My first jetpack

Greetings from Australia everyone!

So here are some pics of my jet pack, so far it has taken me a few weeks on and off!

Foam board

Some cardboard and plastibond, oh so much plastibond to come!!

Used a exit sign and a acrylic paint tin + PVC pipe and fittings

Starting to get there

More sanding !!!

Base coat, still not finished but I am happy so far


Thanks to everyone on here for all the info and help!

Looking good, the more jetpacks I see being built ,the more it makes be want to have a go myself

It looks pretty good! I love the scratch build jetpack threads (well everything scratch built) and my advise is to always back up your build with images from the Gallery (I see only the WOF templates on the wall) to be sure that your build is in the right track. Here is the ROTJ jetpack as reference:



It seems that the side tanks on your build are a bit low and the tanks housing is wider (it covers the yellow area) while the rocket tip should have straight lines (I know that the shape you did is how WOF did in the templates):



Keep up the great work!

Hey Raf Fett,

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I know the fuel tanks are a bit low, once I had set everything up I just didnt have the will power to change it..

Next time I do this I will have a much better idea on how to approach it, I must say this was more fun than the helmet !!!! Will post another pic soon!

Bit more done last night phew
