10 pieces make up Luke's head, 4 in the neck, the face, a core block, and 4 pieces for the hair...

looks good as it is, but I think I'm gonna make his hair "pop" by shading and highlights.

Coming out great. The face is kind of "greasy" looking, maybe a layer of a semi flat clear to make it more realistic?

The pose he's in is as close to a screen accurate pose showing off the blaster, the helmet, and his face, as I could come up with... apparently on screen he left the helmet in Leia's cell...
