Packs + Backplates, Images Please?
« on: Sep 30, 2012, 04:46 AM »
I'm still in the planning part of my kit and I was hoping to make armadillo backplates. I realized this probably wouldn't work with a jetpack. No one really posts images of their backs while wearing packs (as far as I've seen). Could I see some examples? Also if anyone used a non-standard backplate with a pack, I'd be especially interested.

Most people that have a jetpack don't wear a backplate as it's not required to wear both if you have one. The one's I've seen that use both just have them bolted to the backplate (the setups I've seen personally were all standard backplates).

Im gonna have to disagree with this... I may be wrong but unless the jetpack covers your WHOLE back and hides the fact that you DONT have a backplate, one must be worn.

^^^What Cyrus said. You'll have to have a HUGE jetpack/backpack to be approvable without a backplate.

Really? I'd hate to wear a jetpack with no backplate honestly.

Are you asking more about attachment of a jetpack or just for looks? I mean it can look any way you want...

If you have questions about attachment, here's a lot of reference pics

Here's a picture of my backside for your viewing pleasure. Hopefully it helps.

I hate to be this guy, but on my WIP ( http://mercs.firespray.net/forum/index.php?topic=47081.75 ) you can see pictures on pages 6 and 7.

I'd post direct pictures, but Photobucket is stupid.

Like the guys said. Your back must be fully covered, and i'm afraid a jetpack without a backplate will not fully cover your back. During my time on the App team, we have never once passed anybody with a jetpack without a backplate.
