I was lucky enough to catch a deal on one of Vince Nordone's V330 shell and TC thrower kit combo about a year ago. While I waited for it to arrive I bought my GB fans electronics and various resin parts from Crix (aka Heavy Props on Ebay). I found a LC1 pack frame with shoulder straps but it needs the kidney pad and belt... I bought the blue battery, 15watt x2 amp and a nice 6 inch shielded speaker.
I went to the Army surplus and bought the reflector dishes and red lenses. Anyway my pack build will be slightly different in that I plan to use 2 speakers (one forward facing) and a plasma tube in the thrower. As I type this I am halfway through the electronics part of the build and have not attempted to solder in the plasma light as of yet... so that may not work out we shall see.
First I want to show the pretty V330 creations shell and integrated aluminum N-filter that arrived in the mail:
...then the resin parts set from Heavy Props (except the bumper) were attached ( screw through the back, dab of gorilla glue on the bottom of the part) I bought the set on Ebay:
the bumper was from an Ebay lot 2 years ago and it may be a Wiz part but not sure...
anyway I then wanted to primer the parts:
I added a bolt for gluing the split loom to the gear box:
next post will be a little about the thrower and my 3 inch speaker... you will either love it or hate it.
and then I wanted to primer the thrower

Dr Ray Stantz: Symmetrical book stacking. Just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947.
Dr. Peter Venkman: You're right, no human being would stack books like this.
