NEXT-GEN Nescot week 8 - Jet-pack

During week nine we were tasked with creating a model of a jet-pack. For this task I decided to take inspiration for my jet-pack from the jet-pack in Fallout 4.
Firstly, I started by creating the upper half of the jet-pack, I did this by using extruded and edited cylinders to make a similar shape towards the shoulders, these would be used as smaller jets on the outer sides of the jet-pack; I also created straps which would later be modified to be more slanted inwards and would connect with the rest of the jet-pack.

Secondly, I created a cube that I connected to the central piece of the jet-pack using extruded cubes, I then used more of these types of cubes to add the appearance of ventilation on the cube, I also moved the previously outward-facing straps inward towards the cube. Alongside this, I added another cylinder connecting the main cylinder and central cylinders together. The central cylinders on top of the main cylinder also had small bolts on-top to give the impression of where fuel is entered.

Once I had done this, I then extruded the cube to a more unusual and waist-land like appearance and added more jets (that were larger) to the cube, as well as a wire connecting into the central cylinders and the smaller jets were then connected to the cube with (solid) wires.

Next, I greatly increased detail of the cube by adding cylinders, spheres and cubes. This was done by adding spheres on-top of the jets and cubes connecting into these spheres. After this I added cylinders to give an effect of fuel tankers and I added two cylinders at the front of the cube connecting into a smaller, flatter cylinder infused to the front of the jet-pack (I also added wires to the back but these were removed shortly afterwards).

Finally, I began detailing the jet-pack by making the main connecting cylinder smaller, adding small details such as small bolts in the sides of the larger jets, adding connectors to the wires and adjusting the back straps to fit a human mesh.

Over all I believe I did well on this task, however, if I could change anything in my design I would add texturing to the mesh in order to give it a more rustic metal look.
