When you say you went to a thrift store and bought the stuff, is this pack actually made of various items stuck down and painted?
Yep. It's made of toys, mostly.
The pack is made from a NERF disk launcher, some other toy which I have no idea what it was, parts of a water gun, a vacuum attachment, a few oddments I found in my apartment, and the wires and stuff are all the motors from the disk launcher.
The Neutrona wand is made from a hair curler, a pencil sharpener, part of a sink drain, and some oddments I pulled off the other stuff.
I attached as much as I could with bolts to keep the frame together, then glued the rest with a combo of Gorilla glue and some Liquid Nails to simulate welding.
