Boba Fett by M <0> <0> DSWIM

It's very, very calm at the moment: Little or no interesting information and no or few interesting MOCs to eat ...

I take this opportunity to post here this magnificent Boba Fett to scale Midi Mood Scale recently proposed by Kevin Ryhal aka MOODSWIM.

Speaking of MOCs, a few days ago I came across an interesting topic opened by HJR on Eurobricks entitled: "Are Star Wars MOC Builders becoming a dying breed? (Are Star Wars OMCs an endangered species?)"

The creator of the topic mentions his disappointment to see the number of Star Wars MOCs presented on EB, FBTB or even IDS decrease significantly in favor of photos of minifigs of all kinds (The adventures of Joe the Stormtrooper at the beach, on vacation , bad jokes featuring minifigs, Instagram to all the sauces, etc ...)

The answers posted by different MOCs shed some light on the reasons for the disappearance of Star Wars MOCs from the most prominent forums. Lack of time, limited budget, limited interest in reproducing certain ships or machines already offered by LEGO or by other MOCeurs, criticisms not always constructive from the readers of these forums which discourage MOCeurs, etc ... There are many reasons to explain this drop in the number of Star Wars MOCs visible on the internet.

There is no doubt, however, that several projects are in progress and that the MOCeurs concerned do not always communicate in real time on their work before being able to present a successful creation.
Not to mention the many fans of the Star Wars range and universe who focus almost exclusively on the minifig collection and for whom LEGO has long been a non-player.construction game"...

Do you also have the feeling that (real) Star Wars MOCs are becoming increasingly rare?
