Hey RobaFett, If that is your work in the photo you posted, I have to say very good work, keep it up.
This is one of the reasons this forum is here, to share info, tips and techniques. I have learned allot for others that where here before me.
Hey FettSeven, no sign of the pack yet. Hopefully it turns up today

More progress pics, I've been asked why don't I have the piano keys molded in. The answer is , I only have one JP body mold. The "base" of the pack will serve as a Classic and Arena JP. So with that said I add the piano keys after. Yep, I glue them one piece at a time, fun stuff.
One sexy jetpack

Spectacular stuff!
Casted up a few more parts of the kit. Glued down the base of the rocket, aka the Castle Ring. Fitted the rocket into its base.
Looking good Bro!!!
Ditto to that!
Haven't posted much on the jet pack build lately, so the next update is for an Arena pack kit I'm developing. The bits in the photo are the side bolts on the Jango pack. The title of the photo is call "scratch, mold and cast"
I know this is a Boba thread, but it all stems from the same JP, its all good.
Looks AWESOME!!!
Looking good Jesse.
Nice work mate. Has anyone got any specs or picks on the switches that appear on the bottom of the jet pack and where they are placed?
Reference photos for the electrical connectors at the bottom of the pack can be found in the "Gallery".
Getting back to Boba pack. More progress pics. Side thruster assembly
Love it!

INCREDIBLE WORK!
Nicely done as always.
Thank you everybody for the complements.
Gracias a todos
Payment Sent! It's almost been a full year of posts but I am very thankful to have such a light weight Jetpack!
The other day my Jetpack arrived and I have to say it was a terrific investment! A few years ago I dove in and painted up my own jetpack after spending hours researching what rattle cans I needed so on so forth. That jetpack wound up weighing in at 12 pounds and was a pain to wear. The weight also made me totally nervous about dropping it.
Being able to purchase a great jetpack with terrific paint is amazing. The packaging was immaculate and Fett Seven is probably the most accessible via PM over anyone else I have interacted with on this board. The fact that this jetpack it is a quarter of the weight from before is mind blowing. These pictures don't do it justice, but this is what I received.
that is awesome work
