My Pepakura Proton Pack Build **PACK DONE!** pictures on pg8

My build of Proton Chargers Pepakura Proton Pack design. If you want to do the same thing start here -

These two pieces have taken me three days. I’m doing a little bit to each part as I have time.

looking awesome so far!

Last night and today was PPDBOX1. I’m glad it’s over…

Thank God for masking tape or I would be covered in Super Glue.

DONE! (Actually, I will need to go back and tighten up some parts in the morning but I’m DONE looking at this part for awhile…)

Looking good! I just LOVE your choise of scissors man! I never knew that Fiskars were available abroad..

Coming along nicely.

Thanks guys! Slow and steady…

I found them at Joann’s Fabrics, they were the most inexpensive of the nice scissors they had. So far they cut nicely.

Sunday and today was the CRANKGEN -

This pile of foil backed card stock will become a box… Even if it kills me.

BOX!

Yes, I chased the dog around the house while making a NOM-NOM-NOM sound… Who are you to judge me?

I need to tighten up a tab on the left.

One step closer…

Corner Plate DONE!

So far my new pack fits into our china cabinet…

Gun mount and power cell finished!

Power Cell -

Top part is DONE!

Spent yesterday and ALL of today on the Cosmetic Plating and it was going great… Until I put the last three panels together and the whole deal warped. I tried going back and seeing if I could adjust the problem. Rip. Rip. Tear. TRASH!

Instead of punching a hole in my wall and possibly waking the baby I think I will drink some Fat Tire Winter Ale until I no longer care…

Try #2 in the morning.

Try #2 = GREAT SUCCESS! (I’ll spare you the Borat thumbs up image. We have all seen it. And now you see it in your mind as you read this… Sorry about that.)

**COSMETIC PLATING **

So this was the point that the last one started warping and I did not notice it until I was pretty much done. This time I built the part up as much as I could until I got to the point that I could add the curved pieces. I got those tagged in nice and even. Then as I built the rest I made adjustments as I went along to keep the whole part laying flat.

DONE!

Next up the spacer…

Nice!

Its good to see all went well. The spacer is easy once you get started.

My only advise is trace out those alignment marks like PC did in his thread.

Oh and your through MOST of the tricky stuff. I say most because the cyclotron is.. fun. :slight_smile:

Everything looks really clean so far. Keep it up!

Yeah, I’m looking forward to the Cyclotron… Thanks for the support! I’ll be pleased if my build comes out half as well as yours man.

Last night and today was spent making the Spacer.

NOW! Now, it starts to look like a pack.

Next up the Cyclotron

that is just too beautiful for words. thank you for giving this a shot, and doing it in spades!

Thanks man! I’m really having a good time making it! I hope to make ya proud.

Your doing that and then some! That spacer looks great!

Nice!

Awesome job so far.

Thanks guys! More to come, I just primted off the Cyclotron.
