Looks great! Very clean and neat. But did you know youve added the hole for the hose on the wrong sync gen plate?
Thanks guys! Yes Nick I do found out yesterday! lol, it’s an easy fix though! Will get that sorted hopefully this weekend and complete the silver/black paint!
Your frame and crank knob look very nice sat proudly on the top, can’t wait for it all to be done!
I took the place for the hole on the sync gen plate off of another pack picture rather than the plans!!!
Serves me right! ![]()
Repair done, weather is not what I had hoped today so the pack is currently drying after the sanding and washing down and I will apply the first coat of primer on the repaired area, then hopefully squeeze in one coat of silver.
Gutted becuase my black paint didn’t turn up today so will see if I can add the black on Monday, provided the paint shows up. Looks like the main pack part should be done by next weekend though barring any disasters!
Fiberglassing done!
Filled and new hole made (Also wet in this pic after washing it down!)
Woo Hoo! First bit of paint…lots of silver stuff! I have gone for quite a dark silver, I’ll be honest only because I really liked the colour and I think it will look good when it chips away! ![]()
If only I had received my black today ![]()
These are taken after two shots I have added a third coat!
progress looks great mate it reminds me of when i did my pack
using sevvs shell
keep it up and you will have a cracking proton pack
have you done the thrower yet?
Cheers Matey! Nope not done a thrower yet, waiting for Nick’s new kit (Will be a while yet though I think) Was tempted by several other kits.
I could go with MMM’s and finish the whole build within the next month, but really wanna go with Nick again if I can hold out! lol ![]()
Sevv’s is a good shell to work with, had a few issues with bubbles as you can see above and there are a few areas that looked chipped, but the chips add to the whole used look. Pretty happy with it to be fair!
Small update! he he!
BIG problem today though, realised I drilled way to big a hole for the gun loom so have re-filled that sprayed it back up and re-drilled a hole that is small enough!
Just need to finish a few bits and bobs now. Fullers earth as turned up today also so will weather and finish it all off hopefully by the weekend!
good job keep goin, thats gonna be a nice pack!!!
yours is coming together very nicely as well. its a great feeling watching the pack come together and with every step gets better and better looking. sevv shell was a very good choice i like all the extras that come with it. enjoy the rest of your build.
Here’s the last update for a while as I am waiting for Nick’s new gun kit and for GBfans to release the light and sound stuff they are working on, but it is pretty much done and I am happy.
Just need to fuller’s earth it now and add carpeteria’s labels when they arrive.
Looks good I like your weathering job. I think u should try and redo the ribbon cable though looks kinda sloppy.for how good the rest of the pack looks that kinda takes away from it
Thanks, sharpies gotta love em! Lol.
I’ll be honest I really like the way the cable looks, I may change it in the future but for now really happy with it.
Some upgrades:
Carpeteria labels added, these things are very nice.
I also couldn’t help myself and mounted my dimensional fabs V Hook.
And before Cheex gets there…yes I know my wires going to the straights arn’t connected. I have ordered some new red tubing from Phish4dinner as the straights I have contain a small rod on the inside that the wire will not fit into very well. ![]()
It’s coming together. [I think anyway]
Looks tons better.
Thank you. I was a little worried about adjusting it incase it split worse. Thankfully it went ok.
Told ya u should redo it. Looks so much better. I just recently redid mine. Just waiting for my vhook before I post more pics.
Yep, Thank you. I shall ave a look when you post them up.
More upgrades, new tubing:
Finally finished my build, with my sounds installed:
SO here’s the finished wand:
And a few other shots
