Looking at the pics taken by KaanE the thrusters don't angle that much.. hmm..

Hmmm.

Hmmm.

Angles, they hurt my head. Guess I can add epoxy to build up a slight layer to make the angle less prominent. Idk @.@

Yeah, I get that. Angles can absolutely screw things up.

You may want to check some more reference pics. I’ve seen them angled more than that. See if you can find some screen grabs of the thrusters. You can’t always trust the traveling displays.

You're absolutely correct.

Do you have any screenshots? Here is one where it's the same as the traveling displays.

The left side is slightly angled and the right is almost straight down? Or am I crazy?

 

[ShortFuse]

No I don’t have any but I can look around to see what I can find. I know I’ve seen them more angled. Or maybe I’m crazy.

Please, don't use CGI or stunt as reference.

I wont lol, but all the jetpack scenes are CGI? XD

Do you have any movie shots? If not I'll have to go dig up my AOTC.

 

[ShortFuse]

Just about all the available screen shots are cgi and those that are not do not show the thrusters. I found multiple pics of angled thrusters of other people’s builds. What reference were you using to get he angle you have?

 

[droidbait]

The above pictures and the traveling suits. Since they're identical to the CGI shots. So I will go with those. Left is angled and right almost straight.

 

[ShortFuse]

This is the reference picture from the 501st CRL. Looks like they’re both angled.

 

[KaanE]

Is that one the original suit? Pretty sure it's not.
I would stick to the promo pics and exhibits.

Seeker sent me pictures of his newer pack. It's less angled. I am personally going to go with the exhibit suit. I'm going to have the left thruster on a angle and the right thruster somewhat straight with a slight forward angle. I dont pay attention to the CRLs much. A lot of them are old CRLs and not updated. Plus this is a fun build. Not for 501st.

Thanks ShortFuse for looking.

 

[ShortFuse]

No problem. I do all of this for the fun of it too. I try not to stress out about exactness. We’re doing this for our enjoyment, right?

 

[droidbait]

I'm thinking that the right side is way to angled. I epoxied it.. I dont think it will be very easy to remove. .. right side looks good..

What do you think? Should I snap off the left side and try again?

 

[KaanE]

You should, or it will always bother you.

 

[droidbait]

You should, or it will always bother you.

Will do tomorrow~

 

[droidbait]

What do you guys think of this angle? I like it and ok with it. Sorry for the pic spam.

 

[KaanE]

Can you post a reference picture?
