Just thought I’d share my completed pack.
Built using ridgid foam (pink/blue) and rosco foam coat.
Weight: 23 lbs including 8watt amp and 10 watt speaker. No electronics in yet. building that next.
less than a month to complete electronics (building my own with arduino)
That’s all foam?
That looks great!
foam and MDF
the bumper and misc peices are MDF. rest is foam for weight.

Thats unreal man. I’ve been thinking about making a foam pack for use as a lighter ‘stunt pack’, but didn’t think I could get it detailed enough. Just proved me wrong there. Freakin awesome.
Jeez, thats amazing!Especially for foam.
For being made out of foam, it looks great. How much does it weight?
I’m impressed! Plus- If you cut into it, it’s pink on the inside, just like a real person.
That really is a fantastic looking pack you’ve made up. Great job, man.
thanks. took a lot of work. I`d change a lot of things to increase smoothness of the parts. but this will have to do as I have many other projects I want to tackle…
23lbs total.
20lbs without the gun
~19lbs without amp/speaker
Foamtastic. Great job!
How does a foam pack weigh 23 pounds? Even with the hard coat, a bag of concrete only weighs about 10 pounds and you don’t need that much material. I’d expect this to weigh about 8 pounds, 15 at the most with batteries and extraneous parts.
unless my scale in the washroom is off (maybe it is), that’s the weight with everything on it (gun too). with all the pvc/ mdf accessories it adds up. I was hoping it would be much lighter as well.
I can’t believe that it’s foam! It looks too good! :crunch:
I’m extremelly impressed with how great it looks. The weight is disappointing, but that MDF is HEAVY. I bet if you’d built it on an aluminum motherboard it’d weight under 18 pounds.
Anyway, great work! That’s a fantastic Scratchbuild!

thats pretty amazing for foam! well done!
I just cant get over how great that pack looks for pink foam, damn good job, you should be proud to wear that pack!
If you just put the pack on the scale, it probably is wrong. Have you tried weighing yourself, then weighing yourself with the pack, and then subtracting the difference? I think bathroom scales don’t measure small weights very well. I’d be interested to know, because your figure does seem too high.
when I start putting in the electronics I’ll measure the components separately (gun/mdf board with alice pack/ upper and lower pack). should give a better indication.
Fantastic job.
