I finished my second build a couple of days ago. This time around I did not make any nubbie mistakes. All parts used on my pack are either bought from GB Fans shop or various members of this community. I’ve been slowly collecting parts for this build for a year now and I pleased with the results.
To start I used a mikenelson1982 shell. Over all a nice shell and he has the cheapest shell to buy at the time. A few minor grips with his shell was that there was not enough resin used on the lower rib walls. two of the ribs were cracked when I received my shell. mikenelson1982 gave me a discounted on a aluminum N filter, so I wasn’t to up set about it . Some minor sanding needed to be done hear and there. The shell does not lay down a 100% flat, there is a small gap between the shell and mother board but it isn’t notice able.
Since mikenelson1982 does not offer a mother board my cousin was able to cut me one for free at his work. He found a 3D model of a proton pack on line and used the mother board layer for the measurements which was instr-acted in AutoCad.
I used TC V3 gun kit and finished off with parts from irricanian. Sound kit is from Crix, the bumper was from Nick-o-tron, and just about ever thing else was bought from GB fans shop or from various members hear over the course of a year.
I used two nine volt batters; one for the light kits, and the other one for the amp. I used two AA battery for the sound kit. I used inclosed battery boxes with on/off switches. I did used Velcro on back of the boxes to attach to the rear of the mother board.
Let me know what you guys think. I still on the fence on weather or not to start painting some wear and tear on this proton pack. For some reason a clean new looking pack just doesn’t look right.
