What is it exactly you need help with? if its printing these plans you will need adobe software on your computer to print it, or as a PDF, that make sense?

Pretty much. Depends a lot on what material you're using how you cut etc. For instance, my first jet pack was made from cardboard tubes and 1/16" illustration board, so the thickness wasn't much of an issue. Once you start using 3 or 6mm sintra, the thickness needs to be accounted for. For my illustration board jetpack I used the printouts as a template and marked corners and curves using a compass pointer, then connected the dots with pencil lines and cut them out. Glue depends on your material of course.

basically yes... what do you have, or what do you plan on using to build with?

Well I'm planning on using different thicknesses of EVA foam just cause I'm doing this as a Halloween project with my dad. I don't need it to accurate but accurate enough that some one can recognize it as Boba Fett. Saying that my mom got me an inflatable jet pack, and there's no way on earth I'm using that.

Ok well in that case that would be fine, don't forget to post picture of the progress 
I believe I used 4" inner diameter thick wall pvc for the middle tank. If you have the patterns printed out you should have a circle on the top plate that shows you how big it needs to be.
The side tanks I never did find a pvc pipe option that worked well in either white pvc or electrical conduit.
I believe they are roughly the diameter of a soda can, but can't remember exactly.
I wound up using the tubes from two hanging bird feeders I found at a store. I filled the with expanding foam to make them rigid then filled some of the holes with putty (fortunately most of them were behind the panels that make up the outer housing so I didn't have to worry about those). I remember I took a flexible sewing tape measure with me to some stores and looked up and down aisles for any product that had long tubes involved.
Here's a link to my original thread that does have some inner construction pics. Warning though...I have never finished it as I kind of lost the bug for a while. Been back at it here recently though working on painting the helmet finally. I will probably get back to this at some point...hopefully lol!

Starting to put this together, any tips?

Keep it light! and if you are using the original style harness to go with the pack pay close attention to where the hooks go

Also, finding it tricky on where all the pieces go and what piece with what with this template since there are a lot of pieces. Any tutorial I could follow? Or just general help? Maybe even a completed one someone has so I can see what it should look like.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Well I made one using the templates, I made a mistake on the hooks at the time so pay no attention to that, but have a look at the link provided its on my build thread, its not overly detailed in it's construction but gives you some insight

What will you be using to build it with?

These builds are always fun. Here is my old build thread. It may be useful to someone. It has a lot of pictures at least.

I'm using all foam to keep it light and easy to work with so eva and craft foam. This is for the jetpack part. I'm so pumped to make Boba and it's for a con in July along with my costume.

"What will you be using to build it with?"
I'll be using mostly foam for everything, eva and craft foam. Building the jetpack for a Boba costume for a con in July along with my own cosplay.
Thanks for the link, just needed some photos to get an idea of how everything is put together~
