Spirit Halloween Frankengeek Proton Pack build

agiantslor · December 19, 2022, 3:51am

hello all! I’ve been building this Spirit Halloween 2021 version for my son for next Halloween. It’s a WIP

Completed:

Frankengeek lights and sound kit (using afterlife startup sounds)
Frankengeek wand kit
Talentcell battery packs with externally accessible charging ports (one is for the Frankengeek stuff, the other will be for amp/speakers)
New motherboard with cutouts for battery pack toggles
Add externally accessible microsd card reader so I can change sounds easily: Amazon.com (didn’t work I tried multiple extensions)
Get some foamy felt replacement with new cutout flaps for the motherboard
Add adafruit 20w amp Amazon.com
4” speakers (hence the need for a wooden motherboard) Amazon.com
Mount to an ALICE frame
Weathering
Decals (Moby weathered v2)
Magnetic vhook (Etsy)

Mounted the amp and added volume controls. Test fit with the speakers and everything fits and works fine. SUPER LOUD

Pack electronics and wooden motherboard are done. Mounted via corner brackets like a lot of systems use. Next up is weathering, decals, ALICE frame, magnetic “v-hook” mount and a flap to cover the opening to the batteries

Great job on the weathering!

Magnetic “vhook” and gun rail painted and jb plastic welded on. Will apply some weathering to the pieces too. Painted the magnet then scratched off the paint for a little authentic weathering too.

Mounted, weathered, magnetic vhooked, AlICE framed! Pretty much all done. Thanks everyone for looking!
