Just adding some pics of the current state of the jetpack along with some other photos I haven't posted. We're pretty much at the finish line. There was a snafu with my helmet paint up last night but Rick said it shouldn't take more than a week to finish that. Other than that I just have to take my flight suit back to the tailor to have the waist taken up a little since my thigh pockets are too low. Once that's finished, I'll attach some snaps to the cod and kidney plate and attach them to the flight suit. One upgrade that will be arriving later in the year is a Clothears ESB vest. I want to save up to get the flight suit as well, but that can wait.
I did completely rework/upgrade my Kcr7pr harness. The only thing that I kept was the harness base. I scrapped all of the straps and buckles as well as the mounting bar since all were far too inaccurate. I purchased some seat belt webbing, some aluminum flat bar, and some loops (thanks FMF) and went over to Rick's where we got it all together. I am THRILLED with the upgrade. My JP fits super snug now.
All of the following were taken on a cell phone.
Here's the jetpack as it currently sits. The dental file needs to be added as well as the white dot. Other than that, I think we're going to call this finished. I think Rick did an outstanding job on this.

Here is the foam filled resin Pulce that I got from Mike (Stormrider). This is his photo, but one of the blasters is mine. I'm currently painting it.

Here is the rubber EE-3 that I got from Mike as well. I plan on using this at cons and events where I am not permitted to bring the Hand Schaub. The last photo is it next to my Hand Schaub EE-3. The only upgrade I need to do for this is to get the proper size scope. This is awaiting paint.

Here is my re-worked/upgraded Kcr7pr harness. SO much lighter and more comfortable now, plus a much better fit. Adjustments went from difficult to a breeze. (Don't mind the white thread. I was too impatient to wait for us to go get black)

Here are some photos of my flight suit weathering. I'll have to retouch it after the alterations are made to correct the pocket height.

I will continue to update this as we go. If all goes well, I anticipate having a big update later this week. Thanks for looking guys. As always I welcome any criticisms or feedback that will help to make the whole thing better/more accurate.
