I'm going to be brutally honest with you here. It looks amazing.

Wow, it is looking totally awesome!

The only thing that i think you could improve is the way you fasten your cape to the collar stud. It seems like you used the corner of the cape, but the attachment point should be much closer to the orange stripe. The corner of the cape is then tuck inside the jetpack upper ring/hook to prevent the cape from twisting around.

Thanks hunters! The cape attachment is a good point! I had it attached more centered first(there is a tiny hole above the stripe) but then it ended way above the knee (it is a MOW) time to get a new one is the woodman cape larger?

This build looks so, so good! Yet another great example for me to shoot for. The5thHorseman, I knew that the cape attachment wasn't pegged in the corner, but had no idea about the little corner being tucked into the jetpack strap! The things we learn on these boards...

Well, i didn't invent anything, i'm just sharing what i read on this board.

NemesisCustoms, I don't know if the Woodman capes are longer than the MOW. I guess he could forward you the dimensions if you ask him.

I will contact Woody, if necessary a custom size cape will do it

Looks great! Is the left shoulder armor just a little too far down and/or back?

Thanks for you feedback guys!

After 2 years of hesitation, i finally bought my first own lathe. I have made two metal upgrades for my boba this week...

First up, aluminum thruster greeblies

and a aluminum barrel for my resin Pulce 40, weathered with cold bluing

So pretty!! Now that you have a lathe, don't be afraid to branch out. Maybe consider doing barrels for ESB flamethrowers, knee darts, etc.

Excellent! Must be awesome to be able to make your own parts like that.

Yes it is great fun, but i will have to learn a lot. I never worked with metal before, the barrel took me 4 hours to do
Now that i have a lathe there is another problem... I will need a mill (-;

I will try to do a small run of the Pulce 40 barrels

Only a small upgrade, but it looks much better with some metal sticking out of the holster
