I'd say you're more inspirational in your approach..... not affraid to experiment just to get that little bit more out of your build.  it raises the bar an that's never a bad thing.

Thanks mate, got to dream and have a go  I like trying stuff, getting into a few things at the moment.... keep the mind sane

Thanks guys, hearing that means a lot ....now I have to try harder  🤔

Still working on ideas for thrusters....but here's another part I'm daydreaming about 
And something else I'm thinking about

[Bowfanny]

I might be mistaken but I’m pretty sure those tines on the grapple are backwards. Or I’m wrong and have assembled someone’s rocket grapple tines the wrong way.

G'day Bow, nah you're right. I was mucking around last night looking at the tines. I was looking at how they work,what needs to change for them to do what I want....I hadn't noticed though. A few Aussie whiskeys and chips.....why you don't drink and play with explosives  how my mando s helmet is so weathered

Sounds like a grand time to me Vod.

Yep, feeling like a sloth today, so maybe the same again tonight 😂
It helps with visualising and planning 🤫

Thinking about painting the rocket with same .....rough approach I used for survival knife....paint and leave outside for a while  looks well loved



Here's the start of paint job on rocket

Think I might be redo a few areas now  I don't mind that shade

[Bowfanny]

That knife looks like it’s been through the trenches.

It was left outside for a while  ....I forgot about it. I don't mind the look though

It’s a good look,

Was thinking of adding something like an old bit of cloth on the handle

[Bowfanny]

I hear tea stained cloth looks old!

[Druj Jes]

I hear tea stained cloth looks old!

I can vouch for this. I have used both coffee and tea dyes to age fabrics.

Groovy, thanks vod, I'll give it a go

[The Unknown Mando]

Reclaimed a steel shaft from the scrap bin at work....extra lucky as it was exact size that I needed...just need to work out the length I'll need now

[The Unknown Mando]

A little bit of progress, needs further work and modifications....but here's a rough idea of the plan
:laugh:just discovered video 

[fearless-freak]

nice, and it makes sense for the thrusters to be able to manouver

[The Unknown Mando]

Thanks mate,  something extra to add
And fun to work out 🙃

[The Unknown Mando]

Couldn't really sleep last night so looked around at things to do. Found an old light for the beacon, hooked up to a remote to allow switching on or off, need to work out where I'd put the switch now, and type of switch for when I get thrusters to rotate

[Bowfanny]

That looks awesome!

[The Unknown Mando]

That looks awesome!

Thanks mate, illtry for better lighting next time, it's nothing special just a kit a picked up years ago....I do plan on intergrating the switch into my kit somewhere
No realy sure if Boba had his beacon flashing all the time or just when flying 🤔

[jett drexel]

It's on constantly in empire  that thruster servo is totally next level mate love it.

[The Unknown Mando]

Thanks mate, I'll have to have a good look....think I've got ideas for making it work....just need a bit of time time try
