Ha! The silicone looks like slime with the bad dye mix. I was going to say that pack looked HEAVY, but if you are doing a cast, you want something solid. Looks good so far. Is that a resin Clippard? Are you doing 100% casting, or will you cut out smaller pieces and replace them for more realism? Just wondering…
Yeah the resin parts on the photo I got from Propfan. I was gonna scratch build those parts (except the clippard of course) but decided to just go to him as I want to finally move on to different props, ie, trap, PKE, etc…
Whenever I’m working with that orange silicone I also think that it looks like slime. More pics to come tonight.
It does look like it got slimed by a blue Class-5. Still a great mold, tho. 
New pics!!:
Bumper and booster frame courtesy of PropFan. Gonna re-do the PPD. One thing is missing which is the gun that I’m hoping to get finished next week.
Just for fun I chromed up the mock up wand (building the new one right now):
Nice pull from the mold, dude. Looking forward to seeing the re-done Nutrona Wand. I thought the first one was pretty damn cool; I’m sure the new one will look even better.

I had a question regarding 2 part molds and the pack.
Since I’m not very fond of the fiberglass process, I was wondering if (later on) I can make a 2 part silicone mold from my fiberglass shell. That way I can pour casting resin in the 2 part mold and not have to glass it…
Would that be possible?
just found these pics great post and i will go off these for detail thanks jimmy
Google “slush casting”
But, for something as large as the pack you will experience a pretty brittle slush casting that will be prone to shattering if a blunt force hit it…
Fiberglass is the best option, and honestly IMO the only way to do it…
Thanks for the info.
I think I saw a slush casted pack on ebay a couple times. Looked weird on the inside and I wondered how sturdy it was.
BTW, I’m ready to order one of your new light/sound kits.
Hey. Haven’t been on the board in forever, but i saw this and just wanted to say shockwave does a really good shell. I got one from him around november and it was really cool…little bondo and all the wires and tubes and it will look awesome…i took a break for the holidays, and i need to get some more stuff but when i start working on it again i’ll put up some pics…so yea..shockwave good job man.
Thanks man! Can’t wait to see what you’ve done with my 1.0 pack. 
I am very happy to say I will be one of the first recipients of Shockwave’s Proton Pack 1.5 . I will be sure to post a whole bunch of pictures, but I wanted to make sure Shockwave got full “props” (bad pun, sorry) for the large amount of work he’s done. Not only is he very skilled at prop building, he’s a nice guy who’s put up with a million dumb noob questions from me.
Seeing as how he has shown to have mastered the proton pack, I am looking forward to seeing his trap and pke meter projects, which I believe are what he plans to do next.
Salame’ !
