[protongamer]

Hi there,
This is my Proton Pack 100% Finished :

It tooks me 5 months.

 

[Miker]

That thing is astoundingly epic! Nice work! Do you have a build thread??

Ok, I post the building's pics.
When I bought the proton pack(without electronics & proton wand), it was in bad condition.


So it was the time to restore it.

First I took off Proton pack's labels


Second, I took off the rings(they was in cardboard),




and I remade plastic rings.

Well, Cyclotron's holes were too big, I finally put a wood plate and sealing plaster to stop up holes.


When it dry, I sand down the sealing plaster.

After that I put plastic rings and drill 4 holes.


next I put polyester primer on the pack and I sand down it



Between that, I started Arduino Electronics

That was the power cell circuit.



It was the sound font(Vs1053b of Adafruit)



And the wand's bargraph

I prepared junction for EL Wire.



Later, I prepared lights for holes,



I painted the Proton pack, and we got a better view

Well, I started work for the wand.
I bought a wand kit from Recast Relics

And I made some pieces from the wand



I found a plasma tube for my wand

I put a luxeon led to make a blast effect

Next, I continue for assemble pieces of the proton wand



I put electronics, led, button, plasma tube, aluminium tubes, and the wand's pieces, and the wand was finally done

But it was not finished yet, i had to make the pipe
it made with a rope, El wires, data wires(arduino to the wand) and hose plait
