I have been reading the forums and trying several techniques with fiberoptic strands and thought I'd just add to this thread to pass along something that ended up working well for me.This started when I read somewhere about using a heatgun to ball up the end of a fiberoptic strand a bit, which...

Where are you located? You might be able to find someone in your area that will let you use a vacuum forming table. I have one but unless you're in Seattle ...

I reedited that video a little bit ... Fairytale Magic - YouTube I did a few others but they are mostly in-jokes for magicians. Underground Magic - YouTube This one is a bit different than those two but ... well, nothing ventured nothing gained!

I have a Rocketeer outfit: http://evan.org/jetpack/ I have never made a fan film, so I will freely admit I don't know what I'm doing, but I am going to make a 3 to 5 minute Rocketeer fan film anyway. I am finishing up the script, and plan to shoot it in a month or two. It's zero budget, and I...

Re: Acme ROCKETEER Rocketpack kit build My link actually came with the kit? Sweet! I feel fairly flattered about that! And nice work so far! Keep the pictures coming!

Thank you for the link, I will check it out. And I am sure I will be posting pics and the costume starts coming together.

Hey, all. This is Evan's wife, posting under his name until I am able to get an account of my own again. I am in the the process of making the Yellow Ranger costume from the Power Rangers RPM series. While I have the software ( fabric costume, etc) mostly worked out, I have to admit I am...

Those are pockets. They were in the original coat. I think their simplified coat doesn't have them, though.

I just saw that they released the coats. http://www.abbyshot.com/products/l-rocketeer.php

I got more pictures. Yay. Adam came out with his motorcycle so we tried to look like we were cool bikers and not nerds in the slightest. Unfortunately my only jeans were either torn to hell and covered in paint and JB weld, or brand new. So I just look like a nerd trying to look like a...

These are the accurate ones. As far as I can tell they are spot-on. They ARE making a "cause it looks cool" one, though, that I think will also come out this week or next. It's basically a very simplified version - none of the buckles and I think the front patch snaps in place instead of...

Thanks. :-) It's a warm, lined jacket, but I found movement to be very free. I could raise my arms and twist without any problems. It was pretty flexible. And GORGEOUS. Oh man am I in love with the black one especially...I just wasn't expecting to like it that much. So I'm peeved that I...

Oh, THAT photoshoot is coming. http://www.evan.org/jetpack/ We're thinking of driving down to an Air Force museum that's a few hours away and doing it in front of some of the old planes they have there...

I forgot to mention...behind the flap in these shots you can see an eyelet. That was on the patterns Abbyshot got so they included it. I suggested the eyelet not be in the jacket, so all future ones will have it left out. They said they could even see it in some shots in the movie, so I'm...

Abbyshot has been working on a Rocketeer jacket, and I just got two of them in the mail today. We're taking pictures of it for their site, but I was really impressed with it and had to share. They are doing the jacket in black as well, and it's GORGEOUS. Though the pictures so far don't do...
