I finished welding the jetpack together today. I know there’s been conversation about the scale of the MF files on my thread, but I did a little comparison shot and I think it’s actually pretty dead on. Minute told me it matched very closely to the Anovos Jetpack when he compared them. I’m not...

I thought one of the threads said using a blowtorch can help get the heat distortion effect. Of course this could be achieved with paint, but if I’m going down the realistic weathering path it’d be cool to do 95% of the weathering with real processes.

One of my favorite things about the dented helmet is stumbling onto an old thread that covers the exact subject I'm working on next: I stumbled on to BudaFett thread about achieving the rusted/worn look on the field marshal by giving it a ferric acid bath. Since I decided to go all out on the...

Wasted Fett

I finished the weathering achieved with sandpaper and files. Very pleased with it. It’s quite a luxury being able to wear a metal rifle like it would wear naturally. Now adding the painted on weathering next

Stock is sanded back and did the first round of surface scratches/ damage. I think it'll look really cool once the wood is brought back to the right color and the blackwash fills in the scratches

Stock has been successfully ruined. Now that the major chunk is out I’ll move on to the scratches and general weathering.

Well I'm always happy to send more business her way. I know she isn't actively selling jetpacks. Speaking of Neo... I recieved in the replacement EE3 stock castings from her. They look great! still need to do more cleanup on them, but they look way better than the 3D printed ones that came on...

Your parts list is perfect so far! I'd check out DrToothache ESB build thread (He makes the jetpack harness too and I highly recommend ordering from him). He has a CB flightsuit and his costume is immaculate. Clothears is the best flight suit you can get, but it's also the most expensive (ask me...

He’s not making them anymore right?

That I can’t say. That might be a question to ask MF on boba fett builders. Assuming the lineage/photogrammetry of his other parts I would hope the jet pack is a similar story.

I'm ashamed that I didn't immediately think to just import the full assembly into my slicer and get the measurements DERP. 31.24" x 23.3" x 7.32" Four years at the engineering academy wasted! You can reference the screenshot below to double check my hasty unit conversion from mm to inches.

They look so good! Truly a work of art.

Thanks. I don’t have those dimensions yet as I’ve only printed out 3/4 of the main body. The main body is approximately 16.5” x 17.5”. Bottom to top and fuel tank to fuel tank. Thats without the rocket assembly. Given that it’s a MF file I’m sure it’s very accurate to the screen used one. I...

Some updates on the Pulse 40: I've printed the main housing and barrel. The 12.5% tenacious mix printed well. I'm not sure how much it reduced the brittle nature of the ABS-like resin, but I figured it probably wasn't worth drop testing. Since the pulse is just going to be a passenger princess...
