Why vote for changes, shouldn't they all be done rather than choosing which are most important?

Here's the thing...we're re-doing the :jet pack . The Rocket, Thrusters, Stabililzer and Beacon are for sure. Wanna tweak things to make it just flat-out awesome?;) 8) (y)

well, the truth is, whenever I ask anyone to upgrade anything, I always list things by priority as to what is most important to me. To ask for everything sometimes could a be a little much because of all the work involved- also, its a way of being considerate of your artisan's effort.

If MLC could get everything, that would be great and all the more unbelievable on his part...but truth is, I think he will be able to get to a few things and I just want to be sure they are things that people all agree on so he could take that into consideration when making the upgrades.

Got Maul,

Nice idea. (y) Thanks for putting it together.

However, I did not see a vote for the vents on the bottom of the center tank. The vents on the current MLC run front to back, while the vents on the real pack run side to side. Can you add this comparison to you voting site?

If I could chime in here... I don't own an MLC pack but from what I've seen about them the details are lacking on the thrusters... even on the proposed revisions. If anyone has seen the MB2 pack I think his resin parts are a HUGE upgrade to the MLC ones. If Mardon could come closer to MBs detail pieces I think he'd have the absolute perfect jet pack!

Rex, will the beacon be hollow, for lighting purposes? Fiberglass or aluminum? I still haven't seen an accurate aluminum one since DeanO.

Thats a great bunch of comparison shots you put together there GM. One thing that always bothered me about the MLC, (other than the rocket & thrusters) is the overall shape of the backside of the pack, meaning... the side that has the attachment hooks with the big "hump". I dunno if this is being adressed yet or not, but don't see that particular area mentioned in GMs page. Anyway, the old MLC pack is very flat. You can see by some of GMs pics, that the whole backside of the original pack is kinda dish shaped...so it kinda conforms to your back a bit. Also, I'd like to see the "hump" be larger & thicker like the original. You can really see the difference in the side by side profile pics of the pack that GM has posted. Am I nuts, or has anyone else noticed this????

Hey,

I want you guys to see these pics. i knoticed afew things that are prolly common knolage but jusk incase i though you guys should know. the ESB pack seams to have a rocket base just like the ''old'' mlc pack but the ROTJ one is different. same with the sides of the ESB pack. they are a different shape than the ROTJ one. & asmost of you know the esb rocket has a rounder tip than the ROTJ one
so.. if MLC is to make a ultimate dentedhelmet JP i think they will need to make 2 different versions, both ESB & ROTJ. just my 2 cents.


>>>>edit. NM i was fooled. nwhat seamed to be different shape of the sides of the ESB was just the shadow of his cape. i dont know why i didnt knotice. but the rocket base still looks different between the two versions

You are ON the money bro. I tried capturing that in some of my shots but I guess fell short, but I do know what HUMP you are talking about for sure !!

SEEKER is going to be taking some other shots in the next couple of days guys...probably get exactly what you are guys are talking about and post them to the site. Thanks for the great feedback ! Hopefully MLC will consider some of these changes

Awesome! There are some excellent revision proposals!! MLC has his work cut out for him! 8)

The thruster detail is excellent, good job! Rocket accuracy is another area we are striving for.

Overall bodyshape...MLC is wrestling with that now.

As for the Beacon...Batninja, excellent thought on that. Making it possible to light it...would it need to be hollow, part clearish resin, part hollow fiberglass, etc? Hmmmm....

We're trying to get this :jet pack revisions done soon, so we can gear up for the new year...with a :jet pack that will satisfy the most die-hard accuracy Fett Fan!!

Man, it's going to be awesome. I can't wait.

8) (y) (y)

take care,

-Rex
