All Aluminum Rocketeer Jetpack build

[gregday]

Holy moly.

 

[joberg]

Ah, the smell/noise of freshly shaped Alu

 

[DavidJGuyton]

Well that worked out beautifully. My most accurate cowl so far.

 

[Lear60man]

Thats just art.

 

[joberg]

Yep, Art with a capital A

 

[DavidJGuyton]

Finished the first (of four) jetpacks today. Two are sold already. This one ships tomorrow. I took the pics outside and the color is kind of washed out. Indoors the shadows are a lot more dramatic. Sorry about the different picture sizes!

 

[NextGenMaker]

Wow.

 

[joberg]

I think Wow is not suitable for that kind of Artwork...it's gonna take quite sometimes, for me, to come up with the right word

Mate that's absolutely astonishing, that's some next level craftsmanship.

 

[Trooper_trent]

wait WHAAT!?!? how did I miss this??
OMG I HAVE to have one of these! I've been obsess with flying my whole life and recently became a paramotor pilot all because of this movie LOL

One of the most beautiful things I have seen this year, and considering the number of videos, movies and images one can absorb on a daily basis that is, deservedly, saying something. Absolute deco poetry, also love how you have are arranged all the atoms in this work in a face-centred cubic form.

 

[Shinki-Ro]

AMAZING !!

 

[DavidJGuyton]

Sooooo....I had retired form making these things, but people just keep coming to me asking to make more, so I started again. These are some much better pics than the previous ones. The design is almost the same, but I did change the finlets and radiator to be a little more accurate. This one is probably the one with the best fit and finish yet.

 

[eethan]

that is really amazing! cannot find the words either, great work! thank you for sharing

 

[Trooper_trent]

I have no words for this....


PM sent (please say yes, please say ye, please say yes....)

 

[joberg]

With results like this, you cannot retire

 

[ScottageCheese]

This has to be the coolest, sexiest thing I've ever seen.

 

[Halliwax]

Totally late to the party, but talk about craftsmanship… this is unbelievable

 

[Deric]

Looks fantastic. When I saw you doing the steel ones on Youtube I hoped for an aluminum version. I wonder if you could fill the pop rivets with solder vs using flush rivets to give it the aircraft rivet look in the movie?

Nice work brotha!
