Gentleman, I have joined the ranks...

Well… not exactly. Not the ranks of “prop builders” (although technically I built my Ecto-Goggles, so maybe not technically pack builders…) Anyway, I'm rambling and need to get to the point of this, in all its amazingly awesome glory.

I didn't build it. It was built for me by my friend Jack (formerly JJS8807 on GBFans), who I met at the New York Comic Con this past year. I won't give details of the exact amount of money and all of that, but I will say he gave me what I consider to be a fantastic deal, and communicated with me constantly throughout. Everything could not have gone over smoother…

And the best part came today… I have never had a chance to revisit my childhood to the degree that I did today. It was truly a dream come true to finally unpack and strap on my very own Proton Pack.

And now, for some pictures…



Notice how giddy I look… Like I said, dream come true.

And here are 2 shots of me wearing it with the goggles I made, and my uniform (with GuntahKaela's hose connector):





And finally, a shot of the back of the pack:



It has a few minor touch ups for me to do (the ion arm cap had fallen off in shipping, but is back on now)… Some very minor touch ups/things for me to add.

I still can't believe that I have a proton pack sitting in my house right now. I can't wait for our Halloween party here this weekend, and to go walk around downtown during the day on Saturday. This thing is truly beautiful, and I can't thank Jack enough for the fantastic job he did for me.

Welcome to the fold, Dan.

Your back will never forgive you.

Congrats! I will admit, I didn't build the majority of my pack either - but that doesn't squelch my excitement about it. Actually, I can't wait to get off of work today because I'm get to go unpack it and get everything ready for tomorrow! (I did build my own “cheap Home Depot” Ecto- Goggles over the summer, so it will be the first year to add those to the uniform.) But congrats again. Many happy years to come with your pack.

Lovely stuff fella. I like the joy in the photo there!

I'm half way through building my first myself, something I swore I'd never do! My missus is having a ghostbusters party though, so it seemed pertinent! Gun is done, pack is carved, it sort of looks vaguely right… as vaguely right as poundland (our equivalent of a dollar store, I guess) will allow, anyway!

Great pics and pack!

Would love to do one myself if I ever had the time, resources, skill, money…
