Thanks!!!

Well... I had a spare hose barb lying around, so I dremeled the top part of the resistor and used JB weld to secure it in place

cool! i noticed that the screen-used packs have a barb in the resistor... which makes a LOT of sense. my hose keeps slipping off the peg... very annoying.

I agree! Even with the barb I had my share of issues, so I decided to take the epoxy off and go with JB weld. It is possible that my 2 part epoxy didn't cure as expected, tho. But as of today so far, so good! It's still in place and no sign of slipping. Good thing is that the prong fits the barb easily.

I decided to weather my pack a bit I took the pics at night, and the flash washes off some of the weathering. I tried to took some pics without flash, too. I'll try to take some photos with daylight and no flash tomorrow.

That looks incredible, fantastic weathering job, seriously, a work of art!

Wow, thanks for those words!

I'll try to take better pics during with daylight... every pic I took came out looking different than the previous one, and washed some of the weathering

This pack has come a long way, nice to see it taken to the level you have, a real display piece there...

It's always nice to see a bunch of my parts actually put together into a pack, it's so much more impressive then all the parts individually like I see them most of the time...

That is so cool !! Well done !

AMAZING!!!! You did a great job on your pack!!!! I picked up one of MMM's gun kits. This is going to help me a lot.

Question: Who's the maker of your shell pack?

Question: Who's the maker of your shell pack?

I would be the guilty party :confused at least in regards to making them, the original shell was built by Venkman71 and with his blessing I made several changes and tweaks to it and offer it up in the form you see today...

 

[jt001]

Could've not said it better! Best shell ever!

Thanks Flynn!
