Carboard Jet Pack

Scorlord

New Hunter
Hi guys, I'm Scorlord, Scor for short, long story why I use the name. Anyways I got into the "armor" making after my dad got me a Ruby's Boba Helmet. Which I promptly modded and thinking about making a new one. So then I ordered off ebay chest and shoulder armor, and started a slightly scratch build on a cardboard jet pack. I've used patterns and such, but most of that goes out the window when I get to the cardboard cutting.

When I worked at a butcher shop I nabbed all the empty cardboard boxes, coragated, and started on the jetpack. Also got some plastic tubing from a plotter at school, and tons of hot glue, and white glue.

At the moment I've been cleaning the edges with another ton of spacle, and sandpaper. Since this is my first try its being respaded by spacle, yeah for shotty work. I'm hoping to finish up the spacle work and start work on the greeble work.

That looks great, my jp is cardboard as well. However you need to be careful with the hotglue. I relied on it very heavily with my jp and it half falls apart after every outing. I would recommend reinforcing the jp with whatever you can find, such as some sort of epoxy, etc. Keep up the great work!
 
Does anyone recomend a good suppler for Boba Fett parts? I wanting to get a premade rocket for my cardboard pack, since I'm really not pleased with how the cups are turing out. Until then I'm currently working on my gaunts, using cardboard and foam board, pics will be up.
 
looks great! I made my JP out of cardboard/PVC piping, quite a task :p I don't have my rocket done yet so if you find a good supplier for them let me know!
Great job!
 
The rocket is gonna be shortened, cause my two white cylinders, just foamboard and cardstock, are too big. I still have some detail work to put on her, mainly the base where I have it screw on and off. I want to try and hide the edge better. As for strengthening the entire pack I'm gonna wait till I'm happy with everything. And this nerfer has caused me so much trouble I'd never sell it.
 
Hey man I could make you a rocket if you want. Send me your email and i'll send you some pics if you want. You have a good solid JP body all it seems to need is a little more
smoothing here and there so you're doing a great job and keep up the good work.
