There’s only one kit really if you ask me for Proton Gun lighting, Exoray’s. As for pack lights, you have a choice. Exoray also makes a set, as does a member by the name of JT94. There’s a few others as well… but Exoray’s is combinable with a sound kit he sells. What sort of help do you need with the Gun Box? ---

What you build the shell on largely depends on wether or not youre going to be using it as your pack or a master for a mold. A lot of people here make packs out of MDF that look great but they also mention it weighs a ton. I’d stay away from plywood, it’s even more heavy and harder to work with than MDF, it’s also way more expensive. I myself am using styrene for a master to make a mold off of. Styene packs are very nice, but on the same note are a bit more fragile. Ofcourse you could always fiberglass the inside of a styrene pack for extra stregnth. ---

I lucked out and had a chance to get the dry rub transfers for both guns i built. MDF is meduim density fiber board. but I’d use styrene for your gun, it will give you the most room for electronics. ---
