Wow… looks really great! :crunch:
ahh thanks for the crunch…guess i earned that ![]()
Great pack build. I need to find some heavy cardboard. Will this pack have lights and sound too?
Lights for sure
This looks fantastic, I’m envious.
thanks, the mother board is cut out and the whole thing has been resined, spot putty, and sanded so this weekend I will be painting. Then make an alice frame and wire the thing up. sooooo close ![]()
So i got the pack done for my Halloween in Vegas
here are some pics.
and this one you can see my little pack next to my friends pack that is made of foam
big shout out to ihavethepower for tons of advice

Awesome
thank you ![]()
You wouldn’t want to mess with the glue gun I have. That sucker is definitely dangerous, drunk or sober…
yeah you guys make a good point, no gluing or cutting while drunk lol
Damn. You have some skillz, girl. That bumper is especially impressive. What did you use for the scaled-down greeblies?
Anyway, nice work. ![]()
I was wondering that too
I’m surprised no one has made fiberglass shells of scaled down / kid sized packs.
Would be cool.
AWESOME!!! This is fantastic!! Well done!!
What is the little stuff is made from?
The 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, 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 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. ![]()
thanks i have friends who have made a bunch of packs and they walked me through it and gave me tons of advice
i really wanted it to look as good as it could
Wow. The pinup thing works. You’re my hero.
aww thank you. It was very fun
