  MOC: Han Solo in Carbonite (life size)
 
Here's my latest SW addition: An actual size replica of Han Solo frozen in carbonite. (URL) in at just over 10,000 bricks, Han took about three months to build from concept to finished model. -Nathan Sawaya (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.starwars) !!

(...) Cool! Very faithful to the original, if memory serves. He should be very well-preserved! James Wilson Dallas TX Lugnet member 1783 (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) Wow, that's spectacular! All in dark grey too. How solid is it? Can it be moved easily? Adrian (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) 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! Jason Spears | (URL) BrickCentral> | (URL) MichLUG> (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

  Re: MOC: Han Solo in Carbonite (life size)
 
(...) 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. (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
 
  Re: MOC: Han Solo in Carbonite (life size)
 
(...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)
 
  Re: Han Solo in Carbonite (life size)
 
(...) 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. -Nathan (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
 
  Re: MOC: Han Solo in Carbonite (life size)
 
(...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 7-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

*drool* That is absolutely amazing, spectacular, and in a word, perfect. That is a *SWEET* model. -Stefan- (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.starwars)
