If you're building a full size replica of your favorite frozen smuggler popsicle and need some parts, here's a shop with almost everything you'll need for the highest accuracy HiC build possible.

Woah there's a lot here. Where do I start?

Well, that depends on how accurate of a build you plan to pursue. I suggest you check out this build video so you can get a feel for all of the steps of the build. If you don't want to read and just want to order, I suggest to grab the core panel kit and the box kit. This will provide you with all the parts you need to build the accurate box and side panels (minus supplies like glue.) You'll still need han himself and electronics

Here's a list of everything you could possibly need to get it as perfect as possible.

Box kit - this is a 12 piece wooden kit that allows you to build the ~2.5'x7' wonky frame Han is encased in. It's got funky angles on purpose to match the screen used prop as well as perfect side cutouts for the control panels. This is the number one recommended purchase as it'll save you tons of time, even if you already are a skilled woodworker.

Core Panel Kit - this includes the 8 side panels, backings, decals, greeblies, extra nuts and bolts. It is intended to create an easier checkout process for you so you don't miss parts for panels.

8 Side Panels - these are the 8 plastic parts that go on the sides of Han. They are injection molded Volvo dashboard panel replicas. You'll need eight of them, four per side. They get decorated with all sorts of components, decals and lights. Extensive work was done to recreate this perfectly and you won't find a more accurate or less expensive version. These are included in the core panel kit.

Pre-cut Backings - This is almost considered a must buy if you get the panels from me. It's metal backings for the panels that fir perfectly and close over the windows in the panels, so you have a surface to attach the greeblies to. These are included in the core panel kit.

Decal and window pack - This pack contains all the stickers you need, as well as the plastic for the window openings on the first panel (top right, by Han's left ear.) It has holes cut out for lights, sold elsewhere. Some people choose to build a second hero panel as alternate panel 5, (the one by Han's right ear, top left.) If you plan on doing this, you should order two sets of this window pack. All of these are included in the core panel kit.

Greeblies - Greeblies are little detail pieces that get put on the side panels. These are screws, rings, clips, discs, nipples etc. all that go on the sides of the prop. Meticulous research and recreation has gone into identifying and producing these components. If you're not as die hard as some, you might decorate the side panels however you like, but if you're dead-set on accuracy like many are in this hobby, you'll want to get these so you can have your prop be as close to the real thing as you can. We offer a master pack which comes with all the greeblies you need, which are around 100 metal greeblies and the free plastic ones, or you can pick and choose which ones you want. These metal greeblies include the 20 u-clips, nuts and bolts, 10 cups, 18 rings, 4 small tubes, 6 D-discs and metal grills. The plastic parts are the nipples, t-sliders, and several other plastic parts. All of these are included in the core panel kit.

Top and bottom vacuum formed pockets - This is a set of black vacuum formed recessed rectangularish shapes that go above Han's head on the top panel or below his feet on the bottom panel. You can order them as top only, bottom only, or the whole set of all six. There is definitely some detail that we see on screen that has not yet been identified. We don't have any good photos of what the top or bottom of Han looks like except for one when it is on a shelf in storage. That storage shelf picture is what we've used to create these recessed pockets. I'd suggest them to anyone who wants something complete or knows that they're top or bottom of Han will be in view and wants to add extra details.

Display Base - This is totally optional but looks very cool. It's a wooden base kit to mount your HiC freestanding at a con, or just display it nicely by a wall. The base has a similar pattern to the Bespin freezing chamber, and comes with lights and diffuser material to get a very impressive glow.

Electronics for panel #1, #2, and #5* (alternate) - I don't offer these parts.

Some people do an alternate panel #5, a second hero panel, as seen in the hallway scene of Empire Strikes Back. You'll need a second set of hero panel greeblies for this, plus a second set of lights, and the alternate grill.

What paint colors should I use?

Colors seen in the build video above:

Rustoleum Soft Iron Flat for the frame
Rustoleum Universal Flat Antique Nickel Metallic Spray Paint and Primer for Han and Carbonite
Rustoleum Satin Metallic Aluminum for the hero panel

I've also used titanium silver from rustoleum and dark metallic from krylon on other builds.

But please pick the colors you like; there's no right answer for this question.

This is a two part epoxy clay used to patch holes and seams.

I use this to attach the Han parts to the box.

Han himself - I don't offer these parts.

Here's a video of me and Adam Savage of Mythbusters and Tested fame building his Han in Carbonite at his shop as a One Day Build:
