My bargain basement proton pack

Ok it took a while to get this up here and at this time its only 1 pick of it and not a very good one at all lol. But its better than nothing I guess. When I say bargain basement, I mean it. This pack it made out of recycled (trash or things that were heading that way) goods. The only thing that was bought for it was the paint and it was the cheap stuff. I had very little time and almost no cash what so ever so put a costume together by Halloween and I had never made anything out of nothing before. So this was a learning experience to say the least. I know its not to spec, I did what I could with what I had lol. It looks ok, it looks a heck of a lot better with the rest of the costume but those pics have vanished and I am still looking for them (when they are found I will post them). Anyhow its no were near as good as Bradester’s Dollar store pack (great craftsmen he is), but seeing as I made it out of junk and hot glue, and barely any time, I don’t think it turned out bad. I am sorry this took so long to get up and as soon as I can I will get the better pics up but here it is anyhow.

P.S. Yeah I didn’t have time to make a Ribbon Cable and didn’t have cash at time to buy one. Also it needs a bit of a re-paint due to minor repairs that had to be done after a crazy party lol

Hey, I like it. Not bad for a quick throw together from random parts. I also recommend the paper proton back in case you are really short on time, but this is way better when it comes to just ingenuity and part scavenging. Pretty good for a little to no dollar budget!

thanks bud. I really wanted to something better but with no time or cash I didn’t have much of a choice lol. Its better than a blow up pack lol. It looks a lot better when I have the rest of the costume with it , I got the flight suit and boots and such what. A buddy helped me out with all that. But thanks again man. I will be trying to start a good build now that more time is available and when money becomes more plentiful.

I can tell it’s a proton pack: You’ve passed! Not bad looking at all!

Very good! I like it!

You have my vote. Looks a heck of a lot better than my first “fast pack”

Ya I don’t think anybody would question what it is looking at it, which passes my “first pack” bench test!

Grats on your pack! Just having something that doesn’t inflate on your back in time for the party is awsome!
