Interest Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***Deposits closed

Well, I have had Westies14 production stunt jet pack for a year or so.. been planning how to tackle this and get some screen accurate material from hero packs.

So I am finally making a scratch mold of the stunt pack and will be remastering the resulting cast to include details from the hero rocketpacks. I'll be replacing the missing fins to match the remaining ones, remastering the vents to match the hero with its "shelf," and completing the engines to include the section behind those vents.

This pack is a production piece, but I've always wanted a hero version to display. It will have this precise, perfect hull, the bits people can miss like the radiator fins "welded" to the nosecones. I will add extra details from the hero packs - the additional rivets and scribed lines, possibly a kit to have the perforated grill with two mini XLR jacks and an A/C jack, as the hero packs were different scene to scene.

I will even be recreating the hero harness in leather, making the glove/gauntlet activator. Westies14 sent me the proper vintage airbrush compressor fan, and I was able to source a matching hardware part for the replicas.

I will estimate the jet pack itself would be $1000-1200usd + shipping depending on pieces I will include in the kit, and cost of things like correct fans, rods, flaps etc..

The harness will be somewhere in the $400-600usd + shipping this will depend on leather cost and work involved as well as getting some screen accurate buckles done up

The glove activator price tbd depending on how much source I can get so I can make it as accurate as possible too.

Please post interest in Pack, harness, activator or all three below.

Here's the stunt hull, ready for molding:




Oh and just to add.. I am working on getting a scan of a certain production helmet..so that might be a thing

Also this will be a limited run if there is enough interest to get them made.

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Put me interested on the harness and pack for now until price is officially determined.

...need to start saving.

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Very interested in the pack, possibly the other two parts depending on final price.

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Interested pending final cost and available kits for all three.

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

what kind of time frame are you working with and or thinking about TheRocketeer ? How limited are you thinking about on the run ?

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Interested in all three.

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Very interested in the harness, buckles and the helmet. Out of curiosity, is the old MIM hero pack kit not in production anymore?

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

When do you think the run will begin?

Intetested!

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

On the list

On the list.. I hope the helmet happens

On the list.. I will try and figure out prices soon.. sourcing materials still

Great on the list

Good idea

Ok I will put you on the list for the pack right now.. prices will stay within the posted estimates

On the list

I would think deposits within the month..for the pack at least.. and it would be another month..ish to get it ready for casting.. I dont want to rush this, but I do want it to be done fairly soon And for limit, right now I would say between 10-15 total packages.

On the list

No idea about MIM.. its a completely different kind of prop though.. sculpted from pictures. This is a production made piece I am adding hero pieces to. For the Harness, there is no guarantee it would fit your pack unless it has screen accurate measuremtns?

As above.. depeosits within the month and casting a month after that.. estimated. So I would say 7-10 weeks to be safe

I'm interested in the harness.

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

I'd be interested in all three.

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

On the list.. but again.. no guarantee this would fit a different pack

On the list

On the list.. you guys with packs will need to let me know the spacing of the attachment points.. you may have to mod your packs to fit this harness

Thanks you sir.. on the list

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Add me to that list as well if you would.... Definitely interested.
Thanks!

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

On the list sir!

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Ok I just wanted to let everyone know I molded the pack and took a first cast to clean out the mold. I'll cast a few more and start working on making them nice and detailed just like the hero packs . Here's a pic of the cast that came out today.

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Sweeeeeeeetness

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

That looks great!

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Whats the plan on the harness buckles? Screen Accurate? Metal?

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Thanks

Possibly a 3D print in metal, or cold cast, I want them to function though. Metal ones would probably cost far too much. And they will be as close to screen accurate as possible. Unless you have access to real ones I could mold off of? I have never seen the bigger buckle for sale anywhere.

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

put me in for all 3!

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Sure, I could have spent the weekend watching the ultra mega sportsball contest but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from this!!

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Is there going to be an option to have this cast in cold cast aluminum, or would that price be ridiculous?

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Very interested in the whole kit and kaboodle!!!!

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Plating would be the way to go

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

On the list

Thanks just a cast to work on.. make it pretty

I suppose I could, I would need a min number of people for that, and it would add to the cost.. I will see what it would take and figure out a price before I start taking deposits

On the list

Actually it wouldnt, the screen used packs were never plated. Just painted. And there was at least 1 full metal pack.. but that is again different than all the other packs.

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Yup, understood. I'm exploring this for a personal build. Sorry personal preference. I was just reacting to the idea of cold cast al vs plating on weight and expense. Although electo plating isn't exactly cheap either. All can be achieved with a decent paint job also.

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Any details on the harness you can share? I may be interested

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Ahh ok, I am going for accuracy.. but I dont have you on my list..

I'm not sure what details your asking for? I will be going for accuracey here too.. matching the material and pattern as close as I can, from the stunt harness and pictures of the production packs

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Yup my pack is slightly idealized on finish. I'm for hyper-accuracy also. I guess when you get to working on the harness I might be interested in a harness only. I understand the actual latch is a difficult part to come across.

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Actually there were two hero packs that had a thin metal outer layer - they coated the inside of the mold using a technique called "arc spraying" which deposited a very thin layer of zinc that they then backed with fiberglass.

The full metal packs (apparently they made three) were used for the practical flame effects.

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Please add me to the growing list for all three. Also interested in aluminum casting.

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

I did not know that but that wouldn't come out like chrome.. which is what everyone thinks they did..chrome plate it. I would just be offering up the resin casts.. not "arc spraying" but that would be interesting to see. And yes the all metal ones open up, panels can be taken off etc..

I will mark you down.. still not sure about the cold casting. I will look into it.

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

add me to the activator list sir. Thanks!

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Out of curiosity, will you be building the kits in order of placement on the list?

 

Re: Rocketeer Rocket Pack and Harness screen accurate ***from production made pack*

Added

I'm not sure what you mean? I am not building the kit.. unless someone wants finishing. But it would be based on who pays first. I only have an interest list right now. Hope that answers your question? If not please send a PM instead of posting
