Rocketeer pack build (UPDATE 07/02/2011)

[hikz]

Thanks mate I'm pleased with how its turning out, I just need some help moulding it

 

[Mr.Spider]

hrmmmm , judgin by the build, not alot of undercuts, you could easily get away with a 2 part mold, with a divider line straight down the sides, since you cant lay it flat you would have to start with the divider wall , possibly clay all around the sides then pour n the silicone jacket, then fiberglass after that.


i'm know there are better casting gurus around that would chime in.


I look forward to seeing you finish it

Thanks for the reply, I've got my head round the general technique for making the mould,I'm just not confident enough to attempt it on such a large scale as I have never done any mould making before and I don't want to damage the pack or waste lots of silicone so I'm really looking for someone to make the mould for me but at the moment no one has contacted me so I may have to do it myself

 

[AJLoCascio]

This pack looks amazing - I want to see this sucker molded !

 

[ozisa]

hikz this great stuff mate, enjoyin see the progress on this!...

 

[hikz]

Thanks guys, I know what you mean Mooniteman I've been looking at it for over a month now and every time I look at it I think I've got to get it moulded. I think I'll give it another week and if no one in the UK steps forward then I'll have a go at it myself.

Looks great, Jamie. Wish we were closer.

 

[hikz]

I know mate, if I was near you and Clinton this project would be well on the way to completion.

 

[UK Badger]

Jamie - I've got a mate who can mold anything. Want me to ask him if he's interested?

 

[hikz]

Mate please do, If he could do it that would be great

 

[JayPHX]

I hope one of the molded packs makes it's way over to a "fore sale" thread

AWESOME job! You MIGHT have an issue with the flap control rods hitting that lower hump.
