Spengler28 GB1 Proton Pack-Thrower- NEW UPDATE-WEATHERING P3

[Spengler28]

Here after several months of work, my proton pack finished. I made ​​every effort to recreate as much detail as possible. The differences between the GB1 and GB2 pack can create serious headaches!

I would like to thank several members of GBfans, some for their exceptional quality parts and others for their valuable advice, particulary Filandrius, who guided me throughout my building!

So here’s the result, feel free to comment if I did forget something, you know that a pack is never completely finished!

Here’s the Pack:






















And the Thrower














With a little video of my light kit, sorry for the poor video quality, i have to fix a thing or 2 on my light kit but in general it look cool.

And the Happy Buster (the flightsuit and costume arnt mine, thx to Dan20Lancer to let me take some picture with his flight suit) I’m collecting various items for my costume, personnalized nametag, patch, elbow etc…

Very nice!

[Pdred1985]

Very nice! Is that a Madeinsocal6 Ribbon Cable?

[Quagmire9]

absolutely gorgeous well done bud!

[aj-quick]

Easily one of the most accurate packs ever made. You recreated details that I haven’t really ever seen done before!

[KagaSakai]

Bravo, my friend! Bravo!

[Pdred1985]

Did they use both the Square and Hex Clippards on top of the Ion Arm? I’m pretty sure I saw both during different scenes.

[JayStantz]

Wow!! I think this is absolutely perfectly accurate, or pretty damn close! GB-1 all the way! If you could travel back in time, you’d ■■■■ Dan Aykroyd in 1984. He’d think it was a hero pack.

Couple questions:

1. What is the origin of that N-filter? Metal, resin?

2. Whose shell? Or a scratch-build?

3. Whose gun-body is that built from?

4. What if any parts are metal?

Sorry for the questions. Did you do a build thread yet?

Congratulations on that gorgeous pack!!

[Spengler28]

Thanks for the good comments , i really really appreciate them!

@Pdred1985 : Is that a Madeinsocal6 Ribbon Cable?

Yeah my Ribbon is a Madeinsocal6 Cable, I managed to install it without too much damage, by soaking in hot water and keeping it warm with an heat gun.

@JayStantz :

1. What is the origin of that N-filter? Metal, resin?

My N-Filter is made with 2 straight PVC coupler and a cap. you can see it in my built thread there : Spengler28 Proton Pack - Pack Almost Done - Proton Packs - GBFans.com

2. Whose shell? Or a scratch-build?

My Shell was made By Dr. Caron, the The founder of “Montreal Ghostbusters”, he built pack for several years but no longer very active on the board, he sell them locally. His Master, His mold

3. Whose gun-body is that built from?

Throwing Chicken kick-ass gun kit! I only customized to make it more realistic a bit, i drilled the screw on the side disk to add some real ones, i drilled the heatsink and put the accurate screw by the inside of the gun box. Added some fake weld with mighty putty and hot glue, added the accurate screw in the gun ear etc etc

4. What if any parts are metal?

Hmmm except for the “hardware” (like the bellow, the ion end cap etc) everythings are from resin or pvc/abs, mdf and stuff like that, no aluminium

If you have any other question dont hesistae al answer with pleasure!

[Filandrius]

[parksdesign]

An absolute beauty, man. Great work.

[Spengler28]

thx for the comment, you dry rub transfer set add so much realism!

[Spengler28]

I decided to update my N-Filter.

After removing the strip of white plastic the rest is pretty easy, I liked the effect of white plastic but it was not accurate to ghostbusters 1. :sigh:





0.002 % more accurate woot LOL, Dont hesitate to tell me if I forget things or make mistakes, I tried to be the most accurate as possible, but I possibly forget some details

[Pdred1985]

Looks great man! Its a nice addition to your pack.

[BlkMesaHero]

Dude I have to admit it, it’s some really clean and good looking work. I like it. You did a really nice job.
