not your everyday write-up.. "Proton Pack inside" 56k negative
 

ok so i like to get crazy this time a year. my buddies always throw a huge Halloween Party, and everyone gets very into it. ---- i even took the week off just for this one event.
i've put about 70+ hours and 1 month into the hole costume, and around 500 bucks.

pretty much every single thing on the Pack and Gun are very accurate.. i would say 95%
little things like the stickers/resistors/nobs where very exspensive.. and 100% are movie accurate.

everything was built from cardborad, bondo, and a ---- tone of hot glue..
pretty much all the lights light up on the gun and pack, all are wired to a switches on the gun itself.. probly about 8 hours just in wiring alone. though not movie accurate, didnt have the time to get the exact light kit or make one in time :(

pictures dont really do it justice.. but in person its ------ amazing.

i also have a flight suit, elbow pads, belt, patches, boots, gloves, cuircut board on belt, and clips... all are authentic to the movie, and costly.


i guess i'm just a huge geek :1

note.. not 100% done yet
