Here is my first pack i’ve built, sadly its been on my workbench for 3 years and now shes finished well about 98% anyways i still have to vacuum form the end caps to go on the canisters and finish my dry ice chamber but so far shes looking great IMO.

I’ve tested around with a new rust method i have been fiddling with so i figured id give it a go on here, it’s a mixture of cinnamon testors rust paint and some thinner for the paint i think it turned out pretty believable.

I wanted to go with a real grimy beat up look since allot of the art from the cartoon series had a real dark dirty dismal appearance to it i wanted to capture allot of that in this pack, yes i know its not a exactly accurate i wanted to take some custom liberty’s with this pack to make it as “real” looking as i could sort of a film stylized version.

It also features a series of flashing led’s around the handle and a dry ice chamber to vent a smoke from behind the black cooling pipe’s on the lower bridge of the pack using a old computer fan to push the smoke out in more intense bursts.

I would like to add a replica props sound chip at some point in time but ill be finishing my gb2 pack first.

What do you think ?

i gotta say… IMHO this is the best EGB pack that I’ve seen so far. I love the choices you have made as far as the rust,paint,wires,etc. I hope it doesn’t take you to long to post a video regarding the dye ice method. once again GREAT JOB!!!

Wow, thanks didn’t really think allot of people would like it with all the changes i made to it but im glad it was a crowd pleaser i should have the dry ice finished in a week or so ill post a video on it when i try it out.

I plan on running a smaller hose to a large syringe that would be concealed where i could readily have my dry ice in the container the one good squirt of the warm water and ill have people running for the hills from a total particle reversal.

I would like to add some more lights just to give it a little more function, but i don’t want it to be tacky or look like a Christmas tree as well. I was watching [Moby ghost](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/extreme-ghostbusters/moby-ghost) last night and saw the red blinking light on the packs and gun where is was about to overheat and explode and i thought about putting those in only problem i wouldn’t be able to do the gun due to the solid body construction (kind of wish i did vacuum form the gun body now) but back to the lights, i also wanted to add some ambient lighting maybe under the boxes just to give a glow and maybe bring more detail to the pack itself, any suggestions?

I’ve never even seen an episode of EGB and this looks amazing. I probably wouldn’t walk into a bank or subway with it on though. :mrgreen:

Never saw an episode of EGB either. But that pack kicks some serious ass. I particularly love the weathering and the little details and parts, really helps to sell i as a real piece of machinery. Oh and light it up! 😃

I usually roll my eyes at anything related to EGB design, but that thing is absolutely amazing. Positively astonishing!

Thanks again for the kind words everyone i would like to make a trap to go with it as well but i guess this will have to do for now there all WIP of course .

For those who dont know what this is maybe this might ring a bell (has anyone even made one of these before? )

And what can i say but its a start this will have the same treatment and effect of realism added as the pack, i think its time a certian “scientist” becomes real more or less.

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Since you asked for feedback and presumably aren’t just compliment-fishing, the one thing I’d say is that less is more when it comes to warning labels and stickers. You kind of went a tad overboard (especially with the radioactive stickers and black+red circuit diagrams), and as a result there isn’t a whole lot of logic to their placement.

Other than that though, obviously the best EGB pack ever.

NOBODY ASKED YOU

Just kidding, thanks for the honesty. I was seriously thinking about taking off the red diagram sticker off that’s between the two boxes and perhaps do something a little more custom there a replacing the triangular rad sticker on the top corner above the boxes but i don’t know much about designing labels nor do i have a program to make them on my computer so i pretty much works with what i could find and i didn’t really like how the other stickers looked on the pack ill swap em out if i find something more suited to the placement, any suggestions?
