> [@noslliT](#): > > jaw dropping. what did you use for the boxes? I’m pretty sure they are just hammond boxes with model parts (most likely from a model tank kit) glued on them. Jack and I were about to start IDing some of this stuff. So far, Cyland is doing a nice job replicating parts such as the power supplies and heat sinks. It’s looking good so far. ---

Here’s some screen caps: You can make out all the landmarks on the boxes and the kit parts. I remember someone saying that the tread, which isn’t in my photos, came from a tank. I just surmised that the rest of the parts came from the same kit. The largeer piece with the round bit was pretty much the key. Also looking at the powercell lights on Ken’s GBII pack and what size box it would fit in helped. Overall just looking for boxes that that thing would fit in brought up the correct box and the other side’s box was the same manufacturer. Oh I left the center of that screen cap uncovered, you can see the 4" wide aluminum plate holding the tanks and the 1 1/4" aluminum crossmember that it is connected to. You can also see the three pop-rivets holding the tanks on. ---

Excellent build thread, Brent. Excellent. I’ll reference this thread to help answer questions and for my own needs when I build one. ---

This just keeps getting better and better! Any chance of a parts list at some point in the future? ---

Ok it took me a while to dig out the box info: The boxes are made by Serpac and repacked and sold under the name BUD, mine are both BUD: Smaller left one is BUD PN# PS-11521-G . Measures 3.62" X 2.25" X 1.01" The lights are Linrose / Chicago Miniture like on the trap but the green one has a round top lens. And larger right one is BUD PN# PBS-11327-G Measures 5.62" X 3.25" X 1.5" The light on this one matches the one on the gun and is an [Arcolectric](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/arcolectric) piece: ---

Any idea what model parts are on the project boxes? The more pictures you post, the more intimidating this build really seems! ---

This is looking very nice; by far the best I’ve seen for some time. ---

Ok, I found the model kit info: Tamiya 1/35th Kampfpanzer Leopard kit # MM-164A . The parts break down to: The tanks are 4" , 5" and 9 1/2" . The 4" tank is 19 3/4" tall. The 5" tank is 17 3/4" tall. The 9 1/2" tank is 36" tall. To be honest with you the build isn’t that intimidating, it just involves several parts stuck together, the three tanks, two pump boxes and a ball. Throw in lights, the two boxes and some fittings and you’re there. It’s getting there that takes the time, figuring how the thing goes together and finding found parts. In my photos the pack is missing a support that runs from the upper aluminum support to the bottom of the [alice pack frame](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/alice-pack-frame-lc-2). The tank support member, the 4" wide aluminum, is just bolted on so I can get to the back of it to pop rivet the main tank on. As soon as I do that, it will be pop riveted on. Here’s another tidbit, between the two packs there really is not a whole lot of difference except for the left power supply / ball support is mounted more squarely on one of the frames. Both packs were worn by Dan and Erine so there is no “this was Dan’s pack” or “this was Erine’s pack”. The guns are slightly different as well. ---

one thing that made me wonder if there was more than 2. Look right before Dana gets wrapped in that black tubing, I believe it’s Ernie’s small white box has none of the detail on it, or what happened there…? ---

Patch up job for a damaged section? We’ve seen how badly the props in the first film got beat up as production went along. Awesome update, Brent… I wouldn’t have had the patience to track down the exact tank kit they used. Is it one still in production today? ---

Thanks for sharing the kit info, fortunately it’s still fairly easy to find both online and in decent hobby stores. ---

Yeah none of my shops around here had it so it was E-bay, I think I dropped $20 on the kit. I’ll be posting not so much of plans but of photos with measurements and a list of parts. My plans are full size and don’t really photograph well but if you follow my photos you should be able to build a very good replica. ---

Excellent info Cyland. Thank you for sharing the model #'s and such. One off question…would the model tank kit happen to contain any of the oodball bits from the giga? i.e. the tank tread possibly? ---
