Hey everyone. I’ve started a pack build. I’ve been wanting something to war to cons and I’m trying to get it done before Halloween. I decided to use Norm’s plans.

I’ve ordered a few resin parts from eBay. Resistors, shock mount,and [crank knob](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/crank-knob). I’ve never worked with resin before. What is the best way for attaching them to the pack? I think I would be alright gluing the resistors and crank knob, but I’m worried about knocking the shock mount off. ---

Great start but holy moly you have a lot of work to do by Halloween. I would drill a hole through the shock mount and attach it with a bolt. ---

I’m working on it as much as possible. Hopefully I can have it finished. I doubt I’ll have time to do any lights. I’m not sure yet. Another question. How much overlap is there between the powercell and the eda? The plans show a hole for wiring in the front of the eda but it looks like the powercell just sits beside it. ---

And on top of building the [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) I have to finish making custom pokeball candy buckets for Halloween, finish the [belt gizmo](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/calculator-circuit-board), and figure out how I’m going to attach my [leg hose](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/yellow-hose). ---

I’ve got a [leg hose connector](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/leg-hose-connector). I’m just undecided on how I’m going to attach it. Also, I found a cup dispenser on amazon for $7 as an add on item. It comes with a metal bracket. I’ll post pics of the bracket when I can. I’m on 12 hour shifts all weekend. Does anyone have dimensions of the dixie cup bracket? ---

Some more pics. I had planned on having it done before Halloween, but I sliced my thumb open last weekend. I haven’t put much work into it since then.

Looks like you will not hit that Halloween dead line. But keep at it, this thing took me 4 times as long as I thought.
