So I'm starting a project that I've considered for a looong time. I loved The Rocketeer as a kid and the design of the jetpack and helmet have stuck with me ever since, so I always wanted to make my own.
I've started by 3D modelling the helmet in Autodesk Maya using reference photos of the real prop from the movie that was sold on Prop Store a while ago. The plan is to 3D print the helmet on my Ender 3 and make the jetpack using a mix of foam, 3D printed parts, worbla and a bunch of stuff from the hardware store probably. As for the outfit itself, I don't really know! I've never done any leather work, so I believe the best course of action would be to buy a somewhat accurate leather jacket second hand and then modify it to be more screen accurate... As for the rest of the outfit, I'm a bit less concerned since I feel like as long as you get the jetpack, helmet and jacket right, you'll pull off the character rather well.
Anyway. that's enough waffling from me. Here are some pictures of the 3D model I made!
EDIT:
Grand reveal!
