SO, as with many other people on here, I've been a lurker for the past two years, as I began the process of deciding what to build for myself. I've already begun working on Belakor's Recon helmet, but that's a story for another time. This post on the other hand is to ask the community for help, and opinions on a side project I want to build with my helmet. I've always been in love with Star Wars, and of course the respected Commander Cody. Recently I found that his pepakura files are a little hard to find, especially his jetpack. I finally found a 3D model to be unfolded, and although I could do it myself I was curious as to if someone with more experience could unfold it for the community. I'll also be posting pictures as I work on it, and would love any criticism, critiquing, and help anyone can dish out. I'll also throw in the modifications that I already know how to do, and are planned.
This is a sample for anyone who doesn't know what it looks like:
And another from the movie, just because.
Modifications:
Progress:
Pep: Finished!
Glassed:
Detailed:
Electronics:
Progress so far!
With one small issue sadly, should be fixed with the fiberglass and bondo do I'll be doing on the outside.
Thanks to Demogorgon for the unfold!:

Note: I did not create any of these files or pictures, and take no ownership of them.

Modifications:
- Harness (I plan on having straps cross my chest, holding a base for the pack on my center-back
- Magnetic release (The pack will be connected by way of magnets, and an indentation for the base to fit into)
- *Copper contact points?* (Possibly put a power source inside, to power electronics inside and out of the pack?)
- Magazine slot (No, not the kind you read. I'm debating on cutting out the thruster, and instead creating a magnetic slot for a pistol magazine, as I need something to carry the few things I need. I'm a runner in airsoft.)
- Hatch (Of course. One possibiity is using the upper front portion, above the thruster and using a sliding hinge to allow it to stay parallel, but slide out and down the pack?)
- Again, any criticism, ideas, or suggestions are welcomed gratefully.
