My Foamboard Jetpack Progress
I've spent the last couple weeks with an hour or two here and there (in between work and other real life issues) working on this jet pack (waiting on warmer weather to get outside and do more spraypainting and fiberglassing on the rest of my parts). So, I thought i'd post pics here. Keep in mind I am NOT going for screen accurate here (as nice as that would be) .. just something as close as i can with limited resources and skills that would make an amazing halloween costume, maybe even for local christmas parades.
The entire thing is made (so far) out of Foamboard (DIsplay board from the craft store) and PVC/ABS pipe, along with Goop, Solvent Free Contact cement (goop apparently eats the foam .. oops) and some LocTite Powergrip adhesive, then Bondo Glazing Putty.
I used WoF's templates (slightly modified) for everything as well btw. Amazing source!
Anyway, I'm open for critisism and suggestions.
