jdfett Jango project

Yeah, the jet pack is actually not very weathered in the exhaust vent on the real thing. Those of us with the heavily darkened exhaust vent are technically inaccurate.
 
Yes and slotted and light beacons are inaccurate too but they look cool! Ok seriously weathering or no weathering in there it came out really good dude!!
 
Yeah, I figured if he had the slotted beacon - he might as well have a light!

It's funny, I am taking more creative liscense with Jango than I would ever consider for my Stormtrooper - everything has to be as close to canon as possible with that baby!
 
It's funny you should say that Tony. I am being as accurate as possible on my Jango. Trying not to take any liberties...except on my jet pack.
 
i hear that..im trying for as close to possible with jango...after doing my wife's zam i wouldnt settle with anything else...except the cool aluminum beacon..hehe
 
You know the more I think about it...I guess I am the same way...not sure what I was thinking when I said that :lol: Lapse of judgement??? Granted when I think of the flight suit - I feel it should be more blue than purple-ish... Even though it is more on the purple side...well not purple...but you know.. :facepalm

I guess I am just not being as much of a stickler with it as I do with my TK (granted I need another set of TK armor until I am happy with it...) There are always upgrades!!!
 
had a helmet paint question....i noticed on my gentle giant jango bust that the ears are a third color varioation from the rest of the helmet. is that a mess up on GG part...or does the actual helmet have three different colors. if so or if not whats the color scheme for the ears and range finder
 
Heres a pic i saved.

It looks like the same colors as the cheeks.
 
I wouldn't rely on the GG too much. While some of them have great detail they are still an artists recreation - not an exact scaled replica.

For example the ANH Stormtrooper busts, they have great helmet detail, correct grey and blue ab button color - but have a ROTJ E-11 (Canadian Sterling with hammer greeblies on the side).
 
The only thing I would say about the dark blue is the rustoleum is a touch off the studio helmet looks to have a light touch of green but in darker light it looks spot on.
 
got my loanstar vest and flightsuit in today...but the neck seal wasn't with the stuff...hopefully i can get him to send it...things always seem to go rough for me when buying costume parts...i just dont get it! LOL

was a bit disappointed when i saw the shoulders of the vest were glued on...i may run a stitch on them through the piping seam as the glue was seperating on arrival.

I was wondering if anyone else who bought this vest did anything to help keep the shoulders down? velcro maybe? or does the weight of the armor keep them from sticking straight out?
 
Your shoulders actually look to big to me... :facepalm

And your face is alittle inaccurate...it should look more like this:

not too much i can do about the face...seeker has that market cornered! but actually the shoulders of the vest line up with the outside of my shoulders. The leather is just kind of rigid and they stay put, even when it isnt being worn...i know his vest shoulders stick out a little but im hoping the armor will weigh it down some
 
:lol:

Ok yeah, I just double checked, I guess the shoulder flaps are fine - I guess worse case you could always secrue some thing heavy under the shoulder armor??
 
i was thinking maybe some velcro but that may pull them too tight...ill hang some armor from them and see how they look
 
got around to painting my aluminum ears while ive been waiting on delivery of the other paint i need for the helmet. I sanded a little on the edges for weathering and still need to add the black and brown "dirt" when it comes in with the paint.
