Custom LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens | Chewbacca, Han Solo, & General Leia
In my batch of figures from Star Wars: The Force Awakens I also made 3 of the Original Trilogy characters: Chewy, Han Solo, and General Leia.
Chewbacca
With Chewy, I knew I had to make him significantly taller than the normal sized LEGO minifigure. With help from Dylan/TheMooseFigs, Billy/billbobful, and their respective limb extension techniques, I was able to make Chewy the right height and keep his proportions correct. After extending the limbs, I used Procreate to sculpt onto his legs and arms so they wouldn't look so thin compared with LEGO's head/torso mold. Then I painted everything a dark brown, added the initial areas of dark tan/brown, then did a lot of dry brushing to try to get the two colors to fuse together. Toes were also painted on.
His Bowcaster is made out of a LEGO Crossbow, 2 LEGO Rifle scopes, BrickArms M4 muzzle, BrickArms Sten Gun collapsible stock, wire, and procreate.
Han Solo
Han is my favorite hero from the OT, so I was really looking forward to making his figure.
His legs were initially reddish brown, then I added on the dark brown boots and dark brown holster/belt which was outlined in a more of a glossier black since regular matte black would blend in too much. Some silver and gunmetal details were painted on for the buckles and such. The torso was a plain white torso with the collar painted on in dark grey, then other details and wrinkles were added on in a light grey. His jacket is a modified CapeMadness vest painted dark brown, along with his arms. On his vest, I glued on a modified TinyTactical Chemlight unit which was painted up. Other details were painted onto the vest in black and gloss black. Han's face is the regular Han Solo face with the color of the eyebrows altered and some wrinkles added on. The hair was washed in dark brown. His weapon is a BrickArms DL-44 with a gunmetal muzzle, brown grip, and washed in gunmetal/silver.
General Leia
There weren't a lot of reference photos for Leia out there, so some of this figure is a little inaccurate. She wears a sand grayish-green jumpsuit, so I had to mix that color. She has black boots, and a black belt with silver buckle. On her torso, I painted various details in black as well as dark green. Her vest is a modified CapeMadness trench coat painted purple, and details added on in gloss black. Her face is the TLG Leia face with the eyebrows painted and some wrinkles added on, and the hair was painted dark tan, washed in brown, then washed in grey.
Let me know what you all think, I'd really appreciate it!
