So back in March of 2021 I acquired a Mack's Factory idealized proton pack shell and since then I've been eagerly awaiting the release of the other idealized parts so I can get this thing finally strapped to my back! Unfortunately the wait has been agonizing as the only idealized parts released since then have been the booster frame and bumper, and I'm champing at the bits to get this thing assembled, so I've decided that in the meantime I'll 3D print the parts that are missing as a place holder until more parts are released and I will just switch them out accordingly as they come in.
My plan is to modify the beautiful Quentin Machiels v3 proton pack files to fit the Mack's shell, all parts will be printed in PETG and fastened to the pack in a way so that they can be easily removed once the new official parts become available. Things like the Legris elbows and the various brass fittings on the pack will be real and not printed, so I'll probably end up picking those up from GBfans. I'm pretty excited to tackle this project and I can't wait to share more progress here once things start to ramp up!
