Looking good! I like the black you’ve used, nice satin finish 🙂

A few pointers though…

The [N-filter](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/n-filter) weld looks good but could use a sanding to make it more subtle.

There shouldn’t be a weld between the [ion arm](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-welded-ion-arm) and shell.

The base of the PPD should line up with the base of the EDA box, not protrude it.

As for the angle of the [Legris](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/legris) elbow, some of the packs had the piece slightly swiveled; it’s nothing to worry about.

Like Nick said, the PPD pretty much sits flush with the bottom of the [Attenuator](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/attenuator); here it can be seen on the Spengler Hero Pack.

What I think DMC is saying is that the [legris](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/legris) elbow position is “accurate” in both positions as some were straight and some were at an angle. He has shown you the correct position for the PPD too. Oh and its HGA mate not HGH 🙂

for the holes on the [N-filter](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/n-filter) i found a really cool template here…

> Here is a template for drilling evenly spaced holes for your N-Filter. I posted this in my pack build awhile ago and it seemed to be popular, so I wanted to make it easier to find. If you’re building a plastic N-filter, I link to the tubing I used...

thank you very much for the great work, Namssorg !!!

the HGA has two holes now 🙂

for the elbow and the clippard.

thats for today… i had very little time to do more on the pack…

and i found cool led reflector for the cyclotronlights on [http://www.conrad.de](http://www.conrad.de). the hole is a little bit too big.

i have to look how i can fill it and drill a new one, a smaller one…

its a packblaster with custom sounds. i have sampled and mixed the gb2 firering sound and the startup sound - for more accurate details…
