If this works we might be upping our game as far as props that are interactive.
Maybe an electronic guru could design a circuit so it starts out dull then brightens, or pulses
Give it a go, set a new standard vod

I love that this has gone from "Bowfanny does a jetpack" to "Bowfanny makes a Han in carbonite FULL SIZE"  If you are able to pull that off I will be seriously impressed!  And jealous  :P

yup, I am currently attempting to convert a hasbro clone trooper helmet into a more realistic and screen accurate helmet.  Then after that I want to make an Xwing pilot helmet  ;D  So I am definitely staying busy

yup, sadly it probably won't be a 501st approvable helmet since I am using EVA foam and a baseball helmet.  I really like the jetpack build so far!  I want to remake mine to look somewhat like the Proto-Fett pack.

Feast yar eyes on some well needed updates! I had to reprint some stuff as the scale of my pack compared to the scale of the printed parts that were made for a full scale pack didn't fit. So they're being sent to a new home while I get down to business with the new parts and after 7 hours of printing I had 3 minutes of gluing and now I am again waiting for printing to finish on the next piece.

Thanks Vod,
The blue caps were supposed to take 8-1/2 hours to print but they came off in 5-1/2 hours instead for some reason they printed quicker. I'm printing a stabilizer and the beacon for redness too at the same time I'm working on other stuff because those files are tiny and print pretty quick.

Looking very nice so far!

Will you be adding lights and sounds to this eventually?

No lighting but I've got a Bluetooth wireless speaker system ready to be installed once I get the pack reinforced. We're talking rechargeable battery pack with two 6" speakers all powered by arduino and created by one of my awesome Ruus'Alors.
