I bought one of Alkaline's very first pack shell's over three years ago. During that time I have slowly collected parts to build this pack. About five years ago I built one from scratch. The majority of it was made out of wood and found parts, but as close to accurate as I could afford at the time. Picture of the Mark I below:
Anyhow, fast forward to earlier this year I met Kolten, the guy running the SLC chapter. His pack was awesome and inspired me to finally start piecing mine together. I'm hoping to get it done in time for a Halloween themed gallery show on October 18. I have been so busy working on it I forgot to start this thread.
Lots of parts from AJ. Need to put in another order this week.
The Ion Arm is all finished. Excited to have real resistors and an accurate cap.
For the entry of the loom on the middle of the pack, I used this putty to mount a washer to this PVC. I am pretty happy with the results.
Here it is mounted to the shell.
For the opposite end I mounted a wooden dowel to the body. It's a tight fight since it is split-less room, I will have to sand this down a bit.
More progress pics soon. I still need to track down a few parts this week. Anyone have any suggestions on a nice shock mount? I can make one out of washers, but I'd rather get something more accurate. Also coming up soon, I am working on my Throwing Chicken kit along with a light kit from Krix.
