BFUK Jetpack Run starting phase one.

OK guys

Firstly, thanks for the support and interest so far. Work has been slower than I wanted, but it needs to be right and some reworking has resulted in a better finished pack and the extensive work on the thruster was not something I thought would cost me so much time, but has been well worth the effort.

Although some things have changed I have held the price at £180. This project is not about making money and the costing is tight, but due to us working together as a co-operative I am going to be ordering up materials in bulk which helps make it work.

So, as of today I have a fully finished mold that I have produced the first finished pack body. Production is now underway on main bodies. The thruster, I am promised will be with me and complete before the end of the week - even if have to spend all Friday night in the shop till I get it. The missile needs some slight filling and sanding. I will be making the molds for these at the weekend, with a view to shipping the first pack Monday as it is required urgently. I have a stock of greeblies on hand and a number of basic harnesses available.

Optional Upgrades
Basic Harness £28
Bulb & wiring to greeblie switch for beacon pre-instaled £10

Shipping in the UK £20
Shipping Worldwide £35

I do not yet have confirmed availability or prices for the following optional upgrades:
Metal Harness Rig - waiting on prototype - confirmed availability
Knurled stainless steel missile section - confirmed availability
Ali Thruster End caps/Greeblies - confirmed availability
U.S. Divers buckle cold casting
Ali beacon
Ali Stabilizer
Jet Pack mounting hooks

All optional upgrades can be retro-fitted if you want to upgrade at a later time and some may have exsiting parts to use.

So with everything in place and as it should be I am ready to place an order for materials. I have updated the interest list and have enough greeblie parts to fulfill all those on the list at this time. As I have no order in which to run the list I think it would be best to throw it open to all on the list and ask for the first 5 to make paymnet. This will then be phase one and when complete we will all have a better understanding of the time scale for the next phase.

My paypal is bobby@bobbyfettuk.co.uk

Photos will follow asap of the finished body and thruster by weekend.

Thanks all......and here we go (y)

What is this? I have no experience with jet packs, so I have no idea, haha. But I love cool stuff, so I guess this is something I want? :D

Hi Lisa, this is an upgrade to allow the bacon to light up. It is used with an ali beacon. As seen in ESB, but I and many other ROTJ boys have it also, it adds more magic when trooping :D. I am able to instal the wires to the working greeblie switch located on the bottom of the pack. It comes with the bulb and battery conection all ready to push inside an ali beacon as and when an ali beacon is fitted to the pack.

Hope that helps.

Bobby.

Also, thanks for payments so far - list updated. I hope to get some more photos on tonight.

Yummy! I want some light-up bacon! Is that like from a radioactive pig? ;)

:lol:lol::lol:lol: I am using one of those little 'web book' style laptops and the keys are not good, in fact the whole thing is not good! Any one currently thinking of getting one I would advise them against it.

OK guys, I know it apperas things have been moving slowly but I have ironed out all the issues encountered this far and all is going to plan. I have all the materials in my work shop and a huge box of greeblies too!

I have now got the solid ali thruster master and intend on making the molds and casting the new missile, thrusters and the last greeblie over the weekend and shipping the first 2 packs very soon after!

I will try harder to get some photos up, but hope to get a photo of the first complete kit posted to fire you up very soon.

Thanks again guys.

Bobby.
