I have been thinking of this one for some time now, including the idea of making it big enough to actually put two motors in the jetpack, but to start I have settled with a Mandalorian wearing a jetpack figure with the rocket tube up through the legs and body. Unfortunately this also means the "nose" of the rocket is his head, which will be ejected for recovery. Rest assured, others had commented on a previous thread this is in no violation of the Mandalorian Creed so long as his head stays within the helmet.
Basically I 3D printed an action figure model (one I purchased online, not made myself) with as thin of a shell as I could. I made a few modifications to fit the final product around a BT-55 tube and tilt his head at an upward looking angle. I am hoping to have this launch on either a C or D engine, but I will probably also have to 3D Print a screw on motor retainer to make that happen (not impossible but some concern around melting...)
More to come, I am hoping this one will be fun to watch.
