JSmails Holiday Special Boba Build

[JSmails]

I’m back at it with a small update on the jetpack. I have to scratch build everything so it’s taking a while. I can’t wait to get to resin and bondo.

I finally have finished the stack and the housing for the rocket. Rocket is easily removable and is only friction fit in place.

Looks really good, will look even better after bondo and sanding.

I can’t believe how long this build is taking. So much life crap between when I started and now. Ridiculous.

Anyway, I finally got the resin on the jet pack. I still haven’t found pipes the correct size, so I’m still looking.

Not shown: I bought the dark grey “superhero trunks” that go on the outside of the flight suit. I bought them off a vendor on Etsy and they are great.

I have an area I can do bondo, I just don’t have an area where I can SAND the bondo. That’s a problem because you want to start sanding bondo before it hardens all the way to make sanding much easier.

I hope to figure this out soon. And the pipes that hold the thrusters.

Started the bondo yesterday. Lots more to do and sanding as I have time.
