Hi Everyone Here are some photos of my first [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) which I finished building just over a year ago with a little help from my dad. One of the photos is a bit blury but it still looks good. It also has lights installed aswell. I would say its about 90 - 95% screen accurate, hope you agee. ![PA180001.JPG](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/2X/5/5a2d11cd7eed4eca42c8f66fce1eea54d80d2d0d.jpeg) ![PA180002.JPG](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/2X/5/5bd806a521890a585f0e6327fada4fc624a4217c.jpeg) ![PA180006.JPG](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/2X/5/5e5e2a465fae6af4b314ec84b789b9c627b10259.jpeg) ---

Very good Ant!! How much did it all cost to make and how difficult was it to do? I fancy building my own but not sure if I have the skills (and patience) to do it ☹ But premade ones are so expensive to buy and ship ☹ ---

I highly recommend having a go at building your own, even if you don’t think you have the skills… if there are any prop-building fans in your local area, it’s worth seeing if you can seek their assistance in building a Pack. It’s how I ended up with one. 🙂 ---

[quote=“EgonsGal”] Very good Ant!! How much did it all cost to make and how difficult was it to do? I fancy building my own but not sure if I have the skills (and patience) to do it ☹ But premade ones are so expensive to buy and ship : Firstly thanks for the comment about my pack, glad people like it. To answer your question, it cost me around about £300 pounds to build, and its made from mainly plastic sheets moulded to shape going by Stefan’s plans, the [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) is thin MDF and the part that the gun fits to is wood also. Some of the parts I got shipped over from Canada and the US and some parts I bought here in the UK such as the black hose and the coloured tubes. But I have to say that my dad did most of the work (although I did help to do it) but hes got more experience in building models then me. It took about a year to complete (thats because we didnt work on it all the time) and has pack lights and gun lights and I have recently installed my home made sound system which gives it that extra effect. I have seen fibreglass shells but it up to you and what you prefer to do. Hope that helps, any more questions just post on here ---

There’s one UK-based prop maker who sells Proton Gun kits, his name is nick-a-tron. There aren’t any UK-based sellers who make [Proton Pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) shells at the moment. Oh, and please don’t post all in caps. ---

That looks great - especially for how little it has cost. Nice job.
