Hi there Thanks for the feedback. I did end up changing out my tape a while ago which stopped movement. The bolt from machinecraft was not around at the time. I may look at putting one in in future. I’ve got a second Fett to do, I’m helping someone else build a ROTJ Fett. May look at buying...

Fantastic job on the kit. Impressive scratch built kit. I second what others have said about spike breaking in some way. On my first troop I clipped a spike while walking on marble floor. It worked its way loose and then went skidding down a hall way. Thankfully it was at the end when walking...

I’ve purchased other star wars kits from traywick but not specifically this one. Great kits, easy to assemble and the parts all sit flush. You will need to fill and sand it but they come up great.

If you are looking to have the belt made, delta leatherworks makes really nice ones. Quick turn around too.

Hi and welcome I will echo what others have said research and patience are key with this. For me personally it took around 3 years from go to whoah. I can’t offer specific advice on ESB as such since mine is an ROTJ. But a lot of the vendors are the same. I used a lot of the same vendors...

So these are the promised updates I neglected to post. After the previous posts in July 2021. I ended up swapping out my stabiliser and beacon for machine craft ones. Wired up my jetpack electrics. Decals got added to jet pack. Collar piece got painted and fitted. Got my board back from...

Wow. It’s been a very long time since I updated this thread I feel bad. I did end up finishing it last month and have been trooping with it. I’ll post the missing updates this week.

Looks like they are on linked in and still have the same Instagram handle mentioned above as well. I always appreciate Warning posts about these kinds of things. Still sucks when people rip others off.

I’ve paid my RPF annual renewal in Feb. Can I please have premium reinstated?

Based off my existing vent I’d say yes. Yellow with black weathering. Have not painted the vent yet. Still in its lovely pristine state but this will change. :)

Also for interest sake. I got a set of machine craft parts for my friends JP. Comparison of IB and machine craft parts. Stabiliser hatching is different and top section moves. Beacon top is different in material and slot shape. Also got a replacement vent as my resin one cracked and broke in...

Finally full packed my kit away with jetpack. Fits like a dream. Also finally did my shoulder bell test fit while packing away. For some reason I had put the bolts on but did not do the test fit. Oops.

Interested to see responses to this question as well. Since I’m likely going to replace my IB top greeblies. After seeing IB and machine craft parts side by side I’m now thinking what other upgrades I should buy. It’s not that the IB ones are bad. The machine craft ones are just so beautifully...

Interested to see how well this fits. I got a 5 pin XLR and it was just a little too tall. I had to go a 3 pin instead. Mine is not a BM pack though. Fingers crossed yours fits.

More pictures forgive poor phone pictures. My SLR is dead flat. As mentioned earlier DVH painted the kit. My contribution so far is adding greeblies and re attaching the bits that came off on transit. Also trimming down and Velcroing the hatch. All I have left is paint the beacon middle and...
