Which model of all the Jansport backpacks is it (I see that the color varies a lot between models)?Just got my jacket back from our local seamstress. Re-antique zipper added and angled cut done to the cuff areas. NOTE: It's one tough zipper so we added some Zipper-Ease lubricant to the teeth to smooth it out a bit. As of current takes some strength to zip this together. It was very affordable and just 2 blocks away from our homeAlso not 100% screen accurate but a homage to the Young Peter Quill outfit i am building for my son. 1980s vintage Jansport back pack with various patches added: NASA MEATBALL patch was the only 1 i can ID. Not screen accurate palm tree, planet Earth and PacMan GHOSTS which was seen when we were first introduced to the young Peter Quill. My son loves it. Vintage plaid red and black wool hunting jacket is from SEARS. Gray RIVER Rafter t-shirt worn by the Young Peter Quill and Bereet on order. Hope this helps in your build. My friend will be coming over this late afternoon to paint the arm badge glyph and valve. Distress and wear will be added to darken the overall look as best as possible.

I made this version helmet using Joatrash FXI always call that the “cherry on top” mentality and it’s exactly how I do things too. JoeProps3D’s files are great but a little tough to work with.
It needs a mix of FDM and resin printing (for the detail sections) but has a TON of cool details.
Here’s a video of a version someone made from his files:
That was a real novel build! Nice mod! (I think I only printed one or two copies of those parts.)I made this version helmet using Joatrash FX
Star Lord's Helmet, accurate with screen used lineage.
I ordered 2 face parts & used my dremel to cut into the two to make the end result. I used a magnetic phone charging connector to make the contact for the LEDS to work. The last slide is the video.
The screen jacket has clear (not black) fabric paint, most likely with pearlescent medium in it.I
The swatches of that jacket had black highly reflective triangles that instantly reflect light and I notice Indy's really doesn't actually reflect it. It just looks like. Cosmetic only.

No, it was screen printed. (I wrote "paint" because it's thick and sits on top of the fabric as opposed to dye o ink, which would be fully absorbed.) I have swatches from the real fabrics they used on many costumes. After printing, you usually press-iron the fabric to "bake" the paint into it properly.So it's just painted on?

Pretty much all fabrics go dark when they get wet, and when you press clear paint into fabric, a little of the dark wet look stays. If you look at the photos on my Facebook page (click my sig) you can see the print looks both dark and reflective depending on the angle of the light hitting it.
The marvel costumes use "High Density" or "Puff" screen printed textures. The ink puffs as heat is applied. You need a different screen and ink than standard screen printing so it tends to be more expensive.I appreciate the insight! Honestly, since talking with Indy, I've become so confused with what "screen printing" is. He apparently does it a totally different way, so I didn't know at all what the process on the jacket was!
And sadly, while I know your props are excellent, clicking your sig just gets me "content not available".

I didn't do a vol 1, but it was absolutely puff on the vol 2 jacket.Great information, much appreciated!
I looked it up a bit and found puff is generally used in 3-dimensional prints, and at least for the Star Lord jacket, I don't think it's 3D, just shiny, but I still appreciate the insight!
I make a couple different models I sell on Etsy. Starship custom studioCan anyone recommend a builder for plastic quad-blasters? I'm looking for something my son can use as part of a costume but he's young and resin ones (which seem to be the most popular now) I fear he will drop and they'll shatter. And I thought about repainting the Rubies or Nerf ones but apparently they're sadly no longer made.
Which helmet are you using? I use magnets in mine.Does anyone have a good hinge option for the Star-Lord helmet? I'm looking to connect the front half to the back half with a hinge at the top and I'm having a hard time finding a hinge that'll work
