General Mid-Budget ESB built

I like your idea with the black greeblies inside the thrusters. It just looks more real...
Is there a photo how those sides of the thrusters looked in the movie?

Thanks!

There are several pics of the PrePro and ESB version. The thrusters look empty.

The photo on the left looks like there is something inside...

I thought the same, but it seems to be a reflection.

Pics of me in the full suit will follow. At the moment I´m in progress of loosing pounds to fit it again. I was ill for some months and got bigger, bigger and bigger.
AND I´ll have to finish the jetpack harness. I am hand-stitching all the belts, if this is finished, the test of carrying the jetpack with the harness will be interesting.

I did a little video. so I´ll let it speak for itself! Finished jetpack.

I love the used look!!! You realy did a great job!! But the beacon and stabilizer look to new...

 

[Notlewis]

Thanks a lot! The beacon and stabilizer will get a natural weathering.

Very beautiful job you did there. One of the better jetpacks I have seen. Keep up the good detailed work!

 

[Notlewis]

Nothing spectacular going on... I am hand-stitching/sewing the car seat belts on the harness. Meanwhile I´m re-working the top of the harness, because it was too bulky and pushing up the back armour. Pics will follow.

"Here I am... Back again!"

Couldn´t find the time to work on the harness. But now I have sewn all the belt ends, I still have to do some minor changes on the harness itself. I did some shaping on the top part. Changed the hardware. Pics will follow.

This is the actual stand.


Hope to finish it this week, so I can put on the jetpack with the harness for the first time.

 

[TK50175]

Thats the point when it gets interesting... Cant wait to see it!

 

[Notlewis]

Finished the harness today. I hand-sew the black seat belts and used some tubular rivets to make them stronger. Also made some aluminium bars to secure the hardfoam plate on the inside.



One big step closer to the finish... I could wear my jetpack for the first time with my self constructed harness.

Looks good! I really like it!Did you try it with the flak vest?
