WIP: Scratchbuilt Jetpack!

Awesome thread, inspiring would be a better word really. You've done an excellent job on your JP. I've been wanting to play with WOF templates for a while and its great to see someone with talent do them justice.:cheers
 
One thruster done. I messed up a piece on the other one pretty bad and had to redo it. Not a total loss just a setback luckily.

Whipped up some hooks and got them screwed onto the back. Messed up the other thruster AGAIN and had to redo it but I think I got it this time.

Matt,

What did you use for the silver "ridged" piece directly below the finned portion of the rocket?

That was a cap from a plastic bottle. Some kind of cleaner in a gallon I think. I looked at a lot of different caps until I found one with really well defined knurls.
 
Well I think this is basically finished. Here it is on the mannequin I'm building.

Here I'm just holding up the helmet because I thought it would look cool. The mannequin doesn't have any arms yet so things might look kind of goofy. :D
