| | My first take on the proton pack. Not movie accurate, but should be close enough to pass the "six foot test".
Construction highlights:
synchronous generator, gearbox, gun mount, power cell, booster box, ion arm mount, and spacers made from polystyrene (I used "For Rent" signs I purchased at Staples)
cyclotron is carved from foam.
N-filter is a Clabber Girl baking powder can.
Booster frame scratch-built using MDF for the frame, pencils for the hex bars, and very thin strips of polystyrene for the heat sink fins.
Tube connecting sync generator and gearbox is black rubber washing machine hose. The connector on the sync generator side is the spigot off a garden sprayer.
Ion arm rectangle is MDF spray-painted silver.
Bumper is scratch-built from polystyrene, balsa strips, and lots of wall spackling to smooth things out. |
