my jet pack project

What make of Jet Pack is that?

sadly i dont kno i just got it like it is what does it look like?

Where did you get it? $100 may not be that bad for what you have there. I just might suggest some silver weathering.

ya i was thinking of re-paiying it

Not bad for 100 beans....looks like an old vaccd' Golden Armor pack. Just some repairs and a repaint will have it looking fine

looking good curtis!!! i would buy that for 100 beans.. good buy ... is there any more lol.

lol i dont think there are anymore but ya im going to fix it up but i was woundering of theres anyone who would paint it for me??

looking good mate

btw everytime i see yours posts it really freaks me out, my last name is Curtis and being in the forces i get called by my last name all the time. So everytime i see a post by you, for a split second i thinks its mine

lol nice

but really is there anyone who is close thats is up for painting this im not to good a painting ??

i have all the paint and every thing

update i have puttyed it up and in a few hours i will sand it down and prime it up

thank you

jet pack looks good Curtis, great job on the paint bro! mine should be arriving any day now from Canada. can't wait!!!!

You really turned that thing around!

I made a very comfortable harness from the straps of an old backpack that I had last year. It took about 15 minutes and it was easy. Play around with things, and you won't have to pay a whole lot for one.

nice ya im going to use my old cammel pack it has buckles all over it soo it should be good and could put water in it too haha one day ill go for a more accurate one

and thanks

You got a Camelback? So do I! It's a real lifesaver ... especially out here when it breaks 110°F! I thought about rigging it to my jet pack, but 2 things:

1) If you use the entire backpack as a harness, it will push out on the back armor, and make you look like a hunchback.
2) Water weighs 1kg per Liter (which is 8.32 lbs per gallon.) Be advised of how much weight will be on your back when you fill up the water container.

lol true haha a real cammel well i dono maybe ill take it apart i dono yet

Curtis,

Nice work bro! Here's my take on the JP Harness, didn't want to ruin my camelbak so i went with a cheap alternative and no bladder. Hope this helps you out.




And this is what it looks like on my back now...


Good luck and stay safe!

Tim.

nice were did you get that one from ??? looks good

Halo_1, that is a BRILLIANT idea! And very inexpensive too.:jet pack

That is a GREAT idea....

Kata

wow ya i think im going to do that lol instead of cutin up my good one

Thanks guys, took me awhile to work out a system I like with regards to the setup but it was worth it.

Enjoy and I hope it helps everyone out.

Stay safe,

Tim.

okay well im almost done with it soo what do you al think of it now

Wow buddy! Thats impressive!

thanks im still traying to think up a harness cuz it doesnt have the cut away in the back its all solid what are some ways to make one for this has anyone done it?? any help or suggestions will be nice thanks
