For the helmet I'm going to he heavily modifying a Jango Fett 2 piece helmet. I have the bordon connector and the Rangefinder stalk in metal ordered.

Post by: Pyro on Feb 12, 2020, 06:13 PM: My blaster pistol arrived from the UK today and it needs a lot of work to it but I think it will work perfectly for this kit
I'm hoping on working on it this weekend when I have the time

I ordered my Jetpack harness today from MOW. Also my correctly sized girth belt and 3D printed pieces should be here on Tuesday which I'm super excited about! This is slowly coming together nicely!

Title: Re: Jodo Kast WIP
Post by: Pyro on Mar 01, 2020, 06:30 PM: Good news my Jetpack should arrive tomorrow, bad news it’ll probably arrive while I’m at work which means I’ll have to pick it up on Tuesday lol
Title: Re: Jodo Kast WIP
Post by: Pyro on Mar 04, 2020, 09:30 PM: I received my MOW Jetpack in the mail Monday!
I cant wait for this weekend when I can start working on it!
I'm gong to have to sand down my 3D printed rocket to get it to fit and sand down the raised details on the top of the pack as its not accurate to the reference pics, but other than that I think I'm good
Oh and its going to need a few baths per instructions lol ;D :D :P :laugh:
