Thanks guys
So i was hoping to convert this ROTJ Jetpack I picked up from METALLBOY some time back. METALLBOY did a great job with the build and paint but it did look a bit beat-up, but that in my opinion is what made it look so cool / battle worn. i was hoping color match some ROTJ scratches then apply PP2 damage, marks and weathering. OK here's how it came down.
I added some real found parts.
Here's my DARKSIDE aluminum parts
I cut out room for the milled aluminum parts
Here's where i realized i couldn't use this pack anymore
My cool *** DARKSIDE collar wasn't going to work with this jetpack D'oh! if i cut the rocket down a bit it just wouldn't look right.
OK looks like I'll need a MOW JP kit for my build after all. I'm going to save the above jetpack for a custom Mandalorian build. Back on the wall she goes.

Over the holidays i found these cool heavy tool totes/cases and i had an idea
Just a quick update, my MOW-PP2 gauntlet set now feature all known found parts. It was a long shot but i found and have since then added a real Glenross dental expansion screw.
Here's a pic or two with the added Glenross expansion part.
OK i have a MOW jet pack on the way and I'm looking forward to diving into that build.
Later guys

Thanks Mr. I'm kinda in a holding pattern ATM, i ordered my MOW jet pack cant wait for that to come in. i'm looking forward to cleaning it up but i was thinking about possibly commissioning out that paint work. That large a piece is a bit intimidating for me, we'll see I'm calling it a game time decision.

OK all parts washed, time to start building. so i was checking out the parts over coffee and i thought i would make things interesting.
Going with retractable fins albeit manual movement. Rocket is going to be a two piece unit, bottom half screw on and the top portion rare earth magnet attachment. I rounded off the fin tips to assist with movement. I taped a toothpick to the back of each fin to serve as a temporary spacer then i drilled the pivot points. once the holes were drilled i used small nails with cut off heads as setting pins. Also i added small cardboard washers in-between the fins and the rocket sidewalls to stiffen up the movement. Thrusters were trimmed and aluminum pieces fitted.
That's all for today

SYPER's Pre-Pro 2 Build
Jp kicking my arrssss but I'm having fun. I'm planing to fully build it, test it, tear it down then send it off for paint. I have a ton of pics and plan on showing all TDH members how to add these effects for themselves. I'm going to install activation buttons in my ammo pouches. I'll have more on that later, here's some progress pics
