nice work man, the piece keeps looking better and better. can't wait to see it finished.

 

[spartanx360]

oh, put a frosted paper before the vents, that will make the lightflow way more cooler and it won't look like it came from one spot

Well, I hope you got it properly sized to the chestplate that you plan on wearing it with. That is why I made a tester file of this jetpack so that someone didn't take the time to build the HD model only to end up with it not fitting.

Are you going to harden it? If so i would reccomend waiting til the end then using straps. And if your not how much does the jetpack weight?

 

[zwave343]

could try using velcro, if its not to heavy.hehe. good ol' velcro.

 

[Macattack64]

You could always make it similar to a backpack strapping.

its like 2-5 pounds. and idk how to put the straps one, @HaloGoddess. what HD jetpack?? i didnt see one

 

[zwave343]

just get the backpack adjustable straps off and hot glue them or something. but dont listen to me until youve done some tests on attaching it. i recomend getiing a backpack, making it weigh 2-5 pounds, and testing with that before you go and do it to your jp. we dont want all your hard time, effort and overall dignity to go spiraling down to earth like me on spire when i forgot my jet pack.

Well if your not going to harden it I would reccomend just cutting some paper and glueing them together so there like backpack straps and then glue them to where you want to put them on the back. (Like where it seems to attatch to armor)

I personally would go with a backpack method, or you could try to make a backpack fanny pack super deluxe combo harness Whatever you do, it looks fantastic!
AS FOR RESIN- not cheap, not easy I'm sorry to say. It's sticky, smelly, kinda pricey, and you REALLY REALLY should wear an organic vapor filter.
Great work! Keep it up!

Oh, and by the way, I LOLd so hard when I saw tab numbers in the 2000's, way to hustle man! You're a more patient being than myself xD

 

[tankball]

im going to now start up on my chest, idk if i should post the pics in here or not.

 

[tankball]

Heres the chest im going to make

This how far i go in 15mins

Got to love Nvidia (P.S. Red VS Blue Starts in 1 hour!!! =

 

[tankball]

its a fast build

I find that jumpo craft sticks work great
