Like most people who embark on this little journey, it’s been a dream of mine to have a proton pack since I was a kid. 20 years later I’m about to make that a reality!
There are obviously quite a few options that I could have chose such as buying a pre-built pack or a shell and assembling the parts but I’ve feel highly motivated by the challenge of building one from scratch.
Using Stefan’s plans I decided to do this build out of foam insulation to be vacuformed since it’s way too easy to break something made from foam. I’m sort of considering this build as a practice run with the plan of eventually building another pack out of wood into a fiberglass shell. With that being said, not everything on this build is going to be 100% accurate.
This has quickly turned into one of the best projects I’ve ever taken on and has been such a fun and frustrating adventure! I can’t wait to see how it looks when it’s completed. I’ll be uploading pics piece by piece as I go along.
This community is a trove of information so I welcome all comments, questions and criticisms.
Here she is. I hope you enjoy viewing this cause it’s been a great time building it!
