I am an austrian GB Fan and I plan to build my own proton pack as soon as I have enough time to do so.
There is a really good tutorial on how to fiberglass the pack (mold making and so on).
I’ve heard that fiberglass tends to warp in the sun. Is that true?
I also have a question on the alice pack:
Last week I was on a militaria flee market here in austria and a guy there sold many alice packs but the are not lined straight (don’t know how to describe it) at the bottom.
Are the “straight” ones still avaiable? Is there a difference in size between alice packs or is ther only ONE?
Also, the seemed to bee quite small…I NEVER saw a 1:1 GB Proton Pack in person so I don’t really know the dimensions but as I looked at these bunch of alice packs on the flee market…I said “wow the packs must me pretty small” to myself. Well perhaps only my imagination.
I was unsure if there are different sizes of the alice frames and the ones I saw on that flee market were ALL colored in a military green tone, no black ones at all and they SEEM to be kind of small.
I also think that the ones I saw do NOT have these attachments and wholes in the areas that I marked with a red circle.
Perhaps the ones I saw were not ALICE frames but…something uselesse different stuff so…I sure have to order a frame online (hard to find ANYTHING here in austria).
