Hey Ice, yeah I did, a little over a week ago. My laptop has been in the shop for the last week so I didn't have a chance to post pics, so here are some.
My observations are the jet pack body is a sound construction with a nice smooth surface to work with and paint, made out of a strong and thick layer of resin, but filled with foam that probably adds a tiny amount of weight and will need some carving out to run the dowl through for the thrusters and to make some room for an internal straping system. I asked him to leave the back plate off so that I could install a recessed door and he kindly obliged, however, I believe they come with a back plate as long as you don't ask to leave it off like I did. The resin pieces will need cleaning up and straightening. The four cylinder finals are unlevel by themselves and will need some sanding and accurate positioning on the body to make them look level on the jp body. The rocket base will need some sanding with 60 grit sandpaper to eliminate some oval warping to make it round, and the rocket tip needs some clean up as well. Of course all the little greblies and piano keys will need cleaning up too.
I made an arena jp out of my first one because the body needed so much work. I could do the same with this one and it would go a lot faster because the body is solid and ready to go, but I think I might attempt to put everything together as a classic jp just to see how it comes out.
All in all if someone doesn't mind the assembly work and cleaning, I think these are a great deal for the $200 price. I also have an MLC and hope to get one of the new MLCs and I love that jp and its weight, but I think these jps can be made to look very good with just a little more work and being acceptable of the extra weight.
Just my opinion and hope this helps, Cruzer
