    DAZ (bobamaker) makes some of the best stuff out there. Not taking away from others work and quality. I purchased most of my armor from DAZ, and I am more than happy with it.

    Haha, he better be painting it for me for that price! It's a great pack, but I just couldn't spend $500 on an item that I made myself for $15 worth of trash cans

    Great job DAZ, I hope to see more great work comming from you soon! Do you have any projects you're planning on next?

    I wonder if the harness comes with the diver buckle? That is, assuming that the harness will go around your waist. That'd be sweet if it did!

    Re: Bobamaker's Jetpack Released!

    It's one of the best looking packs I have seen. I was studying the pics and comparing the MLC v2 to DAZ's new scupt. They are both amazing and very close in detail.

    I will say that on Daz's the computer imaging he used to make his sculpts helped out a lot in making the details and edges a tad sharper on the pack. It looks like it was manufactured by a machine it is so precise.

    Now it all comes down to preference, and MLC has some competition.

    Whats the problem dude? I'm Alex, have you something to hide or just in a bad mood? Nothing wrong with first names, as when I last looked it wasn't a secret society!! And Daz's work is always first class, I will be getting his jp when I can afford it!!!!

    I also dont understand why we cannot write first names... I think that when the same BM post here, always ends writing his name, DAZ. So... what´s the problem ???

    Once again, and back to the topic, I will let you know when I received my brand new #2 JP, and take some pics to share with you all !!!

    I think the problem with first names lies in the fact that new people wont know who you're talking about; they know the residents by their screenname, not actual name.
    Personally, I can go either way; if you don't know who someone is referring to, you can ask.

    Re: Bobamaker's Jetpack Released!

    Publicly announcing names of a prop maker on a forum is just asking for GL to call in the law and get all the cool and neat stuff yanked for good from that maker. It’s happened before b/c people loosely used names and it will happen again if people keep it up. So chill out is a great idea, and that’s find if yall want to jump on me for making a statement that might be a little harsh. But in the long run the names should be left to PM and not posted in the open.


    BTW no my full name is not on my web page, last thing I need is a bunch of yahoos googling me.
