After having my flightsuit for over a year it seems about time that I finally make a proton pack. It would be neat if I am able to finish this by Halloween to go rock some costume contests.
Started last friday by cutting the motherboard out of some wood I had lying around.
Spacer built out of EVA floor mat foam.
Body of Clippard is a film canister. I ended up replacing the foam board with a couple sheets of thin craft foam raising it up.
I had some extra red material used to wrap drums, that seemed like a perfect filter for the cyclotron lights. Still unsure as to how I'll go about electronics to light them up.
Added a Pringles can N-Filter. Ended up a little too big but I think for this first pack I can handle the N-Filter coming off the bottom a little bit. I also took a dremel to the cyclotron to round off the edge better.
Got a bunch of fun metal splinters but I got the wire screen into the N-Filter last night. After failing to find a screen door repair kit as I had hoped I ended up taking apart a bathtub drain cover.
Hopefully will work more on it tonight but not sure as I'll be helping a friend sand the bondo on his pep pack.
Cheers,
Shawn
