Hello all. Joined the forums a few days ago, been a long time lurker though. A friend of mine and I have finally decided to get off our butts and build our first proton packs. Kind of cutting it close this close to Halloween. My friend met Gareee at Dragoncon and talking to him and seeing his pack gave us the motivation to get started. We started mocking a pack together this pack weekend. I've been going mostly by what Gareee did. We're using the electrical boxes and the insulation foam. There are still a few questions popping up here and there but hopefully we can find the help we need here. Gareee has already been a huge help answering some of the questions we had about the build.
We pretty much have everything we need at this point. The only thing we're really having trouble finding is a solid Cyclotron light solution. I've seen a lot of suggestions on here over the past couple of days, so I should be able to have something by the time we start cutting foam.
Right now I've spent the past day measuring and recutting stencils. Right now I just need the booster base measured and cut then I should be able to start cutting and playing with the foam. Hopefully I'll have the foam cut by the weekend. But anyway, here's a picture of a mock we need last night. Any suggestions or comments are always appreciated.
