I'm going to have to load up on Advil because this project is going to give me plenty of headaches.
Having recently finished my Rocketeer jetpack, I have enough confidence to start looking at the Proton Pack - a considerably more complicated prop to build.
Having joined the GB Fans forum, I am still in the "research" mode, but have already made a number of kit part purchases (Nickatron) and will be starting with the Proton Gun (aka Particle Thrower, aka Neurtono Wand) and treat it as its own individual prop build.
My intent is to install a light kit (Jupiter Electronics on Ebay) and corresponding sound kit (CRIX, also on Ebay). Since installing electronics scares to heck out of me, I will be sure to go slow and do my homework.
Why is my thread titled "Drama-free" you ask?
I won't go into details, but lets just say I feel more safe posting a build thread here than over at GB Fans for the time being....
Once I start getting parts in the mail, I can post photos and such.
I'd like to keep my thread positive, so if you have experience building a Proton Pack and would like to contribute suggestions and support, please feel free!
