Jango72s progress thread.

[Jango72]

I figured that it was about time that I started one of these threads for my own progress, so here goes...

On Friday, stellardude and Vaderfanforever1922 came over to my place for a prop session. We chatted alot, but some how still got some work done.

At the end of the day, stellardude asked me to suit up in my "in progress" suit so he could snap a few pictures. Here's a couple of the pictures he took.

I know that in this first picture my holsters and girthbelt are too high, I didn't pay all that much attention when I threw on my gear.

Since those pictures were taken, I finished off my gauntlets ( save for re applying the paint ), so here's a pic of them.

Lots still to do so, I'm off to work some more on my jet pack. Additional progress pictures will be added as I go, seeing as my finish deadline is the 26th of April.

Nice look.....
Which jet pack style are you going with?

 

[runJEDIrun]

AWESOME!

 

[Jango72]

LOPERO, I'm going with the classic style ( Kamino ) jet pack. I'm not really partial to the stubby. :facepalm

Thanks for the feedback guys, I still have a lot of work to do before my April 27th troop. I'd better get back to work now... I'll try to remember to post more pictures as I go. :cheers

hey how did you make your helmet is there any plans if so could i get them from you?

 

[Jango72]

If you go into the helmet section, open up your search function and type in "Wizardofflight helmet template". I simply used the Boba template and modified it to be more Jango accurate.

Okay... a few more things to post up on my progress.

1. jet pack is ready for paint.

2. chest armor is ready for rub-n-buff. ( now primered, but not in picture )

3. cod piece is ready for rub-n-buff. ( also primered now, but not in picture )

I'm doing my best to finish off the rest of the armor, so I'd best get going.

[runJEDIrun]

Yup, it sure is.

It's all primered up grey now, but I'll have to wait until the morning to finish painting it up as I've lost my daylight. :facepalm

I've got my armor all rub-n-buffed now though.

 

[Jango72]

While I'm taking a short break from my build, I thought that I'd throw up this little teaser.

More to come...

hi

any one know where to find rub and buff in canada?

 

[Jango72]

Sent ya a PM.

 

[MandoWarrior87]

Armour's looking good Jango72!

 

[Jango72]

I've still got a ton of work to do to finalize and tweek/repair my costume, but it didn't stop me from trooping yesterday with my local squad, the Canadian Garrison Capitol City Squad.

We were out trooping a 3km walk for Multiple Sclerosis, and it was an awesome day!! I've included a group shot below.

 

[JDFett]

looking good man!

 

[Jango72]

Well, yesterday was my second troop with the Capital City Squad. We were at three different locations around Ottawa for "Free Comic Book Day".

I'm happy to report that I got my jet pack all weathered and clear coated in time.

Here's a few of the many pictures that were taken yesterday. I can safely state that I've got quite a bit of tweeking and adjusting to do, and I feel that my shin armor will need to be re-made. Any ways, on to the pictures...

The two younglings in this next pic are mine.

The only thing that was missing was my ammo belt and pouches as they got stuck at customs. I should get them some time this week, so I'll have them in plenty of time for my next troop.

 

[runJEDIrun]

good lord that jet pack turned out awesome! :cheers congrats!

 

[Jango72]

Thought that I'd take a quick second or two to post up a list of my parts and makers, seeing as that seems to be the growing trend.

Jumpsuit - bought from JROCK, source unknown
Vest - custom made by co-worker
Boots - Journeys GBX, picked up for me by satxer ( thanks again man )
Girthbelt - JDFett, made in collaboration with Cruzer
Holster rig - Cruzer
Ammo belt - SEEKER
Blasters - resin kit bought second hand from a TDH member ( required major tear-down and work to get to current state )
All armor parts - Jango72
Jet pack - Jango72
Gauntlets - Jango72 ( switches, toggles, lights, flame thrower nozzles and left wrist rocket from Cruzer )
Knee dart launchers - Asok
Gloves - Walmart specials ( made by HotPaws )
Helmet - Jango72 ( all armor, jet pack, gauntlets and helmet were made using WoF Boba templates. I altered/adjusted them during construction to be more Jango accurate. )

I've still got a few repairs and tweeks to complete after my last troop, so I'll do my best to post up new pictures once they're completed.
