Hey Rocketeer! I'm going to ask a boneheaded question, but did I get my deposit in to you?

 

[TheRocketeer]

OK this reminds me.. I opened up a few more deposits.. never heard back from some... so now deposits are closed for sure.. I will be ordering pieces and parts just to cover this run.. and I am working on this constantly here and there.. as soon as I have something nice enough to take pics of I will update


Yep you were the first one

I want your best completed pack and accessories and will send you additional funds, just PM me and I will make sure you are paid.

 

[TheRocketeer]

Not sure what your clarifying. But a PM would be a better way to contact me

Just curious, are the engine flap control rods going to be a solid rod or a telescopic rod ?
My completed MIM Pack just has the solid steel rods.

Just like heronpavks for the movie. They will be solid rods. There weren't any telescopic rods on the packs.

Got these photos several years ago that I thought were original Disney packs and had telescopic flap rods, guess I was mistaken, thank you for the correction.

4 out of the 5 pics are the metal pack. I'm making a hero pack, not sure about the one on the mannequin. But all the shots I have of the hero packs have solid rods. So that's what I'm going with

Picture 4 of 5 is not a mannequin but an original pack found by someone in an obscure location and authenticated by Disney.
Was just curious, but no big deal, just thought it might help in the authenticity of the pack.

Did you collect all the components already?
i love to see what you have so far.

 

[andsuor]

Any updates on this? I understand it might take some time, but I'm still curious to see what progress there have been

me too very excited for this project!

 

[EEvansHilton]

Just poking my head over the fence, peaking in the workshop windows, putting a glass against the wall, peeping through the hole in the tent.......you know, spying...any tidbits, morsels, news of any kind?

 

[major payne]

WOW!!!

Very keen to jump on board if anyone decides to pullout of this run

I like to see any progress on this project!
Is it still in production Rocketeer?

 

[markpoon]

anyone heard from TheRocketeer? I've paid a $300 deposit for the rocket pack & there's no update from him since July so I'm getting a little worried

 

[TheRocketeer]

Hey guys

Yes I am still on this. Had to move shops and get a new one set up..not a planned thing.

I am still working on getting the engines accurate and all the pieces printed out. The main shell is pretty close to done and the grills are done. I still have a couple of things to make and some rivets to install. And the TIe rod ends are on the way according to the shipper. I have the 1/2 round pieces for the engine flaps and the template for the flaps themselves. Working out the best thickness for the aluminum for the flaps and what rod I will end up using for the connector rods. I am also trying to figure out what I can do for the buckle for everyone who is still interested in the harness.

I will update this thread more often now I am settled. But I assure you I will be making these as soon as I have everything ready and accurate.

I like to see any progress on this project!
