Super20J's MDF Proton Pack Build

Well, I’m almost done with my first pack. An MDF build that I’ve worked on for the last year using (mostly) Stefan’s plans, with some help from my brother, Plurkle20J, who built his MDF pack last year.

I wish I had taken MORE photos, but you know how it is when you are so into finishing a part that taking a picture is the last thing on your mind! It will be 100% done and ready for DragonCon in a few weeks. At this moment, all I have left is the tip of the thrower to complete.

Always love seeing custom builds! Great work!

I love the smashed lense on the cyclotron!!

Very nice work mate, looks awesome! You should be very proud!

Extremely impressive. It looks like a shell, its that good. Is it all MDF or did you build a buck to make shells from?

Great work regardless!

No shell. All MDF, plastic and PVC. And thank you!

Oh man, in this age of shells it’s always great to see a scratch build! Great job.

I’m thinking of tackling an MDF scratch build also - my first back is mostly MDF but it weight an absolute ton… mostly because of how I build my spacer (solid shaped layers). Could i ask how much you’re totalled (roughly), and is if still comfortable on the back?

Also if i may ask, how did you tackle the curved parts of the spacer?

Any insight at all would be HUGELY appreciated. :slight_smile:
