Here's abit of the left side, the start of some physical damage





The hole needs work, massaging to edges, I'll put  some resin into seal it then under coat etc

I believe mine is at regular scale as the files I am printing are boba scale I believe.

I thought it may have been slimmer or smaller when you said lightweight.....would that be printed parts compared to resin or fibreglass?

The main pack with the resin components shipped from California to oregon(standard post one state away) only cost the sender $16 I'd say I've had helmets ship more expensively than that. It's fiberglass and resin base but it's literally light. I can lift it with my pinky finger without strain.

Thanks mate, hopefully it'll work out ok, or the skill to make it work

I attacked it a bit more this arvo





At moment I've only attacked the left side so far, slapped on some fibreglass resin, I'll see what she's like tomorrow, clean up, and paint silver again, then re-access

Tricky part would be making it all blend together,  I realise it doesn't all need to match across the whole kit. As pieces may have been added, cleaned, repaired......might need to make, find a mannequin to hang it all on

After work if I get time I'll tidy up around the edges of the hatch area, might tidy up the pack, give it another coat or two, see how things look. Line up stabiliser with beacon and drill, attach

True, I was surprised how well green and orange went together on my helmet, I thought blue like boba and be a little different from rest of armour


🤔
Still need to finish the bucket.....as you can see

Purple might be a nice touch as an alternative to blue.  I'm not partial to the color or anything!

Purple is a great colour, goes good with orange as well, fits with protectors adding in purple with their kits.....hhmmmm now what to paint what colour, purple and green.....joker style
I think the majority will be orange, might use purple on area where fetts rotj is red, the yellow part on fetts I might go green.....or fetts yellow. May add some mandoa script in purple and purple on thruster caps......no idea honestly
Have to see how it all looks.....better break out the printer and colouring pencils

The cape I'm using is from dha bral and is orange and brown, I've also been given some canvas that's greenish khaki in colour. May try two types of capes. Both capes would suit green and orange jetpack
