Bright ideas for Squat backpacks?

Long story, but I have a bunch of mono-pose Squats in need of the metal backpacks that some were initially released with i.e.


*Hat tip CCM wiki’s Squat collectors guide*

The Squats were a score from the Warfare show’s bring & buy many years ago and the originally owner decided he wanted to field a uniform unit of jump pack troopers using the RT marine packs (nice).

Anyway, I’m weighing up my options — e.g. press mould the one that I already own, buy more at £4.99 a pop from Goldfish Blue on eBay, proxy something else more modern that’s readily available — and wondered whether there were others? For instance, you worthies might know somebody that makes aftermarket replacement parts using 3D printing or something.
 
I always rather fancied some of these wonderfully OTT retro jump packs from Spellcrow: https://www.spellcrow.com/space-knights ... p-297.html

I don't have any so couldn't comment on scale, might be a bit overkill for Squats, but maybe that would just add to the look!

I do remember the old metal Squat jump packs - my brother and I had one squat with one, kept falling off the flight stand we fixed him to if I remember correctly.
 
Interesting looking packs.

TBF, the marine jump packs looked fine on the Squats, but I’m looking for something lower key and less jumpy :lol:
