So, I thought today would be a good day to start my jetpack.
First things first, get organised:
I marked the centre of the thruster hole in preparation for the hole-saw:
I made sure the hole was slightly smaller than I needed. Then I filed it a little larger with a rounded file:
Making the thruster a nice, tight fit:
I also marked a few more centre spots that I intend to use later on to help attach the bits:
I glued and secured the fins to the rocket using araldite:
Here's a stack-up of the bits:
Then, I painted the parts that will be added later:
And a base silver coat for the Jetpack itself (with a cookie):
I used latex to cover the bits that are meant to look like paint scratches, the same way I did on the helmet.
Here is part of the rocket, almost finished:
I have done some more but this MOW jetpack is proving difficult to paint. I have washed and sanded the JP but paint just seems to keep behaving badly on it. I'll struggle through.
Of course, that's the good thing about Boba, his stuff is meant to be a bit dodgy. Lucky that.
