I'm going back to Uni so I've posted pics of my pack in it's current state. Still very much a WIP. I didn't get as much done as I'd hoped, mainly due to having other stuff on, the extremely cold / hostile weather and my general uselessness

Well, back to Uni again today after a 3 week Easter break. Yet again, I've not progressed as much as I wanted or as much as I could have. Wanted to at least have everything bolted together and primed but I've lacked a lot of motivation for anything recently. Got the gun mount done, HGA, PPD, 3 ply Motherboard, Spacer, etc. Booster frame by nick-a-tron, resin crank knob from MMM. Won't be able to do much else to it till Summer break
My own fault, sleeping gets you no-where!

Well the Summer Holidays are here and I'm hard at work on my pack, as you can see it's coming along quite nicely now! There are still quite a few things left to do, but I can't resist putting what I have all together and wearing it around the house sometimes! I recently received my cyclotron and pack lights from JT94 and they are a truck load of awesome! Now I have to figure out how to attach them! Wish me luck!

Howdy folks! GB_Wales here, (I changed my username to be more patriotic!) with some new pics and news. In the past few days I've been working hell for leather to try and finish this pack before I have to disappear to University again. I've become very lax over the holidays and I'm definitely regretting it now! (Damn you, video games and damn you, social life!)
But all is not lost! I figured that if I manage to finish painting all the components before the end of tomorrow (17/09/09), I could take everything with me to Uni and finish putting stuff together there (gluing, detailing etc..).
It's going to be a close one, but I think I'll manage it! Wish me luck once more!

Mission Accomplished! (see 16/09/09) Minus Bumper and Knob
.... Oh well, I'll do that on a weekend soon!

EPIC FAIL!! 2 Nights before Halloween and a week before the proper UK release of the Video Game and nothing significant has been done to my pack! I've been really busy with my University course, and the pack has remained at home gathering dust. Soo it looks like I just majorly fail this year... yet again... roll on Halloween 2010.
02/01/10-----UPDATE-----
Well now I can actually officially say that the work on my pack spans across two decades! Well ok, maybe not actually whole entire decades, but you get the idea...
I'm still waiting on labels to become available and haven't finalized the lights (maybe makeshift sound too!) but my pack is looking a whole lot more complete looking, and I'm very proud of the results so far. I've had a set of tubing and the ribbon cable hidden away for quite a while now, so it's so satisfying to see them finally in place. Bizarrely enough, I got my brass rod for the ion arm as a Christmas present from my parents! :S That and a new 19" Digital HD TV!
Anyway, Happy New Year everyone! Can't wait for what 2010 has in store!

New pics with added sticker awesomeness from theonlytexaspete (Alexei)!
