    Seeker's Jango Fett Upgrades 2011

    Made a few adjustments for an upcoming Convention this weekend. Just wanted to show the before and after. These images are the before. I'll be doing a summer overhaul on my Jango this year. I think its time for an upgrade.

    check out the rest of the 8 images here.

    Looks awesome! Quick question: what do you use for your Holster Guide on the cod (I know it's not actually part of the cod)???

    It's about time you reworked your suit. One thing we all could agree on was how HORRIBLE it looked.

    If you are going to upgrade that, I want to be first in line for your hand me downs, lol. It looks great now... I cant imagine how good it will look later.

    I agree with everyone else. The only way to "upgrade" that is to look like Temuera, himself

    But he does already look like a clone......

    I saw a pic of Seeker at a convention once and actually thought it was Temuera Morrison.

    then I guess the next logical step from there is to find a Daniel Logan lookalike to walk around with at cons

    I'll be second in line for hand-me-downs, especially since I am almost the identical build to you Seeker my brother

    Have you seen Arturo?

    At the very least he could be Temuera Morrison's stunt double!


    By the way? Whay exactly are you upgrading? I've seen this suit in person at CV and I thought it was perfect!

    Seeker,

    Those are some outstanding photos!

    Love the backdrop too..works really well.

    Looks just like my basement...had no idea with proper lighting it would look that good on camera?

    Excellent job all around..

    I never get tire looking your photos, You were one of my references years ago when i was making my new jango costume. I did some upgrade to my costume specially to my helmet for the Lucasfilm event in Puerto Rico, and i still want to make another upgrades, one of them is a new jetpack harness vest, i like the one you made. I'm looking to buy one near in the future right now i have other priority. I can't wait to see your new Jango's upgrade.

    because your last one was sooooo inaccurate

    How dare you! I can't believe you walked around with that inaccurate jetpack for SOOOO long.

    I know right. I just really enjoyed the 3 pound MLC jetpack pack. RS Props Jetpack is pretty light too.

    I never wanted those 25 lb resin sold nowadays.

    Q1: Are these new? Or have they been in production for some time?
    Q2: On your pre-paint pics, is that cold cast resin on the fuel tanks?
    Q3: What did you use for the light blue color?
    Q4: How long was the build time to get yours?
    Q5: How much does this weigh in comparison to a MoW jetpack or what you were using?

    This is one of the best Jango outfits I've seen on the forum. Did they use you in an episode II stunt?

    Re: Seeker's Jango Fett Upgrades 2011

    there is a distinct size difference. The new one looks about 15% smaller.

    I notice you went with some different colors on the pack too. The new one looks great. I have this on my wish list, I like the MOW I have now but I really want one of these as an accuracy upgrade. I learned several things while watching the build thread on this pack last year.

    Looks great Seeker, keep up the good work.

    Thanks guys.

    Mullreel - it's the same color, but I have a brownish wash on the first one. Its just years of recoloring and adding natural weathering.

    I've always admired your suit Arturo, one of the best ones out there.

    I might be interested in upgradeing to one of your jetpack harnesses... if you wouldn't mind PMing me a price quote that is.

    Q1: Are these new? Or have they been in production for some time?
    Been in production for some time. look for BobbyfettUK or RS Prop Masters.

    Q2: On your pre-paint pics, is that cold cast resin on the fuel tanks?
    Yes Cold Cast

    Q3: What did you use for the light blue color?



    Q4: How long was the build time to get yours?
    Depending on his work load I guess. But there's no building involved in my part, just glueing parts down.

    Q5: How much does this weigh in comparison to a MoW jetpack or what you were using?
    Never seen or held a MOW jetpack in person, but i have heard they are a bit heavy. My MLC was pretty light, about 3 to 4 lbs. This new one is about 5 to 7./QUOTE]

    Re: Seeker's Jango Fett Upgrades 2011

    I can attest to MoW being quite a bit heavier... I have a classic MLC Kamino pack and it is SUPER light compared to the MoW arena I have... I might be persuaded to sell it and get one of these

    Going Classic for this 2013 summer.

    RS Prop masters Classic Jetpack

    White paint up.



    Yellow orange paint up.



    Been testing out different blues for the main body. I like this one so far. It's the Royal blue used on the helmet.



    I'm also gonna try out this blue. Its the Caution Blue by Rustoleum on the left Royal Blue on the right.
