Group build thread by The Palm Coast Ghostbusters.. our project for D*Con PKE Surge 2010
3 Full size RGB Packs
June 25th - Official build start date
After months of studying DiC plans (especially those included in the RGB box set), planning, scaling, and 3D modeling/ drafting.. I finally finished the templates for the RGB packs just in time for our first group build weekend. (Note-No dims/plans/templates will be given out) This build involves myself (ThePinkGhostbuster), Scott (Speedmonkey80), and
Nick (Mr. Spider)
I organized/designed the pack into various sections to make the building process easier.
Pack sections: Motherboard, bottom spacer, top spacer, cyclotron, gun box, yellow tube, booster box, and ion arm
Wood of choice: MDF, with the occasional use of 1/8" hard balsa, and 1/4" poplar where needed
Tools: Scroll saw, jigsaw, dremel, belt sander, hand sander, oscillating spindle sander, drill
Here are some teaser pics of the construction so far...
Myself doing some cutting for the spacer.
Nick fine sanding one of the boxes.
Construction shot of the spacer and cyclotron.
Nick working on his pack.
A shot of the spacers & motherboard
Pouring a rubber mold of the guns main switch.
Rubber mold finished
Pouring the first cast
A shot of the yellow tube box.
Booster tube box gluing, with a shot a few of the cosmetic pieces.
Some of the many parts that will be on the pack.
Scott modeling his new suit.
More pics to come
On a side note.. after DragonCon, we plan on doing casts of different parts of the pack (possible even gun kits).. but at this time we are focusing out finishing these 3.
