Not bad, not bad. But you may want to cut off the top terminal on the small resistor. Also, there shouldn’t be any welding on the bottom of the [ion arm](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-welded-ion-arm) where it meets with the EDA. Other than that, it’s a good start. ---

looking great so far! that paint on your [ion arm](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-welded-ion-arm) looks just like the texture on the screen used packs! also i love your weathering on the gun too. i’ll be keeping my eye on this build 🙂 ---

Hi, looks amazing .. i have 2 questions: 1-Did you glue or drilled the 2 side disks on the gun? 2-How does one secure the pvc tubes to the gun body? Thanks Sal ---

Thanks all for the comments.I will be putting lights in the gun soon.As far as securing the pvc tubes I used liquid nail and it works wonderful and sturdy.As far as the side disks,Yes I did drill them in.I try to drill most parts i can in just because it makes it that much sronger and less breakable. Thanks everyone for the feedback and I will be posting more pics tonight. 🆒 ---

Actually that depends on the pack, it varies between packs… [http://www.gbfans.com/images/equipment/reference/3/21.jpg](http://www.gbfans.com/images/equipment/reference/3/21.jpg) Anyway off to a nice start, and it looks to be coming together nicely… ---

ooo that looks nice! robs shells really do look great. also love the weathering on the [ion arm](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-welded-ion-arm) cap 🙂 only thing i will say is it looks to me like the [trigger box](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/trigger-box) needs to be angled back a bit. looks a little too upright. keep up the great work! 🙂 ---

So I want to start my pack this weekend and I am just wondering what the best way to do this is.Should I paint the parts and pack separately then put it together or put all the parts on then paint it all at once? ---

> [@Stay Puff 22](#): > > So I want to start my pack this weekend and I am just wondering what the best way to do this is.Should I paint the parts and pack separately then put it together or put all the parts on then paint it all at once? I personally painted everything separate then put it all together. If you are gluing things together (such as the [injector tubes](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-welded-injectors) onto the powercell), I say paint separate, glue, then spray one more time to make sure any of the glue you use will also be covered up. That’s how I would do it at least. ---
