hi!
i need a proton pack! i would build one of my own, but i have not the skills to vacuumform the pack, or producing it out of resin!
so if there is someone who have something left in reserve, or still saving the molds (for re-producing) please give me sign!

Generally, asking for a proton pack on is not a good idea. But the big question is, do you have the money to afford one? They can cost up to and over $1000 dollars, and that can be one without electronics.

Check eBay, they almost always have at least one listed. If not, you can go the to my crappy route lol

i know they are that expansive!
thats why i ask “only” for the parts i can not buy in an constructionmarket or something!
this thread is more intresting for people who can build those parts( have the molds in reserve ) and this for not so much money
!i was not talking about a full completed fuktional pack!
sorry that was not clear in the first post!

www.gbfans.com has a market place where parts can be purchased… they're usually the smaller parts so you won't be able to get a resin replica of every element of the Pack, but it'll get you a good enough start.

However Packs don't have to be vacuum-formed or completely resin, they can be made quite easily from wood.


I wouldn't expect to be buying a mould any time soon, they don't seem to crop up all that often, possibly partly due to people not wanting recasting to take place.

Actually, even a pack without electronics is pretty expensive. I know one of the lead prop replica makers that sold packs without electronics that were about $550ish. But lots of people have made their own packs using wood, foam or even cardboard. It just takes a little creativity.

I'm confused. He said he knows they're expensive and that he's just looking for parts, not a completed pack… at least that's the impression I got.

He said he wasn't looking for a completed fully functional pack, but I was just saying even a non functional pack is expensive. Never mind…

both u of u are right!
i know, a pack is expansive!
if there are electronics in it or not!
i want to make my own one, but not a crapy looking one!
so i need the mainparts out of resin or vac-formed! (wood would be to heavy and u see from what it is made of)
im not asking for the molds, im asking for someone who can do it very quickly because he/she have saved the mold!
so if u know someone who can produce “just” another copy please tell him/her!

Crappy is a bit of exaggeration, cause some people have made really good looking packs with junk. Hell, mine is printed from paper!







As Kingpin pointed, GBfans.com has a list of parts you can buy, and has blue prints for what parts you can use to build one. EDIT: Also right now on eBay there are a few pack shells for sale, which should get you starting on a pack. You can most of what else is needed at gbfans.
