I’ve been working on this for a while now and this is as far as I have gotten. Please let me know what you all think because of life and working on this trying to get it done. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/9/d/9de4c8d5bac2fd0b06c917026d6a293cdfe74b55.jpeg) Using a bean can for the N Filter because is was only like .125 of an inch off of diameter. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/c/0cbaeff5859c0de71c1745eb8b01f1bc05262028.jpeg) Better Photo ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/7/5/75124a59bba8edf81f361e6e9f57db1fa758a36e.jpeg) Cut the [bumper](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bumper) out of a 2 x 8 which was perfect. Need to mill out the sides. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/6/a6ecc8a91cb732e37465b03e1d5c209e9dc4d5da.jpeg) I was able to create the aluminum hanger out of scrap I got from work and using a hack saw. A mill would be nice to have. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/8/b/8b43448e94a6068807e119a77735743fed032065.jpeg) Cut the bumper center out and dowel pined them in with super glue. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/5/0/50cdf5145d6ba43b4f6d3c07fafde08176fa39a1.jpeg) Holes are not suppose to be there. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/b/9/b966003165e992181d212e2bcff41db6d48c0c51.jpeg) [Power cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) lights are installed. Need to test them out to see how they look. ---

Not too sure how much it weighs. But you will know you have a pack on that’s for sure. Thanks for the reply’s. I’m hopefully will have it finished soon. ---

Always great to see someone building a pack out of wood. This looks fantastic, are you building it as a shell or will individual pieces be removable for easy access to lights? ---

Ecto-3A I’ve built it as individual piece’s to be able to remove and have access to everything. The [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron) basically stacks up from MDF board. the0x I used 1/2 in. and 3/4 in. MDF board for the cyclotron; and I used 3/16 in. think basswood I got from hobby lobby for pretty much everything else. I assembled with screws and used 3/8 x 3/8 in. or 1/2 x 1/2 in square rods for the corners of the boxes. Some of the dimension’s are not exact but I did the best I could with what I had. ---

I think its a decent replica for 8 dollars or so. ---

Here is my build painted. Let me know what you all think so far. I used Rust-Oleum Painters touch 2x ultra cover paint + primer flat black. Only 1 coat.
