Cool! Very faithful to the original, if memory serves. He should be very
well-preserved!

Wow, that's spectacular! All in dark grey too. How solid is it? Can it be
moved easily?

Coming in at just over 10,000 bricks, Han took about three months to build
from concept to finished model.

Wow, that’s is just too cool. What the heck inspired you to make this thing
life-size? What kind of internal structure did you use for it?
Good work!

Just one word - WOW.
Now, some more words:
Can you move it? Can you lift it up? Just how heavy and stable is that
thing? Are you ever going to take it apart? When will I stop asking
questions?

Thanks!
It's not solid at all. There is the outside frame, and then an interior
structure for support which is easily removable. The entire frame was built to
be mobile and folds down (there are LEGO hinges on the inside) to smaller
pieces. Therefore, yes, it can be moved easily and reassembled in a few
minutes.

Thanks! I think I just wanted to make something that hadn’t been done before.
As for the internal structure, it’s just a few cross beams used for support.
Nothing special. I made the cross beams and sides separate pieces that can
easily slide into one another us so that they could be disassembled or
reassembled easily.

Thanks! Yes, it's very mobile and yes it's very stable. I don't know if I will
ever take it apart, but I really don't have room for it so I might just put it
on a market some day soon. We'll see.

Okay, that's just too cool. When you knock it over does it make the same bang
the "real" one does? :-) Actually, a real question: does it stand on end? It'd
take a lot less space that way and would make a cool permanent wall display. I
hope you don't sell it, or at least I hope the buyer keeps it together.
You've mentioned the interior folds up for portability. That's pretty neat, and
us "how is that done?" folks would like to see pictures, if it's not too much
trouble?
Actually, it's my "portability schmortability, who's ever gonna move it?"
element that wants to know :-)

That is freakin' fantasic. You've captured the pained expression remarkably
well, and I particularly like how you did the hands.
One thing I've always wondered about the ol' Hansicle though: When he was
lowered into the pit his hands were bound together. So how did he get them into
that position when he was frozen then?
Inquiring minds want to know :)
Cheers,
Allister

Iirc, I thought there was the outline of the cuffs in the carbonite connecting
the hands. But it's been a long time since I watched eps 5 and 6
