Re: Back to the Future II 2015 Jacket Build
I'll look for the metallux the next time I'm there. I was keeping it all in the plaskolite family, but I don't see any reason why I couldn't branch out a bit.
Already on the same wavelength as you regarding the gray material. This was a. Quick test with latex and toule. It was ok, but i think the urethane casting would be far stronger and more durable. Im now thinking about how I could take it one step better and improve on the original design.

Black or grey? I'm assuming that grey would be the best to go with.

I find it amusing that the thread only gains interest after a Gary post. On top of that, I think I remember reading a few weeks ago that not only is Gary not a bttf sicko (like so many of us) but he is just doing this project to see if he can do it. Ha!
P.s. is there a word for us bttf crazies? (I.e. Star Trek fans are Trekkies)

Re: Back to the Future II 2015 Jacket Build
Oh, I'm MOST DEFINITELY a BTTF "sicko". I'm just from a generation back and don't get nearly as excited about these things as I used to. Case in point... a little thing I built about 6 or 7 years ago.
While I'm not planning to build a jacket and that still hasn't changed - I'm curious to see if my ideas on how to build a BETTER jacket have merit. I'm not looking to copy the original prop as made in 1989. I want to see if it's possible to use MODERN materials and techniques to improve on those original designs (just like I try to do with my replica time machine).
If people here can use those techniques for their own efforts and final projects then I've done exactly what I wanted to do.... help.

Re: Back to the Future II 2015 Jacket Build
Mid last week I did a "walk for a cure" thing and everyone that signed up got a collapsible cloth lamp - it was an impressive site.
The mechanism that make the lamp fold and expand is simply using a cord stitched in helix, yet it works a treat. I wonder if the same technique could be used for the bellows on the sleeves?
