Bounty Hunter Jango/Boba Fett Inspired Rocket Jet Pack!

Bounty Hunter Rocket Jet Packs...
as well as the typical photograph overload!

 (notice the ability switch as well as the boost buttons?)

Ever since the Jet Packs of 2012,

my boy has requested a Bounty Hunter Jet Pack...

similar Jango or Boba Fett.

We institute this 1 online somewhere...

as well as modeled ours after it!

 

My boy informed me that he didn't desire it
to get got a tall missile launcher on the middle similar this one...which
is to a greater extent than accurate...but he's 4...so I don't blame him.

Pretty expert anyway!



We used two 1-liter bottles...and 1 2-liter...ha ha.
We spray painted them white as well as gray...sort of a blaster scarred look.

 We used an erstwhile ramen noodle box...and to a greater extent than or less webbing
to brand the backpack.

 We used an erstwhile seatbelt for the front end latching mechanism...
as well as seriously, that sealed the coolness deal!

 I knotted the dorsum thence I could loosen it when he gets bigger...
it volition withal get got to a greater extent than or less reassembling, but I wont get got to kickoff over.

 Then nosotros mounted the booster packs!

 We used the bottles alongside the cone tips facing skyward this time!
With the centre 1 raised...giving it a bounty hunter look!

 We made a to a greater extent than or less piddling felt caps for the tips of
the rockets...
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 strip hot glued inwards one-half simply downwards 1 edge...

 Like this

 And as well as then the opened upward border rounded off...

Hot glued as well as stuck correct onto the tips!

We did the side packs alongside white as well as the centre alongside blue!

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 similar opened upward cone was made for the bottom of the boosters...

I hot glued a drinking glass pebble within at the tip and

 pressed it on the base of operations of the booster.

The precious stone keeps the cone inwards the proper shape and 

mounts the felt firmly to the bottom of the soda bottle.

Just similar this!

We took it out for a examination drive...perhaps prematurely.
I was told that is was cooler...but it needed to a greater extent than or less buttons to make
it to a greater extent than cooler.

 So dorsum to the arts and crafts tabular array it went...
all the piece Star Wars 2: The Clone Wars blared on the speakers!
Might equally good run into Jango Fett to spur the excitement!

Here's where nosotros added those ability switch as well as booster buttons!

And to a greater extent than or less fancy shapes on the rockets as well as sides...

And the eleven yr erstwhile blood brother made him a wrist com as well as pistols
 out of fleck cardboard...like mother, similar son!

Pure joy.  I am certain all the other bounty hunter moms

 feel the same means I do!

Oh my, I honey this!

Seriously, two hours after after play play play...I discovery him similar this:

Totally asleep.

Probably simply didn't desire to get got off the jet packs...

as well as he takes such expert tending of his stuff...he didn't desire to shell them.

I took to a greater extent than or less pictures, removed his jet packs as well as tucked him inwards for an

afternoon bounty hunter nap.

So adorable.
