You wouldn’t want to mess with the glue gun I have. That sucker is definitely dangerous, drunk or sober…

Damn. You have some skillz, girl. That [bumper](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bumper) is especially impressive. What did you use for the scaled-down greeblies?

Anyway, nice work. 🙂

I’m surprised no one has made fiberglass shells of scaled down / kid sized packs.

Would be cool.

What is the little stuff is made from?

The [crank knob](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/crank-knob) is a pop cap with spot putty for the handle, painted.

The black tubing is the bendy bits of straws painted black and slid over a smaller wire.

The other wires are just white and coloured with a sharpie to be blue, red, yellow

Ribbon wire clamp is metal from a pop can, some craft foam on the edges that was coloured black with a sharpie.

One of my friends makes shock mounts on his lathe and he eyeballed me a small one (apparently it is only .2mm off) He was very impressed with himself 🙂

Clipper valve is resin

Then just bits of PVC pipe etc.

Hope I’m answering the right question here, i am kinda new to this stuff 🙂

You DID answer the right question, exactly what I wanted to know. 🙂

Scaled-down props are always fascinating, because you HAVE to get creative, you know? Sometime smaller versions of the parts used exist, but it isn’t always the case. That’s why I was congratulating you on your [bumper](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bumper), because that’s one tricky part to scratch-build.

Anyway you really went all-out for the small details, and that’s why your pack looks great (the mini [ribbon cable clamp](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/ribbon-cable-clamp) with the craft foam impresses me a lot for some reason :P)

It’s kind of a surprise that you’re new at this stuff, because it doesn’t show. 😉
