Building jet pack using Eva craft foam / Worbla

[tsam]

Hey guys,

Newbie here making my first scratch build project of a jet pack.

Decided to experiment with worbla. I was introduced to this material last year at the Toronto prop party event.

For this project i'll be using EVA craft foam and worbla.

Thought i would begin with the jet pack nozzle. Used EVA foam to create the shape of the funnel:

Wrapped worbla over the foam and tried smoothing it out, but this turned out more difficult than i expected. I wasn't able to maintain and consistency and smoothness working with the worbla after i heated it. Scrapped that plan and made two foam nozzle and shaped a piece of worbla between.

Turned out better than i expected:

let me know what you guys think.

Nozzle piece is just the beginning......

Any comments/advice/suggestion is welcomed.

Hey it's been a year... is that a 1/6 scale jet pack? Or is it 1:1?
It's for Hikaru's pilot uniform, I suppose.
