Life Sized Spirit Pack MOD

Equipment Proton Packs
1

Hello! Don’t normally post anything but I’m just about finished with the Life Sized Spirit Pack '89 conversion. I’m terrible at step by step shots but I changed:

The Ribbon Cable & Clamps (Charlesworth Dynamics)

Elbows and Brass fittings

All resistors to resin (Heavy Props)

Hoses

Those were the basic changes. Then I started hacking it to pieces and reshaped the EDA box, Ion Arm, Cyclotron, HGA and the cosmetic plate area behind it with foam core. Then replaced the booster tube with a PVC one I made.

I used some spare resin parts that I had laying around:

Clippard on Pack

Bumper

N Filter

Shock Mount

Booster Ladder

(those I don’t know the origins of)

I decided not to use the stock Spirit thrower and go for a scratch built one. The box is made from foam core using Throwing Chickens resin shell as a reference. Then every knob is from the random resin part lot I’ve got. The only 2 things I used from the stock wand were the tip and hat lights. Mounted it on an Alice Frame using a piece of plywood as a motherboard.

I also tried my had at some super straps that are a little ugly but fit the part well! I’ve got to debunk some wand stuff before I can call it done I had rigged some static lights into it but something isn’t right and I haven’t had the time to pull it apart and look into it.

And a bonus side by side with my scratch '84

Wow, that looks awesome. I’d love to see more of yoir scratch built thrower, too! It’s an incredible finished product. Looking at it, I’d never think that started off its life as a Spirit pack. I tip my hat to you, sir.

That’s amazing! How sturdy does it feel overall with all the mods?

Turned out amazing! I’ve been sitting on my Life Size Spirit Pack, still boxed because I’ve been toying around with the HasLab, but my Spirit Pack was going to be my ‘84 project as well - thanks for sharing :heart_eyes:

Feels just as sturdy as the little version I did. Still iffy on the spirit v hook. Definitely gotta replace it.

Do you have a list of links to the bought parts? Particularly the brass fittings etc.
