I then turned the plaster bucket containing the hands upside down and began the slow and careful process of chipping away the white plaster keeping ever vigilant to watch for the red colored areas on the inside. Once plaster was solid I removed the boot tips from the plaster. We used a harder plaster and added a red pigment to it so that we could tell the difference between what we wanted to keep and what we needed to chip away.

We did the same thing with my boots.Once I wriggled my vaseline coated hands free of the plaster there were 2 large 'hand shaped cavities' in the bucket. I then submerged my hands into the plaster and left them there until the plaster hardened. We used a bucket and filled it with plaster of paris. So now we need to get the hands feet and face completed. Unfortunately My Photos are limited on the build because I built this way before cell phones were a thing and the few pics I did have were lost in a flood. I knew I couldnt make an actual Han Solo, but the more I thought about it the cooler it became to have a unique replica of myself frozen in carbonite!!!! Not many people have those! One night my oldest son and I were looking through a Star Wars magazine when we came across a replica of Han Solo frozen in carbonite, and they want some major ducks for it!! I absent mindedly said 'I could build one for way less than that!!' Instantly my 8 year old son starts asking, ' Really dad? Can you do it? Can I help?' so for the next few months I was buying Plaster of Paris and experimenting with how it worked and how I could possibly pull this thing off.

I brought my kids up watching these awesome movies. The crazy sets, the characters, THE LIGHT SABERS.OMG I was hooked!!įast forward to to 1999. Here I am again with yet another instructable from the awesome universe of Star Wars!!! My favorite one has always been The Empire Strikes Back! I was 11 years old in 1982 when it came out and it actually was my 1st Star Wars film to see.
