Hey guys, I posted my fiberglass shell progress on [Proptopia](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/fans/websites/proptopia) but wanted to post here too if no one minds. Any input would be great. Wood pack ready for molding (before I redid the NFilter to make it more accurate): Poured the rebound-25 over the master: Plasti-paste support shell (later I made a bondo support shell from Sean’s plans): [http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/1/8/612756/DSC01728.JPG](http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/1/8/612756/DSC01728.JPG) Silicone mold: More Silicone: Fiberglass Shell: Inside of shell: Can’t thank Sean and AJ quick enough… ---

Thanks! Appreciate it. I was starting to doubt my skills a bit after seeing these styrene packs. 😃 I like the rough look though… ---

Forgot about this thread I posted and noticed I hadn’t posted many pics of the construction processes. ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/lizreitz/DSC01603.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/lizreitz/DSC01579.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/lizreitz/DSC01585.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/lizreitz/DSC01610.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/lizreitz/DSC01574.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/lizreitz/DSC01575.jpg) ^^ I eventually used a pringles can instead of the pipe. ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/lizreitz/DSC01583.jpg) [![image](http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/566/dsc01619sj6.jpg)](http://imageshack.us) ^^ Some guns I made for my kids. 🙂 Man that process was fun.

Thanks guys. It’s actually already completed. I was just going thru older photos and decided to post them on this thread. I’m working on version 1.5 of the pack which is making the curve between the [power cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell), and replacing the power cell and gear box fins with 1/8" wood as opposed to the 1/4" that I used. ---

The current state of the wood pack that I will remold next week. It’s been thru hell and back as you might tell. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/5/f/5feb3640a4fb003597e5779c1bc19b39f570b7a4.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/4/c48dd44e08758bb25e6172ccfe8dd7d7a9d6ccdd.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/f/5/f551720df552b3d5afe40a3334fc8bddc05bc9c6.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/6/7/67c30d46750e642ae59fb530f8ec555cc49e5f78.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/e/c/ece969a20edd7cdb3911900bc8f1cff771edf35f.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/3/6/3619a9e3c5f97b65f235a25b0965efc625f9d970.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/2/e/2e883409064aa37bd7474a985cb424012a2f78cf.jpeg) ^ ^ Regarding the last pic, I actually added the curve between the [power cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) as it didn’t have one before. I was wondering if the curve is a difference between the GB1 and GB2 packs at all? Just wondering as I know some builders don’t add it. Can’t wait to get this remolded though. ---

Shockwave, Where did you buy the silicone material from and what is the name of it? I’ll be making a mold myself in the up coming months and haven’t been able to locate the silicone material yet. ---

Thanks man. Just demolded the wood pack from the support shell and that was a real b\*tch due to the booster. ---

I can see how that would be a pain. Still , IMO, it helps make the shell. You just don’t see a lot of molded shells with the booster as part of the mold. Also, that wand is BADASS. You are skilled, sir. (Hats Off) [Next page](https://forum.gbfans.com/t/pics-of-my-pack-mold-update-1-2-07-w-a-question/2814.md?page=2)
