Soooooo.... After waiting over 4 months from the shipped date from Boba Maker on a replica Pulce and Nemrod, I had the opportunity to buy a real Pulce and Nemrod.

I figured the Boba Maker set was probably lost in the mail somewhere between Portugal and California since it had been so long.

Yesterday, the Boba Maker set actually arrived. And today, the real Pulce and Nemrod arrived... Well... Now I can use the BM set to modify and paint the real set. One for display and one for trooping.

It's always good to have a back up ..... just in case !

Nice! Never can have too many toys. Just an observation, but is the barrel on the BM one bent or is it just sitting at a weird angle?

The Boba Maker barrel tip is rubber and appears to have been crunched during shipping.

Bummer. Hopefully it can be straightened out.

Bummer. Hopefully it can be straightened out.

Will probably replace it with a metal tip at this point.

Do you think you could straighten it with heat? (Boiling water or gentle heat from heat gun?)

 

[boba87fett]

I might try
