Morning All,
Im looking at building a Proton Pack and Thrower but I'm having problems from the off. I'm a designer for a steel company and I'm used to using detail and assembly drawings to create any of the models I need to design anything needed, But for a prop so adored I'm very surprised most people just have to go through the same monotonous process of printing a picture they found out to roughly the right size and just going from there.
My aim is to call upon some of the community who have proton packs to give me a handful of dimension of the pack/thrower so I can build a full size model and make detail drawings to aid in myself and other enthusiasts future builds.
I did see on the GBfans website there were some drawing created by somebody but I haven't been able to find a copy of them. Ive got some dimensions from pictures of peoples builds when I was trying to find reference images but thats it. Also, any other 3D models I've tried to find are amateur if that and are done on software like SketchUp which never exports when and is never fully manifold.
I have already stated creating the model by sketching over a superimposed image but I need these extra dimensions for verification.I would need overall heights and widths of the back board along with diameter of the cyclotron, and depths of most of the items,
My goal from this would to obviously aid myself in the build but also aid others. I just do not get the rationale of somebody who creates a great prop and keeps the information or 3D model if there is one, to themselves... but I digress.
So can anyone help a fellow enthusiast??
Cheers
