Jango Fett Open Seasons

[silver n black]

their was a thread about 2 or 3 mts ago about a guy tryins to sell ,or trade a bradley fett jet pack ,with armour ,and gounts .look for this thread about 2 or 3 pages back and contact him .you should im sure you can come to an agreement, or buy the hole thing for 300 and flip over the chest pieces and guant youl have no trouble getting rid of what you dont want. i think he wanted something close to 400 for the hole thing , but it was a grip of stuff.

Ok, Ive purchased a used stubby jet pack from another use here at TDH! I decided to go with stubby, because it always seemed more like the one in the comic than the normal JP, and painted silver (possibly with a mod to the rocket) it would look perfect for the part...least in my opinion, lol. Anyway here's a picture. (this is a pic he had posted, I dont have it at my house yet...the gauntlets and boots are not mine )

 

[Mercke Lutso]

That's impressive. May I ask how much it cost you?

 

[CasiusOntius]

It cost me a total, including shipping, of 320 dollars, only 20 dollars over my budget! YAY! :cheers

 

[CasiusOntius]

Today I'm working on painting up my bucket. I've got the priming finished...here's a nice pic and vid, and I'm about to go out and tape up/paint it silver. Enjoy.

After

<---Goal...lol

 

[CasiusOntius]

Ok, Im all finished for now...for today...

I have completed the painting on the helmet, and ear peices, minus the weathering, which I will do before I put the lens in, and all I need to do is find an RF stalk (anyone know where I can get one?) before I continue. Here's a couple of vids of my progress.

[Jango 425]

looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CasiusOntius]

Thanks! I've really been wanting to work on this lately, but I've been super busy. :wacko Hopefully I will have more progress pics soon. :facepalm




P.S. Anyone know where I can get an RF Stalk? I dont need anything fancy or hollow, just looking for one; already have the RF. Thanks!

 

[MandoWarrior87]

You tried BM? Looking great btw.

 

[twistedxknights]

seen afew aluminum rf stalks on Evil Bay

 

[CasiusOntius]

Thanks for the suggestions I ended up ordering one from BM to be shipped with my vest.

 

[CasiusOntius]

Quick update...Bobamaker has assured me that my vest is finally complete and once he finished up on my RF stalk and circuit he will be shipping it for me. Yay! Soon, I'll be able to finish up my helmet! I have the lens I need to cut out, but I still need to put some thought into how I want to pad it. Anyone have any favorite ways? Thanks!

 

[Kit Fisto]

dude that is a really awe some costume

 

[Skupilkinson]

Outstanding! Nice progress my friend.

 

[MandoMan]

Looks great so far!

Oh, and updates on the jet pack? With the videos, it's like waiting for the next episode of my favorite show. "Next week, on the Jango Fett Open Seasons build-up, we'll find out how the jet pack will turn out! Or will we? Tune in next time!"

 

[CasiusOntius]

Thanks for the comments, lol, it's like you guys have revived my thread! It's not that I've wanted to quit, it's that I'm waiting on my parts from Bobamaker. I really wanted to finish this by Halloween, but I won't be upset if I don't; I would rather have it look awesomely good than to have it rushed together. Don't worry, costumers...my Star Trek Uniform awaits for this Halloween.

On a more serious note, I hope to be able to make some more progress, and soon. I've got a knee kit I can start working on, if I get time, so maybe I'll do that while I'm waiting. Stay tuned, and find out! lol!

(Unfortunately, no JP progress yet...I still need to sand/prime, then paint it. Unfortunately it will be a mildly boring pack, since it will need to be all grey to match the comic. Maybe I can start working on that soon too )

 

[CasiusOntius]

Funny how things work. MY BOBAMAKER STUFF CAME IN!!! I'll let my pics and the vid speak for themselves. Those of you who've been waiting to 'tune in' (lol) here you go!

Here's the video! http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn272/casiusfet/?action=view&current=P1020274-1.flv

I am SUPER excited about finishing the Helmet. Hopefully I'll have time this weekend, but I'll be in Chicago all day Saturday, so we'll see...

 

[RevolverOcelot]

So you went with a boba vest?

 

[CasiusOntius]

Yes, I personally like the look and feel of the Boba vest more than the Jango vest. I guess I just don't much like the leather is all. In the comic it actually doesn't look like he really even has a vest on, but when he does it looks alot more like it is flexing and wrinkling like cloth than leather. So in my opinion the vest style is up to the person making the costume, if that makes sense. :confused

 

[CasiusOntius]

YAY! Lots of helmet progress...here's some fun pics and vid, for your enjoyment....though I do have a plea for advice. I've got a bondo'ed RF and I don't know where it came from, it came with my helmet...however, I've got a throw-away Rubies I've done some experiments on and the RF, which is already painted to my specs, is the exact same size, but is hollow. Do you guys think it would be bad to cut off the Rubies RF and put it on my helmet?

Anyway...here's the promised pics and vid (sorry I'm talking so fast in the vid, it had to be under 100MB for me to upload it to photbucket and I had alot to say lol)

To cut, or not to cut...that is the question.
