Hi everyone! I’ve been a longtime lurker here and have really enjoyed reading all of your incredible posts and builds. I finally decided it was time to join the conversation.

For the past couple of years, I’ve been researching the [proton packs](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) used in the films while slowly working on a 1:1 scratch-built shell. I’ve gone down just about every rabbit hole possible—including seeing both the Venkman and Super-Hero packs in person—and I’m finally getting close to finishing the shell.

That said, I’ve gotten conflicting answers on a few measurements, so I figured I’d ask here before I end up wasting any more material.

If you own a Mack’s Legacy shell, would anyone be willing to help verify the approximate dimensions of a few measurements for me?

I’d be happy to pay $20 for your time and effort, since I know taking these measurements can be a bit tedious. I really appreciate any help!

Side note: My original account has been affected by a glitch since the recent update, so I haven’t been able to log in or post. I had to create a new account for the time being.
