Been busy working on the new packs and gear for the movie. That means 4x everything (since we will all have identical gear). My son and wife have been ill, and with the added stress my doc says I have acid reflex (just what I needed). But, the electronics are done for the Burgh Pack Mark II's, so now I'll work on the wands. Lots left to do..

I painted it with Drylock I had leftover from when the previous owners painted the basement (that stuff lasts a long time!) on Saturday, and I painted it with a gray mix of Drylock/slush latex/acrylic craft paint. I hope to paint it black tomorrow. My son still has a fever (it's been a few days), so my wife is taking him to the doc's tomorrow. We're going to see my sister this Friday, so I'm hoping they can give my little Jr. GB something to make him feel better.

Well, after many comments that were good, bad, and ugly, I have gutted the pack and started to make it look more finished. I was trying to see what worked/didn't work with the protoype, and "sculpted" it out of various junk parts. I was working on the electrical system last night, but some of the scrap electronics weren't co-operating. : ( I seem to have less and less time to work on it with my wife working nights, chores, working full time, and playing with my son (which is really important) I'm hoping to have it done by the end of April for the Pittsburgh comicon (assuming I can go, given my wife's unpredictable schedule, and the factn that I don't drive. They are having a costume contest, and you can get in for free, too, UGH! Very frustrating. Go to Proton Packs>Da Burgh Pack for pictures and commentary.
