure if I'm going to pick up Hoth Han part 2. Granted its a SA figure and I barely collect 5POA. I'm not sure if I want to get a figure where they based his appearance for about 10 minutes of screen time. The only other 5POA figure I have is Asty (I was getting him regardless as he's a pilot). I have Rey, Kylo Ren and a FO Stormtrooper from the SA line, and if those weren't made in that line I wouldn't even have bought them. I may change my mind when I see him though. It happened twice with the previous Han figures.

Regarding Leia, I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole haha.

I dry brushed yet another Han Solo figure tonight, this time on the new Black Series Starkiller Base figure. Same technique as with the past 2 Han figures, I dry brushed with a dark gray, then again with a lighter gray.

Even though it is an annoyance that we have to make corrections to our figures to be accurate, when its little things like this I don't mind.

Love the paint apps. They really do improve the figure.

Just a little something I put together quickly. Nothing special. Showing Han's character development but using the 6" Black Series figures.

Wouldn't it be cool if Hasbro did some Evolution Packs like they did years ago in 3.75" form, but this time in 6" form and Han Solo would be perfect, not to mention Luke, Leia, heck all of the main characters and of course the Imperial Troopers!
