ROTJ FETT jetpack completed!!!

[Darthmiller]

UPDATED....see last post for new pics

OK..thanks for the input on the red color on the ROCKET. I decided to change it up from rock island maroon to wisconsin central maroon. i also took pics outside in natural light

let me know what you guys think...did I get it right or do I need to go back and make some final adjustments


I finally completed painting my ROTJ BOBA FETT jetpack.. Its been about two months and I am excited to share some pics. I want to thank SPIDEYFETT for all of his help..

Wow .. That looks fantastic. Nice job.

Is it wood/vac-formed/metal?

dang that looks amazing, the body and jet pieces look spot on movie accurate. :thumbsup

the only thing i would change, if it were me, and if you were asking, and i know your not but...

the rocket part is a bit too red, needs more silver and/or darkening the red up a bit (could be the pics) would be the ONLY thig i would change.

but it looks more like what it probably would have if it were in better condition like pre jedi...

if you catch what im saying, cause yeah its red, but in the movie, the paint looks a bit more worn off, (wonder how long he dinged and banged that thing along while on his back?)

either way awesome, and yeah did you fail to mention the AMAZING frickin full out suit behind it? :eek

im jealous.

Ditto on the red comment for the rocket but otherwise spot on.

Well done.

 

[Probe Droid]

Bravo.

 

[scattrap]

Red rocket... LOL Couldnt resist

 

[Darth Fett]

awesome.. nice job

 

[Darthmiller]

the red is really not as red as it looks in these pics...the Flash is making it look brighter than it really is....with that being said I still may need to lighten it up a bit.

 

[Darthmiller]

updated pic with new red rocket

 

[WebChief]

Much better. That looks great.

 

[OldKen]

OH YEAH...

thats it. :love

good job, and way to take constructional critizism, and make something go from close to perfect... to well... what appears to be... PERFECT. :thumbsup :thumbsup

 

[Trooper TK409]

Yeah, very, very nice.
When photographing props/costumes, raw flashes = bad. Just shooting them in natural light looks so much better. Great work.

 

[Darthmiller]

thanks for your feedback. you were 100% right and I am very happy with the changes..
