Thanks Chris and Mardon for the clarifications, and everyone's input.
Robert, thanks a lot bud for helping me out with this project. I'll be waiting for the mailman
. . .while I do that, I'll start making up a drawing based on the MoM ROTJ pack.
I'll also keep searching for more ESB ref. pics to work with.

If anyone has any good pictures I can use that is not on the cd, please e-mail it to me at forpoopinsilly@aol.com, I can use all the help I can get (especially if it is for Jango, ESB & ROTJ).

As for the helmet decals: The only thickness of vinyl that is available to us is 2mil (the same thickness as the chest and shoulder decals) so I don't know if this is acceptable for you guys. If you guys are interested though, I'll find the closest color I can get (or mix it) and I'll work on it after the jet-pack project.

Thanks again,
Ely

I'm not sure if you were refering to what I posted? I was simply stateing that several of the orginal decals on the jet pack are most likely made out the same letraset transfer compacta style fonts as the ESB helmet. check out this link and scroll down past the capitols and you'll see the "de" and "AE" like on the jet pack.

Hope that helps.

Thanks tk0000,
I'll check for the closest letter style I can find, but I'll most likely just digitize it in the computer since most of the old ones are fragmented any way (but could help with the Jango and Pre-pro version

).
My dad used to use letraset all the time (being a sign painter before computers), in fact I'll check if he still has some. Those were the ones that came in a sheet and you rubbed each letter off transfering them on another material, right. They were really thin. . . that explains why most of them has rubbed off in the exhibits.
Were these the same materials used for the "newer" Jango jet-pack?

Well, y'all know that I'm an ESB Boba kinda guy, but if you need Jango jet pack reference, check the pics on my site at:
http://www.dugan.ws/cel2/jango

I kinda think his jet pack symbols were painted on.

I'm not sure about jango, but you can still get the transfers, but they will cost you.

I forgot to post this, but here's what I've worked up so far.
ROTJ of course based on BB's MoM pics:

Feel free to make any comments/suggestions.
I didn't realize how small these were until I test cut some based on sizes DV1 gave me. Might be tough for vinyl, but I'll keep working on it.

The pic of the Jet Pack symbols I posted earlier in this thread, are precisely the ones I bought from MandalorianCostuming. Look at them and you could tell.

VashDStampede is updating those now, and working on a more accurate version.
