Did you cut out the part of the motherboard that shows underneath the gun box? As far as I know, that's the only part of the motherboard that is seen from the front of the pack.

Here is a picture of tullybuster's mobo. I am not sure what you are referring too, but we pretty much just placed the shell on the metal and traced it out. Could you clarify a little more?

Look at the final pictures of the motherboard. In the screen-used pack picture, see the black part of the mobo? That's the section I'm referring to. Compare the picture under that one too.

I am assuming you are refering to this picture, I see blue from where they sprayed a lubricant when they cut the mobo. so i am still confused. Can you upload a picture with the area circled that your referring to? thanks

blackeyespecialist88 is referring to this section:

ok, i understand where you talking about. I just traced around the shell and cut the motherboard to fit the shell. So i hope that helps. I will upload some more pictures in the morning to show what i am talking about.

Yeah, the motherboard has it's own unique shape. It's not a match to the shape of the shell.

Whoops.

Sorry to point that out man, but it looks like you put a lot of work into that pack. If it were me, id want to know.

ok, i fixed my issue, Unfortunately Aluminum jumped in price, which is good if your turning in cans, but bad if you want to buy some.



And after some fine trimming, I painted it!




Fits pretty good!

And so I afterwords i drilled my holes for my speaker, and I was just going to give my motherboard a quick touch up of paint. And for some reason it gave my motherboard a wrinkle look. No idea why. I used the same can of paint as the first coat, it just up and wrinkled on me. So now i am stripping the paint off it. to try again. sigh.



hopefully i can get this done quickly and get the Alice frame attached. I am currently waiting on my thrower from CPU64. But it should hopefully be done by November

And thanks blackeyespecialist88. I dont know why i thought i cut that off. I am seriously scratching my head on thatone.

Easy mistake to make. I honestly didn't really notice that there's a part of the mobo showing until after months of research haha. For me, I think the shell itself looks too narrow, so the mobo showing makes it look that much more "industrial".

I had the same problem, i never really looked i guess and assumed the black part was part of the background.

ok, time to dust this thread off, I am in the final process of completing my pack. I was waiting for an aluminum thrower from CPU64, but due to delays on his end I had to come up with a temporary thrower so I could enjoy my pack. A quick trip to Good will and i found infrared "laser"tag guns and receivers. Then inspiration hit me! I could do the "Neutrona Pistol that Winston has in the comics. 10 dollars later i was walking out with my new "thrower" and a spare in case i messed up.

so after a little modifying..




I was able to get this done by daisho con last November!


Then last February, I got the GBfans sound chip, and after a temporary install in the room (and setting off the smoke detector soldering, (Hey, how was i supposed to know the windows didn't open?)) I had lights and sound in my pack!






Well then the worst possible scenario happened. CPU64 messaged me that my thrower was ready 2 days after I lost my full time job. I kindly thanked him for making it, but i had to pass it up. He was very kind and told me not to worry about it!

But that left me in a pickle, what to do about a thrower..Lucking i got the prep files from Proton Charging before he discontinued circulating them. So i decided to have a crack at it! With some MAJOR MAJOR help from Alan Hawkins, I finally had my thrower body! Unfortunately for me, I put off working on it further until i realized i had a major electrical issue with my temp thrower and i only had little more than a week before Wizard World.. (turns out one of the connections i soldered came lose in the tight space in the pistol. )

So began the frantic assembling of the thrower..





After the first night, i had most everything drilled that i needed to to place my parts on the body.. Pretty good for a nights work

I dont have any pictures of it, but i spent the next 3 days making all the parts i didn't have for the thrower. the rear cylinder, the palm rest, and gun ears.

When i was working on the front and rear grip poles, I realized i had to come up with a sneaky way to attach them.. after some deliberations, I decided on bolting them through the gun body. Which took me longer than it should but oh well.

Then after chatting with Alan, (thanks again man!) I realized i had missed a step and didn't bondo the entire body to it out. I was able to bondo the side with the disks and the top (luckily hiding the head of the bolt.)





Drilling the holes for the bolts for the bottom plate and then drilling the holes in the body should be a quick and easy job, however its a pain in the posterior if you don't have the right size drill bits. so this job took me an hour longer than it should have.











sorry for the blurriness, my iphone didnt want to focus on my thrower, but the rocks behind it. I will upload better pictures tomorrow in the daylight and after i have installed the electronics..
