Here is Jetpack with some minor finishing touches. I went back over some of the damage to soften it and added more weathering. I waited until the very last minute to attach the thrusters. I had used the MOW reco using PVC, but I didn't want to cement them in place. In a stroke of luck, I came up a with a hybrid approach. I drilled a hole at the end of each piece and super glued in a dowel screw. I then drilled a hole in the pvc to fit the dowel screw. So I'm using the MOW PVC way to attach them, but a wing nut on the other side of the PVC holds them in place. Maybe overkill, but now I can move the thrusters around if I want and they aren't going anywhere.


I still need to add the dental file and attach the decal. I also need to do the white dot. I tried once and screwed it up and had to paint over it. Maybe I'm just not good at it, but tried a few approaches on sample material and could never get it to look sharp. I tried free-hand, using a stencil and airbrush, etc. In a holding pattern now. More to come!
