Boba fett esb continues

[emme3]

today i want talking about my jetpack,
you know jetpack cost a lot of cash but fortunally i founded a relatively cheap fiberglass kit from chuck ruffin (ruffintoys).
I'm honest, probably is not the best movie replica (as you can seen on jetpack collar or thrusters details) but i think is a perfect compromise between money and quality. so now i post some picture of the rough kit and of the final result.
i have also to say that unfortunately on shipping the packet took an hurt and comes craked on one side but with some easy fiberglass work i repaired it . moreover chuck refund partially me to so i am happy about it!
now the photos
here the crack :wacko


here the kit

here my work. i spent many time to make the surface smooth and removed the bubble or other excess of material . i fixed the rocket with a screw so i can put in/off the rocket .
i used spray cans because is still aven't the airbrush xD i hope you like the result , i'm pretty happy about it .


here the closing system with magnets and a rectangular steel 0,7 mm

today wanna post my progress with my handmade harness. i have to sat that the weight is very well balanced but it's very hard to wear it alone (maybe Boba Fett need always someone dress him?? xD).
Moreover i do not feel 100% safe about it, i made the clips and the hooks good but i'm scared about my movement, perhaps if i jump the hook can tear away! really don't want a big crash with my fiberglass jetpack !!! any advice please??

I love your harness build, I just modified a military harness it's super comfy but not at all "movie accurate"

thanks Notlewis thread ( http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/mid-budget-esb-built-49046/ ) I started re-making my armor, here is my new syntra armor on my new MOW flak vest, hope i will have the time to start painting it

Mate, great work so far and I feel honoured, that you followed my thread! :$ May I suggest some things? The decal on the shoulder armour sits a way too high, as you can see in this pic:


AND I think you should have taken two layers sintra for the edges of the armour, so it would look thicker and more curved.

Keep up the good work!

yes mate ! i think i will paint it like the chest, because the sticker i used on the shoulder was too small that's why !
i do not use 2 layers because i think it's too much and in screen used photo i saw it not so thick

before painting the gauntlets,
in this photo my jetpack push back the collar but i widened the holes in the back and now it's ok. is this flight suit too much colored? what do you think, have to bleach it a little more?

 

[GCNgamer128]

I would recommend toning down the flightsuit color, it's far too blue.
