changing course slightly

After thinking of how I could make it I would rather make it as a theatre prop rather than a film tv piece as it would be a more creative rather than functional design and thats what I enjoy doing more. so im going to look for in house theatre prop/costume workshops, or companies that have made things for theatre and see if I can have a look on their approach to a project like this one. 'm also going to look into buying an old style flying rig harness or gynmast harness so  can build around that and have a real working theatrical jetpack.
