CrookKnight[501st] Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I am beginning the Jump Pack Build My thought process here is to use PVC Foam Board for the creation of the prototype. From there, I will be able to create molds for Vac-Forming and/or 3D printing. The prototype will be built in white and a second one will be constructed in black. I personally want a black one, since I am slowly building a Shadow Trooper. It is not my intention to take this project over from anyone, I just currently have the time to be able to work on this. Please feel free to comment on this thread as much as you want. I am sure there will be some trial and error (just like with the Magma (Sullust) Trooper pack). 1 Link to comment
CrookKnight[501st] Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Here are some additional reference pictures I am using. It appears there are at least 3 types of Jump Packs: 1. Shadow Trooper Jump Pack - Black 2. Storm Trooper Jump Pack - White 3. Rebel jump Pack - Green - the pack itself is different. (Obviously I will not be building this one).

CrookKnight[501st] Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) This is my first attempt at the Template for the Jump Pack. What do you guys think? Tomorrow (tonight) I will begin forming the PVC for my Prototype. Edited January 18, 2017 by CrookKnight 1 Link to comment

Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Definitely impressed. I am just thinking how terrible mine would look. Probably something like this: 1 Link to comment

CrookKnight[501st] Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 I was able to spend a little time on the Jump Pack, last night. Below are some of the photos. First, I am constructing this via 2D, then I will add the depth and make it 3 dimensional. Then all of the detail work... By the way, I am posting all of these pictures from Facebook instead of Photobucket. (Much easier). 1 Link to comment
CrookKnight[501st] Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Latest progress on the Jump Pack. Almost done with the face of the pack. Remaining PVC should be in this week, so I can build sides and back. Still alot of details to work on. Need to find someone who can help me with metal thrusters on the sides and the heat shields.

ukswrath[TX] Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The back pack master Link to comment
CrookKnight[501st] Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thanks Tony, you are the master of all builds. A quick update on the pack. I am getting a model of the thrusters from a gentlemen who makes Boba Fett packs (I will add his name here). Should have those in about 2 weeks. I finally got my forming putty in so I can finish the look of the pack, add the detail, and smooth out the corners. Once that is complete, I will be looking at vacforming this pack in parts so I can make them faster and this kind of pack will look great using this method. Link to comment

Scubacat[TX] Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 This looks amazing! Keep up the great work! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
CrookKnight[501st] Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Working with someone now to vacform the pack. Going to base it off this work and complete this pack. Now that I finished the Battlefront Magmatrooper Pack, I have some time. Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Awesome! It's been great seeing this come to life. Link to comment
CrookKnight[501st] Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Thrusters should be in next week. Ready to get this first one done. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Link to comment
CrookKnight[501st] Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I finally got the thrusters in. Now we are designing this in 3D in order to get it as accurate as possible. Once complete, I will print the first one in PLA. Should come out similar to my Spacetrooper Pack. Lightweight and durable. Below is a quick look at the 3D file. We still have some work to do on it.
