So about a month ago while working on my studio creations shell, which since of you have seen my thread, I decided I wanted to take my pack all the way and purchased the gbfans shell and motherboard. I've been spent gathering other parts from various sources. This site and its for sale forum, Amazon, etc.
What I really liked about the movie packs was that they were all different, they all had little touches that made them stand apart and have that have crafted touch. That's what I will be doing with my pack. It won't be accurate to a particular movie or pack. Instead I'm aiming to make it mine by going with individual favorite parts.
Well the motherboard arrived today and I decided it was time to begin.
Here we have the collected parts so far. A throwing chicken thrower kit, metal injector tubes, Vac tube, beam line and filler tube from Ejgunth87 and some resistors I found online.
Here we have the gbfans motherboard.
And here you see it attached to the ALICE frame. Just bolted it on using the bottom holes, marked through the top hope with a silver sharpie, checked it, marked again. Remove the frame and drill the hole. Started with a 1/8 bit and worked up to 1/4. Tapped it and put a 1 in spacer and some washers on each side of the spacers.
Put the straps back on and just couldn't resist wearing it did a second.
There we are the old MySpace pic.
That concludes today's post. It'll be a few weeks yet to the shell arrives but I'll be able to work on the thrower in the meantime. I've got a pre-order in for all the gbfans electronics and will be getting a metal ion arm and booster tube to go with all the nice stuff I have so far.
Just want to give a big thank you to everyone here for the inspiration, awesome stuff you guys sell to make it easier on us builders and to the people that have been answering my questions abs helping me along. Until next time.
