My scratch built ESB jet pack...cardboard

Hi, i'm doing a Boba Fett ESB costume for my friend, i started with the jet pack first i used the wof's prints, this jectpack is made of cardboard, the little parts made of syteren 1mm, plastic, alumminum and bondo and the jectpack weight less than 3 pounds, plus i did other thing for the rest of the costume...i hope you like it.

The part of the left gauntlet is made of s/s tubing and lexan from my company that i work

I like it! Nice scratchbuild bro! Especially the weight!

Thanks for sharing!

Stay safe,

Tim.

wow very nice turning out way better than mine did.

Forcebewitya.

Excellent work, you should be very proud!

What all did you use in your flame thrower? I'm making one from scratch using bits and pieces and it looks nothing near as good as yours!

Wow! Excellent Scratchbuild!

THANK you for you comments, for the flame i used fiitting conectors, diferent size of s/s tubing, that going inside the others, and vynil paper to cover the tubing the red and black color, it is a little heavy if you want to compare to the resin's one, or alumminun. But it looks great my friend can not wait to see the complete costume, He has to wait even the costume made of scratch, it takes too much time, Right now i'm updatting my jango fett costume, my new darth maul horns, working with our boba fett costume and i'm doing a Halo costume too made of cardboard and plastic........oh wao, i need time.

I almost finish the ESB gauntlets for my friend using WOF prints and pvc , cardboard, wood...anything i can find you know it is a scratch built .

Color me impressed. That is some excellent work! I love scratchbuilds. :thumbup

You are the Fred Sanford of Fett prop building...or Fett Sanford...bwomb bwomb baa bwwwwwwomb

very impressive. great job!!

Wow!.. i cant believe thats scratch build.

Amazing gauntlets! Nice work on those!

Thanks guy, scratch built is a good way to save money but you need a lot time to do things like this, sometimes we don't have the time so we have to buy it, i used both way depends of the situation.

some of the best scratch build work i've seen. great progress!

Here some more photos checking the harness, it was so easy cause the jet pack weight less than 4 0r 3 pounds, i have to check the exact weight, here my friend, he is almost the same height and weight of the original BOBA FETT, the jumpsuit it coming next week, hopely.
Please any advice please do so.

Nice! Who knew Boba was a Newscaster too! (behind the desk he's wearing shorts)

he's got "jet pack lean." heh. slightly tilting forward to compensate for the weight on the back. if you're going to be wearing that for an extended period you should get a back brace even though it doesn't weigh very much.

awesome scratch build.....

Thanks for the comments, we almost done with Boba costume, the sewer is doing the jumpsuit, after that one she is going to do my jango jumpsuit.
The jet pack weight is 2.75 lbs.

Bloody awsome! top job
