Hi everybody

Well here goes , im new to the site and have made a start scatchbuiding the jetpack which is 80% done , made from cardboard tubes signmaking material filler and copious amounts of zap a gap .

Still alot of details to finish also i need to make the thrusters, which leads me to the question what diameter ball is used for these parts ?

Also pictured is the helmet Im starting with which looks loke a good start point .

Will update as i go along but this could all take along time so wish me luck.

Cheers

Wow, great work on the scratch build ups. Check out WizardofFlight templates for the the Jetpack. His pack is small, but you can use it as a start to base scale. http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/studio-scale-15-jet-pack-patterns-7559/

Nice scratch builds. You're off to a great start. That blaster looks great.
I couldn't help but notice the ESB/ROTJ in your thread title. Which way are you going or will it be a hybrid of both?

Hi thanks for the kind comments on blaster this took some build time believe me but really enjoyed the build .
The esb/rotj mix up is only going to be the blaster ,i am definitely steering toward the ESB style and want to make it well weathered and battle damaged .
Have done some more research and found bobamaker does some great fett stuff and is based in the uk so will go with a esb jumpsuit and flak jacket and attempt all the armour myself from scratch .

Bobamaker (aka Daz) is actually in the Algarve but his kit is top notch and that's where I have sourced most of my upgrades
