So, I don't know if anybody had this idea before. I tried to find a similar topic in the forum, but nothing came up.
Obviously, everybody here either has a Proton Pack or wants to make one. Now, with GBFANS shop, this idea might work even better.
What I thought of was...what if one of the great prop builders who already went through the process of building a Proton Pack and had great success, hosted a 4(???) day workshop build? If it works, it could be a workshop held once a year, and it would be ideal for newbies or members who haven't built their own packs yet. The veteran prop builder would go through an entire build with a (limited) number of people. It would be a great way to meet other GBFANS and build the pack together, helping each other out.
The parts could be bought at the GBFANS shop (I don't know if the shop has ALL the parts), and sent to wherever the event would take place. Also, the veteran prop builder would have to be approved by the community's moderators/founders as an honest and reliable person. Maybe someone they have known for a while.
I would imagine that if the workshop was held during the summer, it would be easier to go to for some people. If there was a group that flew in, they would stay at the same hotel, which would probably be cheaper. One of the challenges would be finding a space, or real workshop, to rent.
Anyway, it was just an idea. As a newbie, it would be something that would really interest me. But I'll wait on the community's veterans comments to say if it's something that could work, or if I'm way over my head here.
