So here is my first attempt at a pack. It is based off of GB2. Its not complete yet, I still havent added the light or sound kits. I’ve been waiting for them to come in the mail. Let me know what you think, feedback would be much appreciated. ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton) Pack\_DSC\_0237.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton) Pack\_DSC\_0236.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton) Pack\_DSC\_0233.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton) Pack\_DSC\_0234.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton) Pack\_DSC\_0231.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton) Pack\_DSC\_0229.jpg) ---

> [@CPU64](#): > > red tube up front, turn it downwards. Then its thumbs up! Technically, the pack Dan uses in the sedgwick scenes had the banjo on the [trigger tip](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/trigger-tip) installed upside down. So if he spins the banjo on the gun ear 180 degrees, it will look like that pack. ![image](http://raccoonrocket.com/gb/reference/GB-HD-Ref-18.jpg) ---

I would go off on a limb here and say that probably wasn’t meant to be. The banjos seem to be loose enough that they move around with moving the gun. It moves around throughout the [slimer](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/slimer) scene.. But yeah, technically, it is screen accurate 🙂 Thumbs up! ---

One suggestion if I may - If the SMC elbows aren’t glued in place, I think you’ll find it rewarding to remove them, cut off the orange tips, mask the brass threads and base and then spray them with a gray primer. They will look a lot more authentic. ---

Thanks for all the advice, I would like more on how to improve my pack if anyone has more suggestions it would be much appreciated. ---

So, I didn’t like the way the paint turned out on my pack. I took it apart and sanded and repainted it. I think it looks much better. ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton) Pack\_DSC\_0042.jpg) ![image]([http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy304/CarlHallstrom/Proton%20Pack/DSC\_0041.jpg](http://i802.photobucket.com/albums/yy304/CarlHallstrom/Proton%20Pack/DSC_0041.jpg) )![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton) Pack\_DSC\_0040.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton) Pack\_DSC\_0039.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/CarlHallstrom/Proton) Pack\_DSC\_0038.jpg) ---

Hell yeah it looks a lot better. Nice job. That must have sucked taking it all apart and sanding the whole thing down though . . . ---
