I couldn't attach this photo to yesterday's post about my jetpack, but here's the helmet I made to go with it. I got the 3D model for it from CADGothenburg on Etsy, printed it in PETG on a Bambu Lab P1S, glued it together and used UV-curing plastic to smooth out the seams, sanded & painted it, and heat-formed lenses out of tinted acrylic. There's some generic helmet padding on the inside, and I'll be adding a proper chinstrap once my shipment of leather shows up. Oh, and I blacked out the mouth part with the outside material from a black N95 mask from COVID, because it lets through enough air that it doesn't fog up the lenses from the inside.

I know I just joined here, but I'm really stoked that I finished my jetpack, with custom exhaust effects. Now I get to start on the leatherworking for my harness.

Check it out! Here is THE ROCKETEER ‘INFILTRATOR’ issue 1 Variant cover I drew recently for @mikefederali (Incredible Conventions) EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at HAMPTON COMIC-CON 2026

Hello i recently found this in a antique mall and I cant seem to find anything like it online

It looks hand painted and hand molded

The head is just the helmet it has no head underneath

It has 1 closed hand on the left and one open gripping hand on the right

It has knees and legs and arm articulation

No head or elbow articulation

The barcode on the back reads is Topps rocketeer cards

Also it doesnt a jet pack on the back

Please help is this a custom or a prototype or pre production

Thanks

I've taken it carefully out of its box and now can show up close photos of the figure

Ive found a screw hole/hole where a jetpack could have gone and a china marking on the back of his helmet
