It's amazing what can be done to chap Mei with patience, paint, and decals. I did a huge conversion of a helicopter with them. Maybe I'll lost some photos?

I already have a VC Slave 1 and not wanting to spend 2 bills just for a Tusken Boba was my inspiration. Used a cloak from a VC 175 Luke that I painted black from a previously made Grogu rescue luke custom. I cut a little chest square from a fodder pile vader cape and the sling came from a fodder pile Aurra Sing rifle. Used some black string (singed the ends with a lighter, so string wouldn't fray) and weapons from a VC 199 Tusken Raider. I thought about painting the rifle sling darker brown and the boots black and then I decided to keep it simple and not alter the figure or paint. My son made the background with construction paper and took the pics.

That's great Lenny! I think keeping it simple is a good idea. Sometimes "good enough" is good enough, especially for play value. I think Boba turned out really well.

Your son using construction paper and a box was very clever. It actually works really well. Tell him he did a great job!

That's brilliant! Boba Fett is going to be released on VC card later on, but that's probably not before 2024. And that way you don't even have to rely on TungHori. Your custom looks like the real deal from the TV show! This is what customizing is all about, right?
Excellent work there - right in time to play NOW!

Now this is just slick. Nice way to show how it can be done. I can't imagine getting yet another Slave I myself. This shows them how to make this figure. Great dio by your soon too.

Cool idea! If Vader found Leia before Luke found him and Leia then fought against Luke on the light side. Interesting turn of events. I mean the Kenobi show made it so close for Vader to find his daughter. Are those 6 inch btw?  lvva

Very nice. Looks spot on from the show from what I can remember.

Can you give us the recipe for this? I think I recognize some of the parts, but a lot of folks will want to emulate this one.
