[quote=“dronein7g”] Mike Nelson does full pack builds. I’m building one of his kits. Great stuff! I’d check him out too[/ Was going to ask how to contact him, but then realized he’s the guy at Karnivirous Creations that I’ve already been talking to and am thinking of going with. Thanks for the recommendation! ---

To my knowledge, he will try to work within your budget and find ways to lower the costs, but that will of course sacrifice some of the quality… You want a full on aluminum hero pack, however, you will spend a good $2500-3500… ---

I can only assume it’s because maybe he is working with a higher quality set of materials (?), but it’s quite a bit out of my price range. Thanks for the suggestion, though. No problem! A lot depends on the type of build you want, how accurate you want it and any potential extras (TVG modes, E-cig Vent etc). Hopefully you’ll get sorted somehow [emoji4] ---

After I told him that was out of my range, he said he does a “semi-hero” one for less. Decisions, decisions … right now I’m deciding between him and Karnivorous Creations (the only 2 who have responded to my emails thus far … oh, and the guy I dare not mention here. 😉 ). It’s looking like it’ll probably be Karnivorous simply due to his ability to start and finish sooner. ---

The Karnivorus stuff looks nice, never had any experience with his stuff though. Nickatron has been doing packs for years and his are super authentic looking. He’s got a full workshop and everything, his full time job as far as I know. He’s probably built more packs and shells than anyone else. He posted about a month ago that he has another build slot available. Check out his page: > **[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/NickatronProps/)** Like others have said, the wait time is just what it is. Some people take a year or longer to finish their personal builds. ---

Some people take a year or longer to finish their personal builds. I actually e-mailed Nickatron early in the week and have yet to hear back from them. Because of that, I was kind of under the impression that they weren’t an option. ---

Hopefully this turns out well! Ah OK cool. At least you’ve got sorted man. Hope you’re happy with your pack when it arrives and really happy you managed to get sorted somewhere ---

My pack is from benofkent props. He’s sells packs for £1000 (about $1600) but the waiting list is long. If you’re willing to build it. He does sell kits and he’ll do some of the hard stuff for you if you don’t have all the tools. ---

Hahaha isn’t it just the best… Wait scratch that. Isn’t it the second best feeling? The best is seeing your pack for the first time and strapping it on. Be sure to show that thing off to us once you get it ---
