blue or greenish??

I think many of you would say I have fallen to the darkside... I'm going to change my ESB Fett into a ROTJ one..
gonna buy some new parts and repaint others.

one of those repaintable items is the jet pack... now I have a few pics from Brak's Buddy... but uhw... is the jet pack greenish or blueish??
my gut tells me its blue, but my Unleashed figure has it's jet pack that exact green like colour....

wich one is the way to go for 1:1??

i like the look of the green. but if you r looking for screen acuracy then go blue

blue is better

Blue is better, it makes your jet pack silky and smooth.

blue is the correct color

NNNOOOOOOOO!!!!! Say it ain't so!!! Your ESB was looking so good too !!!!! I think the real ROTJ pack is blue

Its definitly blue.

lol, well its not THAT good... I just want 1:1... dead on, and with the aosw en mom pics that is a possibility. (I can paint... if I have good ref material..)

perhaps someday when money starts growing on my back I'll make another Fett... ESB

I do want to make atleast another ESB bucket, but after the ROTJ bucket...

think I'm gonna have to improvise a little though... My Jet Pack is a Bradley one, and especially the center stripe looks a little to thin to fit on all the weathering you see on the AOSW pics...

first sanding it again ofcourse, then some primer and then I can get to work...

blue it is then... thnx people.

what made you change you mind?

IF you have too do it, then blue is the colour to go with. IF you have too...

Progress pics! We want to see progress pics!

<------- ESB Fett is the best!

will do people, I actually have a digi cam now so... well that should be interesting.

I'll make a new thread when I get started, keep an eye out for it in the jet pack section, something like : ESB 2 ROTJ conversion... blasfemy...

You should sell it since the paintjob is so good, and just get a new one.

the availability of ref material for the most part.

i'm getting a new armor set soon, and I want it to be top notch.
not improvised at all, just 1:1, I know I can get close...

the custom weathering on my current suit is still the biggest nail to my coffin... I mean it looks nice, but its not accurate at all...

And well... gives me something to do
I must say... the ROTJ jet pack has always appealed to me... looks like a challenge :jet pack

Just an observation, but you'll notice that all the greens look more pronounced in the photo on the left from your above comparison. From all the ROTJ pics we've seen, including the Prepro, the color certainly appears to be blue.

I agree,, its just the picture,, look at the colour difference in the helmets. I beleive these pictures were taken at 2 different shows. Could have been the lighting that effected the picture.

I like the look of that green ROTJ jet pack, but it is not canon in colour.

This is so true....notice the back of the helmet as well. It's why I made my ESB more of the blueish tint rather than green. The jet pack we KNOW is blue....

Not sure how I missed this thread the first time,but it definitely makes me more confident in the rear of the ESB helmet being more blue from those pictures.

I think I'll save it

I don't know guys...I think that Green is the correct color. Yes...Yes Green is correct...






GREEN IS THE RIGHT COLOR!!!!

Oh don't worry.....I'm green all over baby8)

Steve

Is it me or does that jp beacon look weird in that pic.

Well, the green is ESB style, ROTJ has blue for the most part on it.

Oh, oh but green is the RIGHT color. You must stick with green.

i just had the chance to see a rotj stunt pack up close... hopefully this will help with the color discussion:







i tried to get the white balance on the camera as "right" as possible to ensure accurate color matching.

it did look *slightly* greener in person, but only very, very slightly. i know that screen colors are all subject to calibration and such, but on my screen at least, that looks almost exactly like it did up close (this is in steve sansweet's collection, so i trust the authenticity of it, despite the plaque saying esb)

it looks better with the blue anyhow...
the green looks a bit odd with the rest of the colors on the ROTJ jet pack...

I like that green, but it is not canon, so I wouldn't even think of painting mine that way.

Well, if you want to be like a real mandalorian, it shuold be blue.......

erh..?

right...

hm, just to let ya all know, I posted this thing months ago because I was confused by the reference material available and was about to start repainting my own jet pack.

think it's pretty clear now it is actually blue... but it was clear for me months ago aswell, mostly due to Tylerdurden's post and I actually made myn blue...

also, tk7602's post with the pictures was very helpfull, specially for people who are equally confused as I was back then thnx!!

so that about wraps up the point of this thread, if you know what I'm gettin' at...
