General ROTJ Boba Fett WIP 501st Approved

The MOW flak vest fits pretty good. I am 5'9" 215 lbs. & usually large to x/large depending on fit. I have broad chest & shoulders. The way that it is split on the sides works well cause you can adjust the girth around your mid section. I like how it fits.

Doesn't look like much but block sanded the jetpack & worked on the rocket. I need to do some spot putty work & the main body of the jetpack is ready for primer. Need to do some detail work on the rocket.

First im sorry about the poor quality of my pictures. I'm using the WOF template for my jetpack and I have a question about your approval process
in the pictures you have (see first picture below) the joint between the top "deck" of the pack (where the beacon light and tanks mount) is a nice
sharp corner. I've seen pictures where this seam is smooth and rounded. did you receive any notes on this sharp seam or did that part pass without
much push back from your approving officer? (sorry I'm making mine for 501 entry and I know they are sometimes pretty picky)

I didn't have any issues getting my Boba approved with the 501st & Mandalorian Mercs. There wasn't anything that my GML had an issue with. For me my Boba was a 3 year long build with scratch building everything. In that time I opted not to change things even though I learned things that would have an affect on what I had made. I did make some changes but not all pieces. For basic approval I don't think you would have an issue but I am not a GML but if you have concerns in regards to this you could get in contact with your GML & ask. Where you are at right now you could easily add the radius/bevel to that area.

This was my first time making a jetpack & I was using a couple of pep files that were done by a couple of guys. I have since come up with my own design which I have proved out (Jodo Kast Build: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f34/jodo-kast-wip-51419-post651473/#post651473 ) & feel much better about the look of it.
