I have been wanting a jetpack for Phantom Ace for quite awhile, so I finally decided to make my own… Here's a simple flying stand and jetpack I designed and 3d printed ---
Finally, Ace takes to the air with his brand new jetpack! ---
The 1/8" acrylic rod can be swapped out for different heights – but 16" seems to be his ceiling at the moment ---
Best Christmas gift ever! The smile on the ol' boy's face says it all --- :D
More to come….

Well, if anyone deserves a jetpack, it's Phantom Ace. But now I'm feeling so retro for making things by hand. |

Very nice! Is it allowed for Phantom Ace to say "Up, up and away!"? Or "To infinity and beyond!"? |

"Aces high!" or "Ace's high!"

"Up and at them!"
Would you model a bit of smoke and flame to cover the joint between the rod and the rocketpack? |

THANKS guys, I'm glad you like it. It made us start thinking about doing some variant miniatures for some of our characters. What do you think? @ tberry -- Those cor-sec stand look nice, but I tend to like making this kind of stuff myself. :D
@ deflatermouse -- Personally, I don't find the idea of adding smoke/flame too appealing. I got way too many projects going at the moment, and some stuff is not worth the extra fuss. AND – I'm happy with the way it looks.
More to come!

Yeah, that looks like an awesome and versatile kit. |

Sorry, I forgot to say it looks excellent.
I'd like some to make some US Jumptroopers. |

THANKS deflatermouse! We're getting lots of use out of the nice ship you sent us. :D
HAVE FUN

That looks really cool! Good job! |

That's a great idea for jump troops……anyone have any reccs for pivoting a mini on a flight stand….I'm thinking magnets and a all bearing or BB? |

Twoball: Check out the Corsec link I posted above. If using the telescoping rods one come with a pivoting head. If using a fixed length rod the have a spherical head you use with a magnetic attached to the model. Follow the link: link |
finds it's better to get started than to waste time planning!
