Well it looks great!   8)  Are you going to bondo the whole exterior, or just the seams?

Thanks , it's Coming along ..   ;D

I still have a Second layer of Bass Wood to do .... This will Close off
any gaps that you see in the Skeleton layer. I will miter the Corners and Bevel the Edges
back . This Should give a more Defined edge with a thicker base to add Damage later .

I will most likely Brush it in Resin a few Times then Bondo / Spot fill as needed ...

I'm Still Debating the Wiring & lights ..... Maybe at a Future Date ...  :rolleyes:

All I can say is 'wow.' And I agree with everyone above; you are the Mando MacGuyver. If I wasn't committed to making a Sirus thruster plate, I'd probably go for this.

I don't think a thruster plate and a jet pack would be compatible on the same kit. ;)

A little update :

Started prepping the inside for Resin.

Removed the Tubes for more work room.
 I sprayed some Adhesive on the inside, then
laid in some F/G wall patch. This Stuff comes with
a little tack to it out of the Box but I like a little insurance .

Tomorrow I'll give it a Good coat of Resin inside and out.






I also found a Replacement Beacon ... I like it anyway.

It's a PC mic tip & a mini bingo flashlight ... The best part it Works ..   ;)
Sorry for the Bad pics ... it looks better in person ..

The Old Beacon (A Doorstop)


The New Beacon  ;D



More to Come ..

You are a machine ner vod! 

My only concern is the flat back.  Is that going to sit well on the back plate?  Unless I'm mistaken, the other jetpack kits have a slightly contoured back.

 Got it Covered ... No worries ...  8)
The Back of the Jet pack that you see here isn't the entire Back.
Those are just Covers ...

I've taken a piece of 5" PVC and made a Attachment panel as well .
I made a pattern then Traced it on the Tube. After that I cut the Tube
and Heated it then flattened it out ... pretty much .. It's got quite a bit more
shaping to be Done to it but it will work fine eventually ..  ;)
I will then Combine the two pieces and give the Back plate it's Curve.






I feel a little tardy to the jetpack party but I've got my popcorn now!  :D I need motivation to keep working on mine...

Welcome To the party ...  ;D


ConDar is very good at this.

It's a Hobby & I'm a Hobbyist ..  :rolleyes: ;)
