Hi All
Firstly I want to say thank you to anyone who has ever written about building a pack on here and all the aspects involved. Over the last few months I have done nothing but read these forums and compile so much information around every aspect of building a pack and I could not have done it without all who have come before me. It is because of the community here that I am able to build today so again Thank You
Also If you want to see how everything progresses in "real time" I want to encourage you to check out my Instagram account as it may be some time between Posts on here as I want to bring as much value as I can where I can... and I'm also tremendously slow when it comes to writing anything.
My account is: https://www.instagram.com/projectprotonpack
Now let's talk about my build... or should I say builds.
I want to preface this entire thread with I literally have Zero experience with anything regarding prop building. The closest thing I have to "build experience" would be a couple of Ikea Flat Packs!
Let's Begin....
The Scope:
To Build 2 complete proton packs
Pack 1: GB1 Hero Pack
Pack 2: GB2 Semi Hero
Pack 1: The GB1 Hero
With this pack it will most likely take the longest to build due to the fact that I am trying to aquire and assemble as many Vintage and screen Accurate parts avaliable so I can to keep in line, as close as possible, to a screen Accurate Replica. This means Aluminium Pack Parts, including a full aluminium wand, vintage greeblies... you get the Picture
Pack 2: GB2 Semi Hero
This was never my orgional plan. I considered making 2 GB1 packs but With so much information avalible and so many references avalible I changed my mind and I think for the better. This will be a Kit Build mostly with resin replica parts.
The Goal:
I want to ultimately produce a set of videos from start to finish exploring as many aspects as possible when it comes to building a pack. I really just want to make something I would love to have watched right now as I'm starting.
Again I appreciate your time in reading this and I want to update you all shortly with Parts lists for both builds.
