---

Ok where to begin, i started on this about 4 months back my friend told me he had a extra shell and all the stuff it would need that he would sell to me cheap, so i figured why not since ive never built a movie pack ill give it a go. I dont have alot of progress pics of the build so far in but its on going.

I started off with the resin shell sanding, filling, sanding, priming, wetsanding, YOU GET THE IDEA THERE WAS A LOT OF SANDING...................


As you can see the bubbles were not to bad but there was some major warping on the power cell but easily fixed

The trim on the pack was not to bad few hours with a box knife and a sander.

I didnt like the resin post it had for the injector tubes so i ground those off.


I got the paint finally just the way i wanted!
If anyone would like to know i use Krylon BBQ black paint



Now where i am i have got the weathering done on the shell tomarrow moves onto the rest.




More to come.............Gigidty

Oh my, is that some more of your delicious cinnamon weathering I see? Looks good so far , can't wait to poke at this one in person too

Nice weathering! Maybe just lesson the amount of silver on the EDA discs a little?

@Harry yes it is my special blend of pack seasonings lol maybe if im lucky ill have it at the christmas parade.btw this one will be lighter....maybe

@Nick the weathering on the eda is actually metal foil glued to the top of the disc so its actually metal showing through instead of paint

Small update - i got alot of the hoses,HGA Ion arm and the cable on ill post an update later.

Got a little more work done yesterday.









How does she look?

wow looks great i want to get one for my husband for his birthday

Nice ! how are you doing the rusting effect please ?

Cinnamon!

... I didn't just ruin a secret, did I???

Yes and Nope louis
Its a mixture of a base of testors rust paint thinned down then a layer of cinnamon over that the around the edges for a thin dusty look to feather the edges i take steel wool and soak in in a small cup of vinegar until it rusts into a paste then i use the rust paste as a paint.

Thank you kind sir, it looks awesome and looking forward to seeing more progress on your pack
