Well FINALLY I have some digital pics...

 

[Jimmy BufFETT]

Andy ... my G'd that is amazing. I cannot believe how accurately you can do all of that. Absolutely amazing work! It must be an amzing site to see fully assembled. Speaking of which, are you planning on doing that and taking pictures of it assembled??!!!!

 

[GCNgamer128]

Thank you so much Jimmy!

I will be taking pictures during it's assebmly to creat the Tutorial packet that I'm going to include in it's sale I won't send a kit without instructions!! How screwed would we be if our TK sets didn't have that booklet?

 

[psych0ticmisfit]

wow, amazing i cannot wait to get this kit! your the best!

 

[webchief]

My God that looks complicated to put together!

 

[stormtrooperguy]

that looks sweet! seems like a really fun project to put together

I don't know if they would be screwed ... "I thought these suits we designed to make sure you were dead if you got hit. Why else would we wear them???" lol:

bah! real troopers throw that crap away first thing

in this case though, i can see instructions being a good thing.

i'm already envisioning replacing the fiberglass body of my JP with this, and using my fiberglass rocket and thrusters.

do you know how large this pack will be when it's done? (15" vs 16".x?)

long live the laser
lookin SWEET :cheers

I love that movie


But anyhow... what would roughly be the price on a set of armour? I'm yet another of these cheap young people who can't afford to waste much on hobbies.

And for those worrying about jet pack-assembly being too complicated... it's actually rather logical with parts from WoF's beautiful blueprints Even I managed to do it! No lasercut sintra though - dremelled sheet of pvc had to do.

I am looking to say around $150 per jet pack... Prices may vary though, but don't look much higher than that.

The height of the back plate of the jet pack is just under 14". 13.9" to be exact.
But with the central pipe running up the middle it's go a little higher. (un peu)

That laser is saving humanity many hours and thumbs. Unless of course you screw up putting it together. Doing this project on my pack i did things one at a time. If i would have had all that set out on the table honestly i would have been frightened to start. Mine is finished now and i am pretty happy with it. I haven't fully painted it because I am most likely going to mold it.

I commend you

I'm working on the Instruction Booklet now I'll be sure to post pictures! I have to be at school in a few hours though.

 

[psych0ticmisfit]

hmm I would love to get on this but i can't swing 150.00. Im poor due to planning a wedding. How long will you be offering this service for the jet pack???

 

[GCNgamer128]

As long as I have a customer base, I don't mind making parts. I got a PM this morning saying, "Will you stil be offering August 2007."

 

[Jimmy BufFETT]

I have to be at school in a few hours though.

I'm amazed you can do all of this work with school and the work load involved. Wow!:jet pack

i caught the poor bug too :cry

can you do the cod or back plate of the WoF size specific templates though? i could probably afford those (or one of those :rolleyes)

and I'd pay for the assembly/molding of the parts too. (I'm not that poor yet... i hope )
