I know what I’m doing with my N-Filter now. Thanks for the inspiration.
Did you n-filter come unattached, Steve, or did you cut if off yourself? I wish I had that kind of room to work on my filter. 
I thought the same thing. Having someone hold my pack up while I messed with it was annoying…
looks AMAZING! can’t wait to put some tampons in my N-Filter!!!
Some asked me how my N-Filter is made. I mentioned it in my construction thread (Spengler28 Proton Pack - Pack Almost Done - Proton Packs - GBFans.com) but here’s a summary.
My N-Filter is made ??of 2 PVC coupler and a PVC cap, the 3 measures 2.75 "OD. I bought at a hardware store (Canadian Tire), but they must sell them in all good hardware stores in the plumbing section . Firstly I cut one of the couplers to fit perfectly on my cyclotron. I filled the gap with some mighty putty that i sanded.
Second, I cut the second coupler to the correct length and I glued the 3 parts together. Then we mark the locations for the holes and start drilling. This part is the longest, I start with a tiny bit and I pierce through with bit bigger and bigger, until 1 / 2 ".
And yeah my N-Filter is full removable, it fixed to the cyclotron with a 1/4 bolt and another fixed to the shell with another 1/4 bolt
(My cyclotron arnt molded on the shell)
Voila, its more “long” to do than hard
Hand made, removable N-filter FTW. 
Oh and thanks for the pic of the steel wool, I’m sure it’ll come in handy. 
I believe that’s the same stuff I used, lol. Walmart special?
Simply gorgeous! Very interesting take on the N-Filter; I might have to try that…
What are supposed to be, some kind of cosmonaut??
Badass pack. :nicejobyoudid: :nicejobyoudid: :nicejobyoudid:
No, im an exterminator. Someone saw a cockroach up on twelve. 
That’s gotta be some cockroach…
Wow, this is ridiculously good. As a newb, I don’t think I’ve earned the privilege to hand out a crunch yet haha. But damn this is good work
great work man… your N-filter is pretty cool too
I finished yours, just need to fit it on your cyclotron :P!
Steve ( Bravo ) you made a great job and the detail is amazing :walterpeck: you working on this shell like a good .he will look real good on the stretcher a our table in Montreal comic con.

Very impressive work. I’ll keep this thread in mind as reference for answering build questions.
thx all, its really appreciate! if you have any question dont hesitate ill answer with a real pleasure!
After having received and installed my new Arcoelectric Hat lights (thanks to AJ again) I decided to improve my Shock mount. It has been shown that the bellows were made ??of brass with an aluminum cap.
So I started to paint the “bellow” part with gold paint to give him a look of brass.
I applied some black paint with a cloth and then wiped. creating a dirty looking
Put a lot of Fuller earth and installed back, easy to do
The last update i would like to do is replacing my custom SMC Elbow for some real Legris gen 1 but i didnt find any of them yet, and i think ill never never find them… 
Real elbows or not, that’s a stunning looking pack!
Nick said it best: stunning. That bellows looks incredible, and that pack is simply gorgeous. One of the best I’ve seen.
Kudos, man. :crunch:
