Next Dec? Next year? You take one year to repair your jumpsuit?

Can you think of just one way to drill your jetpack?

Herry,

This is a 2 person job. To mark out the area you want to drill, keepin in mind the placement of your back armor eyelets...first, get your friend to place the JP onto your back [with your back armor on], note and mark out the location of the back armor eyelet to your JP.

Next, taking into consideration the sized buckles and straps you are using, mark it down and draw out the placement holes.

[Remember, this part of the set up is important if you want the JP to sit perfectly on your back, with secure stability and very little movement restriction, so take your time with this.] It took me 6 times to work out the proper placement of my drilled holes and it was a bit tedious...but it paid off in the end. I have one of the most secure and stable JP setups around. Even with the dancing I did in Taipei, my JP stayed put on the same spot on my back.

If it's all properly marked out, the holes you'll need to cut will be on the plate that's removable. Then use a dremel with the drill bit attachment, drill out the edges, then switch to a fiberglass reinforced cutting wheel to remove the big pieces. Once done, use jeweller's hand files to clean up the edges and fine sand it to smoothen out the raw areas. [FYI, you should have cut out the holes first before painting.

].

I would also suggest you do a bottom securement as that will help keep the JP in check and position.

BTW, hit either Suntec or Shaw Towers for the High Seirra backpack. It's no longer in black, but multicolored. Still, no ones gonna see it as it sits under both your vest and back armor.

Good luck!

Tim.

Herry,

Looking good bro, however some things I noticed that you will have to work on.

1. Weathering, you're suit looks too clean bro...the dirtier the better.

2. Your Hip Pouches are a tad small, can you shoot me your measurements please? Thanks.
3. The Thigh Pocket Flaps, are they angled? If so, to which side? I can't seem to see it.
4. And you're missing a thong on your butt bro.

Thanks. LMK and once again, nice work bro.

Stay safe,

Tim.

Just like Tim... you guys like to show your face and other things not to be seen when you are in your bucket... is that suppose to be a statement for all the mandolarian....?

Henry I notice that day the poncho you wore wasn't torn and that made me uncomfortable. Now in the pics you look absolutely gorgeous!

Tim, I think the weathering can come as he troop along and tends to have some people will be throwing some curry or some rubbish onto him... so No worries about doing weathering...
