Proton Pack 2.0 is in the Mail!

It has finally happened.  I finished. And to say I'm proud of this one is an understatement. It came out WAY beyond my expectations. It's much cleaner and more detailed than my original. After all, the original was for my own enjoyment and this one was for a friend. Gotta make it look good, no?  The correct ribbon cable for starters makes this stand out from mine. A better stand. Updated electrics.  It's just over all superior.  My first go, the switch isn't an on off switch. You have to hold it down in order for the pack to light up. This one is a true on off, SO much better.  So without any more rambling, here is what you're all looking for. The pictures!

To start. The stand. Mine was a quickly cobbled together stand made of wood and shot with some grey paint. This one is of plastic, much sturdier and black. (By request of the owner, but a smart choice)

Packs side by side! I love mine, don't get me wrong, but the one on the right is a beauty!
I tried to emulate the packs of GB1 so you can see right away that the wand is afixed a little differently. In the first movie they were on a more severe angle. In GBII the angle was increased to make grabbing them easier.

A nice side view with the "yellow lights" on the side of the powercell from Ray's pack. A lot of people thought these were actual lights, but it's just the casing being too thin and the light bleeding through.

Close up of some of the warning labels and aging of the cyclotron. 

And here is what you've all been waiting for. It's a live! Lit and glorious and pretty bright. Those lights'll hurt your eyes if you look directly into them. (taken with flash)

Without the fill flash there are so many more details picked up in this picture. I like to think that I succeeded in getting the aged/worn look of the pack correct.

Just another angle with the gun off to the side.

A few people have asked me for size comparison. So here it is next to my much smudged S3. Saying 1:7 scale doesn't really mean much until you see it next to something.

Lastly, a shot of the gun. 

And there you are folks! Finished. And as we speak it's flying (driving) down the road to it's new owner who I KNOW will give it a very good home.
