If you used 1/16" sheet aluminum for the [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) it would be stronger, a little easier to work with and it would be in scale. ---

> [@Carpeteria](#): > > That frame is REALLY impressive - if you do end up remaking it, I hope you’ll have time to take photos of all of the steps. It looks fantastic. Thanks! I will be building my 3/4 scale pack in a few months and I’ll take more pictures of the steps then. What specifically did you want to see and I’ll make sure I put it in that thread. I can also answer any questions here in this one. > [@noslliT](#): > > If you used 1/16" sheet aluminum for the motherboard it would be stronger, a little easier to work with and it would be in scale. Awesome idea! and it was going to be where I headed, but while picking up some other things in the hobby store I picked up a sheet of aircraft plywood. It was super light, very sturdy, and easy to work with. I’ll post pictures of the catastrophe and the plywood replacement soon. I have been REALLY worried about weight with this pack because my children are both under 5 and I’m really trying to limit the weight while adding functionality like lights and sounds. ---

Also, here is a brief video of the GBFans pack light and sound kit. [http://kingperformance.tumblr.com/post/62142279501](http://kingperformance.tumblr.com/post/62142279501) ---

> [@KingPerformance](#): > > I had some issues, and I REALLY want to re-make this because it isn’t “perfect” but if I don’t keep going I’ll never get this pack done in time for my son’s birthday party. The fact of the matter is I am going to need time for the rest of the pack, I can always come back to this later after he already has the pack. > > I was having issues drilling holes straight. I kept all the patterns, measurements, etc and I will be re-building this A.L.I.C.E frame probably sometime in the November/December time frame. By that time I’ll have a jig setup for drilling the frame properly. > > ![image](http://24.media.tumblr.com/1bd56a6fa674d6c309431b814f5e5968/tumblr_mqgsffNifA1sy2qn5o1_1280.jpg) > > ![image](http://24.media.tumblr.com/dfbb3b699ead9c62bece4c81cf00259e/tumblr_mqgsffNifA1sy2qn5o2_1280.jpg) would you be interested in commissioning one of these alice frames for a half size pack? ---

I’m still working on this project. My kids have been enjoying the heck out of this and the little jump suits we put patches on. The battle (play) damage actually adds to the look of well used gear. Here is where it sits. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/f/3/f3f8774f1c967b56806f84da54459a1bec2d0672.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/e/1/e1700e0f1d5bf8105b69ec105c4becda9de7639e.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/7/17efb9c615caebeb407e98286b8ce7dec4d10f99.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/7/c/7c3aeee388c3d77d0b0d642de4f407c6d991eb75.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/3/03c5060ea30e71a4d72dfe974f85e413cb1d54e9.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/9/9/999c70c321a3f360dff5c1553ae5238c67a337e3.jpeg) I still need to fix the pack to [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) gap and re-do the brackets. The hoses, clamp/ribbon cable, make resistors, boost tube ladder, [v-hook](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/v-hook) for thrower, and a few other miscellaneous things need to be updated. But here it is so far! ---

What specifically did you want to see and I’ll make sure I put it in that thread. I can also answer any questions here in this one. Sorry - just seeing this now. Nothing specific - I’d just love to see your process in fabricating the frame. I’m working on a 3/4 pack now, and the frame is one of the trickiest parts.
