Real metal, working Rocketeer Cirrus X-3 jet pack FULL build thread

[TMNTRocketeer]

After a LONG delay, I am proud to finally deliver my full build thread for the Cirrus X-3 I built from the movie the Rocketeer. This was premiered at the Tribute to Dave Stevens group art show that I curated at Creature Features in Burbank, CA earlier this year on April 22. After a lot of interest, I've put together this page with albums filled with in process pictures and notes. More will be added.

This is the most accurate to the film you will find. It is built far better than even the film prop ever was. Real metal, working hardware, meticulous & period accurate details. Lights, sound, & fire/fog effects.

Thanks for ALL of your support & views this past year. Please share, discuss, comment, and explore. Check it out here:

After the Bladerunner Blaster, the Rocketeer Cirrus X-3 is my favorite film prop.

I don't even have to words to express how amazing your work is. Best I can give you is......

I remember seeing this in person and it was great to meet you! this rocket pack was breath taking and it looked like you could literally strap it on and take off, really really fun to see light up and hear at the show!

I was the guy that had the Rocketeer Normal Rockwell painting at the show with ya! cheers!

I saw a video from this show a while ago and thought man that is a good rocketpack prop. So shiny. I wish I saw it in person.
