        Wow! That's amazing. Great job!
        The scale is so much better for Megos than 12" figure.

            That's an amazing transformation, but your will/desire to actually do it is really inspiring!

              Looks awesome! I like how you showed the different stages. I learned something new! I didn't know they made special spray paint for plastic.

                Fantastic! I love how you made it a four-seater to boot.

                  the raised up seats made from the plastic tub are brilliant. I would worry a little about paint transfer onto the figures if the seats were painted, but the frosted plastic looks great.

                    I actually did paint them, but forgot to take a pic. After 24 hours that paint dries well.

                    This is my learning version. Using Lego for the seat bottoms made it easier to slide them around for the best fit. The seat material is a $1 Target container that I sliced in half and cut to the seat shape. I got it close with a hand saw and them block sanded the rest of the way. I expect the Joker version to be a little more polished now that I have one under my belt.

                        I believe you were also going to repaint the old Charlie's Angels Hasbro Van. If you finished it, I would love to see it!

                          Looks great. It really is a better scale for 8” figures.
