Ok, I found this wonderful site and message board through a few short minutes of looking. It seems like my best chance at getting started with what I want to do. And that is, make an accurate Proton Pack! Everyone here seems to have some knowledge, and I would be remiss if I were to say I had any idea where to begin.
With all the blueprints and whatnot on this site, my problem is this. What all do I need, however long a list, to make an accurate, quality proton pack. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
At first, you need to make up your mind on a few things. 1. How accurate you want it to be? 2. How expensive you want it to be? 3. How fast you want to have it? You cannot have accurate pack, cheaply by tomorrow.
If you intend to build it from the scratch, you might need to sacrifice some accuracy. If, on the other hand you are willing to put some money into it, I’ll recommend you get in line for one of Exoray’s pack shells, as for 400$ you’ll get a pack that’s well worth your money. As for other stuff, there are others that can help, Irraccanian, Namebrand, Nick-a-Tron to name a few.
All in all, be prepared to pay up to a thousand bucks for a decent pack. As for an ACCURATE pack, there is none. All packs in both movies were, to some extent, different from each other.
But I am not intending to deter you from starting, far from it. There are great packs made for dollar store items, as well as some budget packs, as Gareee has shown us. They all look GREAT, when finished. It just goes to show that you can archieve astonishing results for a few dollars less…
What ever you decide to do, make it from scratch, or buy parts from others, take your time, and search this forum thoroughly. Not only will you find great tips on the way, but you might find ways to ease your wallet too..
Good luck on your journey, and keep us posted.
Cheers, Ville
