That looks awesome. Are you going to offer casts of the planet and the back plate?
For sure the backplate but debating on the Horn Button....I'll let you know in the next few days.

Omg that looks amazing.... How did you do that??
I want to learn ima YouTube videos..
PS: if you go by the funko size.. They are 1" in diameter.. So 1.125 would be perfect
I have a bunch of pins if you want me to bust out the caliper.. I have the ones used in the movie..both the one Athena gave her, and the one the new recruits get at the end. If you need me to measure them I'd be happy to

I do a lot of subtractive modeling in Rhino, I leave the more complex organic stuff to the sculptors in Freeform.
I think the case holes are actually slightly smaller than the width of the pins, if you take a close look at the prop photo, you can see that the outer most diameter is higher up then the diameter of the hole the pin is in. It has to do with the angle it is laying back at.
I'll keep my pin at 1.125 and rework stuff, I have regular to work to get to then back to this for some break time.
Sorry but I really do not teach 3D modeling so much, Im more of artist that happens to use it as a tool to push projects along. If you can just do some regular sketching and some Adobe Illustrator work, you maybe be able to 3D sculpt or model.
If you have issues figuring out proportions in drawings in general, you need to get that down first before even moving on to 3D. Or if your a good sculptor or draftsperson, that helps a lot.
I took a look at the movie in bit today, I guess the planet emblem on the jetpack has the bubble over it in some shots? At least in the invention hall shot it seemed to have the bubble.
Do you guys know if there are close up of the case in an any shots in the movie?
Did anyone get a side or straight on front view of the prop at Disney?
Guys another thing, I would recommend getting that faux carb part, laser cut. It quite easy to get some and you can use real bolts, then you can polish and weather it correctly.
Just a thought.

HELP!!!
I need some advice. I bought some tanks on ebay. I could not pass them up, I got a matching set of vintage tanks that even had the correct shaped handles and the ribbing before the tank slopes into the round part. When I bought the seller said it was 6 inches but, he must have measured the base and the tank ended up being a little smaller then what he was measuring which was not even 6 inches.
This build is getting very expensive for my tastes and my question is do you think the gap is too much and that I should relist the tanks or do you think it can still work. the wheeled handle caps are also smaller then they needed to be (the are about 4.6 inches)

I'd look for the correct size tanks. They will actually need to be sliced so you can squeeze them into the vacuum part as they are a little wider. It is getting up there in cost to go with as much found parts as possible so it depends on your goal.
Been crazy this week so I haven't been able to make any progress on my build but hopefully this weekend will get the tanks all assembled!

What is the piece that the wires are going into? Off the shelf or did you make it?
I made it out of piece of plastic, cut off the end of a Plastic wedge thing.
Yeah its funny my dad and I will be going up and down the aisles at Lowes and then he says, "I'll just make it out of plastic And paint it" !!

A little progress this weekend. Got the bottom part of the tanks all put together. Thanks again Blastmaster for the awesome nozzles!
Should have the extinguishers mounted and start working on the top parts this week.
Just picked up some handle bars and seat belt webbing and parts also.

I guess everyone is on vacation, been pretty dead here. I got a little more progress before I head out for some vacation time as well.
Not happy with the top canister so I'm going to redo it. It's killing me that we can't figure out what the real world item is. As someone who has restored many classic cars it looks so familiar but just can't seem to place it.

Finally a prop that I can take interest in. Been a long time since I've been inspired to recreate something, plus I've had an old Electrolux sitting around for a decade trying to figure out what to do with it!!
I've decided to take the cheaper route and use all found parts, not making an exact replica, but in the spirit of. Like most kids of the 60's, I have been mesmerized by jetpacks and have designed my own, thousands of times while bored in school.
Since I already had an Electrolux 30, I decided to just paint it fire extinguisher red and use a cocktail shaker tin for the exhaust nozzle as it keeps with the mid century look I love.
It's amazing the cool connectors and fittings you can find in the plumbing aisle at Lowes and with a couple of old gauges, a vintage backpack frame and handle bars, I'll have something cool to hang in my Barbershop to make both adults and kids alike gaze in amazement.
Here are a couple of pics of what I am doing.
