Just in the mock up stage right now using foamboard. I’m going to do some of the parts in 1/4" MDF when I get the sizes right. I will most likely do the bumper in aluminum and probably the motherboard too.
Its the foam poster board you get at craft stores, 1/4" thick, cuts with a razor knife. I will be using 1/4" MDF wood for the final pack, it’s a bit heavier but far more durable. I will also post some measurements when i’m done.
Still have a couple things to add, half paint the bubble, add the box with the rocker switches and domed lights on the bottom left. The cyclotron does light up and cycle but it does not come out in the pictures.
I really vibe off the RGB packs. I haven’t decided, personally, which one I want to create. I’m leaning more and more towards a RGB one because of how neat they keep coming out in this fourm. This one rocked. Good work, man.
Actually,all the foamboard was swapped out for 1/4" MDF wood for strength. Where the gun will mount is 1/2" thich so no problems with strength. There are access panels on either side to get at the lights and by removing the bumper (which is attached to the cyclotron) you can gain access to the electronics there. Batteries(9v) will be mounted on the back of the motherboard with a toggle switch. The switch on the gun is homemade from wood and is non-functional.
The pack looks amazing. If I wasn’t still broke from buying my costume and building my movie style pack I’d start an RGB pack, they’re looking so good.
how come your selling it so fast? and without the changes you said ou needed to make, it looks nice and all but wow…why not keep it alittle longer and apperciate the work you put into it?
Fixing this comment per forum etiquette, sorry guys, just found out that what mentioned was a sensitive subject on here, I’m not a prop noob, but I am a GBprops.com noob.
