Well, I've been out of the proton pack building scheme of things for a while now. I picked up a Studios Creations Vac shell a few years ago and I could never get much progress done on it. I decided to scrap those plans and went with a Spirit pack. Here's a few progress pictures along with the final result. I still need to work on the electronics and I have a friend 3D printing me a 80% scale Neutrino Wand.
Here it is the day I purchased it. Not bad honestly.
New Motherboard and mounted to an alice pack frame.
Nfilter Hot Glue Welds and Paint
All Stripped down and ready for some work!
Speaker hold had to be filled... This was problably the hardest part of the build, Lots of Spot Putty and filler primer.
Crank Knob and Ion Arm Resister kit from gbmichael http://www.gbfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=44637 I highly recommend these!
Original Crank Knob Removed and gaping hole is filled
Krylon Flat Black Final Coat
Graphite Dusting with Krylon Flat Clear coat
Did some weathering and then put everything back together... I can't recommend the Fincher Technolgies GB1 Ribbon Cable enough, Really sets the pack off!
Remounted back to the mother board and alice pack frame with a nice dusting of Fullers Earth.
Lenses from the local Dollar Tree ( Some Folders)
I'm extremely happy with how this turned out. Up next is electronics, sounds, and the new 3D thrower! If anyone has any questions on any techniques, just ask!
