Elite Proton Pack Plans
3 min read
Thomas Becker (ChapterMasterTu'shan) completed these plans in 2011 after new photos with high resolution were taken of a hero pack. Their purpose was to take care of some inconsistencies in earlier plans and to incorporate new discoveries.
These plans were done completely in CATIA v5r20 as individual parts built up into assemblies using previously available plans as a base then making changes where previous inconsistencies and new dimensional information, some of which that was not readily available previously, required their adjustment. What few unknown dimensions remained were determined through scaling in the program and comparison to dozens of reference photos.
These plans are some of the more accurate ones to date as most of the main dimensions come from a screen-used hero GB1 Proton Pack though it must be noted that variations in the original screen-used packs mean any plans can only be "nominal" in some areas. These areas will be pointed out in the plans where applicable.
Notable helpers include Matt Burkit, Jack Doud, Vinny Montenegro, and Chris Tillson.
There are errors in these plans; many have been addressed on the Community Forums but it's still a good idea to look them over first and compare them to the available reference materials, or PM the author with questions.
