oRIGINALLY POSTED BY TK409:

This was originally Journeyman Protector's ESB jet pack - but I believe it began life as one of chaucer44 's kits. It came to me ESB green and I repainted it for ROTJ.

For the yellow-orange, I used yellow with a mist of rust primer. Instead of pure white, I used off-white. The blue is royal blue misted with gloss black. Red is Rustoleum (American Accents) Claret Wine (same color used on gauntlets) I primered black under the red for a darker burgundy. Nozzels are off-white, misted black..

I weathered everything with several different colors of craft paint (olive, black, mustard, light-gray, rust) and Testors silver, model paint.

It needs some construction finishing on the back, but it's wearable right now. This is the final piece of my outfit... now, I'm just waiting for that harness diagram. I'm tempted to just get a cheap backpack and rip off the straps. Anyway, here are the pics - whaddya think?:

Jango Bear's RA pack:

2 things I love about this most, 1 the markings are actually painted on over some decal. and 2 all the extras screw in so I can take it apart easly enough for travel.

Here it is, finally arrived today and I most say that I am very impressed with the paint job that my friend Austin did. Buddy, you did a hell of a job on the pack, thanks a lot.

If you need something painted just send him a PM, he's a great guy to deal with.


Here are the pictures, great attention to detail was taken(looks 1000 times better in person). I am so happy.

Its either sintra or styrene.

And it is alot cheaper to build your own, you can build a jet pack for about $100 dollars, the kits cost $300 unpainted

But it takes alot of time to contruct one, if you really push it you can have one in 3-4 months.

Snoop around the jet pack forum for templetes and find out what you need and how to get started.

I'm about half way threw with my scrap built, basicaly its just pvc pipes/sintra/balsa wood/2 hard solid plastic dog balls/air freshener cones, thats about it and alot of layered paint. also I did cheat and get the whole rocket assembly and lower vent regulator at the bottom of the pack, aint no way Im atempting those parts.

There alot lighter to, kits weigh about 15-25 pounds while scrap built can go anywhere from 5-10 pounds. I just sold my fiberglass and resin jet pack it was way to heavy at 22 pounds.

Cheaper? How much is your time worth?
I only have $30- $40 in this pack but also 30-40 hours.
It's made from sintra, PVC pipe, wood balls with air freshener cones, foam and bondo.

Here's mine, it was built in a week and looks like it . Just how much too big is it?
It's had a lot more detailing done to it since this shot was taken including decals and the nozzles.
