That's crazy because I actually live in Singleton! Damn it, I'm bidding on this! I suck at building things and this is a once-in-a-life-time opportunity! Wish me luck!

Indeed I shall. My maximum bid is fairly high so I'm hoping I win (lucky I get paid next week). If I do get that pack I want to add lights and sound so I'll need help for that. Also, I'll have to get myself a suite, trap, goggles and PKE which I'll try and make. If I don't win the pack I'll be buying a shell so expect me to have LOTS of question in the future. :blush:

I know you guys have all said that part of the joy comes from building the pack yourself. I can understand this but construction is NOT one of my skills. I'm an artist, I draw and paint (and write a little too), but building ---no way man. I only JUST past sculpture when I did my Bachelor of Fine Art.

But still, one can take something and make it their own, and that's what I plan to do with this!

And I really appreciate all the offers of help. I've only been here two days and everyone has already been terribly accommodating. Thanks a lot, guys! :cool:

The lights in mine and Andrew's packs are from Exoray, but you can expect a couple of months waiting time if you put an order in with him, he's got a 1000 projects on the go at the moment. Top quality though, and pretty easy to install.

If you want temporary lights, you could probably get an LED chaser kit from Dick Smith for $20, that's set you up for cyclotron and power bar, maybe.

Ebay.com is the best source of flightsuits. That's where I got mine, and I just bought 2 more for Ben and myself. Both are nomex and were only $15 US each (plus $40 shipping though, but $75AU for two nomex flight suits is still a bargain).

Thanks for the tips. Maybe we should make a Buying Prop Parts In Australia thread?

Anyway, I'll look into all of that stuff after I find out what's happening with the pack I bid on. I actually have a pair of welding goggles that I thought might go alright for Ecto-Goggles. Also, I might see if I still have my old mobile phone laying around, it might be OK for a make-shit PKE...

Well, it was under what I would have payed, but it;s was still a lot. So I don't regret it, but my bank account is quite sore.

By the way, I've started a threat HERE detailing what I plan to do and have posted some photos.
