[HGBode]

That is Petty impressive

Awesome thread, inspiring would be a better word really. You've done an excellent job on your JP. I've been wanting to play with WOF templates for a while and its great to see someone with talent do them justice.:cheers

 

[Egon]

[Armydad]

What sort of glue did you use to glue it all together? Pvc cement?

Super glue for a lot of the small detail stuff, GOOP for most of the big stuff, and construction adhesive (liquid nails) for the thrusters.

 

[Darth Voorhees]

Im still in awe of this build. I MUST do one of these!

 

[Matty Matt]

One thruster done. I messed up a piece on the other one pretty bad and had to redo it. Not a total loss just a setback luckily.

 

[TheZeroEffect]

okay that look cool

 

[Matty Matt]

Whipped up some hooks and got them screwed onto the back. Messed up the other thruster AGAIN and had to redo it but I think I got it this time.

 

[clonecollector]

Excellent job on the hooks!

Matt,

What did you use for the silver "ridged" piece directly below the finned portion of the rocket?

That was a cap from a plastic bottle. Some kind of cleaner in a gallon I think. I looked at a lot of different caps until I found one with really well defined knurls.

AWESOME build, Matt. I had so much fun building mine. Now have to do the painting... :/

 

[redkraytdragon]

EXCELLENT build Matt!!

 

[Matty Matt]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I remember your build!! That thing was awesome!

 

[Matty Matt]

Well I think this is basically finished. Here it is on the mannequin I'm building.

Here I'm just holding up the helmet because I thought it would look cool. The mannequin doesn't have any arms yet so things might look kind of goofy.

Every time i look at this i want to make my own Jetpack. This is so inspiring man. I love it, looks great on the mannequin too!
