Here’s the [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard). I’m going to get it ready to attach this week.

The newly repainted Alice frame, I think it is a major improvement from where it was. I’ll get the carriage bolts this week as well.

I also got some tubing to put inside the wire loom. I know it isn’t accurate, but I like the way it keeps it from bunching up. Also it looks like there are some heavy duty cables under it.

I’ve also ordered the [booster frame](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/booster-frame) and the SMC elbows and straights.

The only piece I’m really missing from the pack right now that I can’t build myself is the [bumper](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bumper).

I made the shock mount out of some washers.

He’s the [Ion Arm](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-welded-ion-arm) bit. It’s made from foamboard and wooden dowels. The dowels are actually colored gold instead of copper at the moment. I might keep it this way, it gives it a slightly different look.

[Booster Frame](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/booster-frame) is also in. Needs a little more sanding before I’m happy with it.

I’ve drilled some holes into the Ion Arm so I can attach the resistors. I’ve also got all the PVC pieces glued on the pack. I made some fake weld lines at the edges of the pieces and I’ll be letting it dry overnight.

Tomorrow I’ll give it another coating of silver paint, then I can get a coat of black on it. The [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) is also ready to be painted. Also get it attached to the shell this week
