Finally my first pack build out of a vac formed shell!'

Here’s a vac formed shell that I got as a gift 5 years ago and after all this time I’m finally working on it. The shell came in three separate pieces which fit together quite nicely so I had no worries putting them together.

I was gonna go the rivet route to assemble the pieces but I ended up using a plastic bonder that worked like charm!!!


I used some plumbing filler putty to fill in the small cracks

You might want to use some Steelstick instead of plumbers putty. That stuff is made to stay somewhat flexible and may not harden after you paint it.

It actually is Steelstick, they had it in the plumbing section at Lowe’s. I used the stuff when I built my Ironman gauntlet it works wonders.
