Jango Arena Jet Pack (Stubby) Blueprints

Hello,

I have been getting back into the Fett swing of thinks and to start things off I went back and have complete redone the jet pack blueprints for both Jango and Boba. (Boba's will be posted later)

The original jet pack drawings were done few years ago and since then my reference library has grown significantly. So it was time to revisit these drawings. The originals were close and to see the differences in the two sets of drawings you would have to do an overlay. I am very pleased with this version.

Please take a look and let me know what you all think. Always looking for feedback.

Alan

Here are the Arena Rocketpack Blueprints, the templates will follow.

Very Nice--as usual!!

Jeanne

Hei Allan, one thing... :drool

;)

Real nice!!

beutiful!!!

now to find someone to build it.

Thank you!

I am working on the templates so stay tuned.

Alan

Alan...
Stunning work 'as usual' glad to see your back in the Fett swing of things bro! ;)

Any updates on this beauty?:)

The templates are completed! I just need to format them on 8.5"X11" paper so that folks can print them out. As mentioned in the gauntlet thread I upgraded all of my graphic software and I can now make PDF directly from AutoCAD. I just haven't had the time.

They're almost done.

Alan

I use this http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/ to create pdf files from ProE and SolidEdge. I don't have AutoCAD on this system, so I can't tell you if it works with that, but I don't see why not.

It is a free utility, and I am not affiliated with them at all.

Thank you for the link. I have to try it if the new software I have doesn't work. The software upgrades that I just installed are suppose to allow mw to use the plot command to plot directly to a PDF file. I am still working out how the process actually works. I also have the updated templates for the standard Jango/Boba Fett's rocket/jet pack ready to be converted to PDF.

Look for an update hopefully soon.

Alan

Perfect timing Alan!

Been waiting for these. When you get a chance can you email me the pdf's or any other version's you have.

i think you sent me 3 different typs of files before.

Send them all.

Awesome!

I haven't had the time to visit here much, but I just wanted to say that I will be posting gauntlet and Arena jet pack templates as soon as I can get to them. For now you and use the templates post over in the Boba Fett rockpack section. The body of both packs are basically the same.

The Stubby templates are done, but they need to convert to PDF, a somewhat time consuming process, (Boba's ended up being 57-8.5X11 pages.)

We add a new addition to our family the day after Christmas, a 5 year old little boy named Jake. The adoption process has been started, so real life events have been cutting in to my hobby time.

Hang in there.

Alan

I completely understand... we added a new addition the day before Christmas... a foster son... he was like 3 days old when we brought him home :)

Congrats Alan!

P.S. We really appreciate (or at least I know I do) everything you have done with the templates!!

A'den

any news?

I have a quick question.
If I were to print this out full size to get a 1:1 scale how big should I go? Could you maybe provide some reference dimensions that I could use to verify that I have plotted it at the right size?

Until I get the Arena templates completed and posted you can use the standard jetpack templates as a starting point: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/gallery2.php?g2_itemId=15447

Or you can use Skupilkinson’s Pep Arena pack templates: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/boba-jango-packs-26905/

My original templates are 15" wide (not including the rocket nozzles), but based on additional reference pics that have since surfaced I now believe that the standard Boba pack is 16 ¾” wide. Since Boba Fett is 6’ tall with medium build 16 ¾” wide seems to fit pretty well.

As for the correct size for a specific individual it really depends on how big you are. If you are 5’6” a standard size pack might be a tad big, as with the rest of the costume scale is very important. The actor that played Jango (Temuera Morrison) is only 5’7” so I suspect that the pack he used was scaled down to match his stature when compared to the one that Jeremy Bulloch used since Jeremy is 5” inches taller.

Just my 2 cents.

Alan

Nice work Wiz

I think the design you have at the top of this thread will serve my needs a little better as I can use it for visual reference as well.
So if I am understanding you correctly, the pack is 16 3/4" wide from the left-outside edge to the right-outside edge like I show in the attached image?
Thanks for your help WOF. I really appreciate it!

Thanks Seeker!

Jedi_Outcast77 - Yes, the overall width as you have it shown should be 16 3/4" for a 72" Fett.

Have a good one.

Alan

Nice to see you back, Alan. :) Your templates have been tremendously helpful to me for the multiple costumes -- male and female, Boba-based and Jango -- that I'm working on currently. I've tweaked your helmet template a bit to more closely reflect the measurements of the originals whilst still being symmetrical, but I couldn't have done it without your work to start from. :D I'd be delighted to discuss what my researches have turned up, if you're interested. In any case, I plan to extoll your part in these costumes' existance whenever anyone asks.

In the meantime, how are things going with the home front? With youre recent uptick in activity here, I presume all is well with your son? :)

Thanks! Glad to be of help.

PM - Sent.

Alan

is it up yet or ya still workin on it?
