I decided I couldn't stand it anymore and wanted my own Rocketeer stuff. As I cant fork out the big bucks, I decided to put my artistic skills to the challenge. Are they up for it? Time will tell. I have until this Halloween to get two complete Rocketeer suits finished; one for myself, and one for my 6 year old son. I hope its ok, I will be putting both build logs together here, but I will be sure to point out which of the two kits I'm working on if its unclear.
So first off, I had to build my own 3D model. I didn't photograph the helmet 3D model as it was just...bad...but it did the trick.
Then from the model, I extracted templates for both the Full scale build, and the child sized build:
Full:
Child sized:
Beside each other for size reference:
From there it was sanding....sanding........ sanding.... (still a WIP at this point)
Child sized:
Full:
Full:
Now a Rocketeer wouldn't be much of a Rocketeer without a helmet. So, as mentioned, it was modeled, template, and printed:
Full:
And of course, my little man's gotta have his helmet, slightly scaled down:
He wasn't allowed to move as the fin was just balanced atop of the helmet haha!
I'll post more pictures just as soon as I can. I get commissioned a lot, and I have a few other personal builds I have going on, so time is short. Thanks for checking it out!
