Proton Packs • Re: OnEdge’s GB2 Style Foam Core Scratch Build (PIC HEAVY)

Hey guys, its been over a month without updates and I apologize. School has gotten in the way of a lot of things and working with foam core is a lot more difficult than one would expect. A fellow user on the boards here who also did a foam build put it like “foam is an easy material, but its not an easy material to work with”. The progress isn’t the most impressive but I thought an update is better than no update.

I’ve been trying to chip away at this crank gen for a while now. I’m planning on splitting the part into three pieces so I can make the box where the crank knob sits, wonky.



Here is the first box I managed to make. This box is where the label sits. The small pile of panels next to it is the middle box where the vacuum pump will sit. I made a pretty big mistake with the top panel on the box I made, you can clearly see in the image how the paper has folded and warped. I’m deciding on whether I fix it or not since it adds to the pack’s imperfection spirit.

I’m contemplating on whether or not I should continue to update this thread after I finish the shell because I don’t plan on making the rest of the parts from scratch since this may be the last build I do for a while. Thats it for the updates though.
