Hi Everyone, I have been in the shadows of this board for to long watching and studying and building my first pack, the most disappointing day in the two year's it took to complete my pack was 2020 and all the event cancelations as I had just finished the two year endeavor to build a as close to humanly posable screen accurate pack, did I mention the pack is 90 percent EVA foam ![Walter Peck :walterpeck:](./images/smilies/WalterPeck.gif)
This was my First workbench
and yes that is a vintage Tupperware 1970's or 80's 10in cake carrier

I built the power cell first and yes it was not great![*Blushing* :blush:](./images/smilies/Blush.gif)

My progress was slow

The pack was starting to take shape believe me I know its not much to look at just trust me this gets better, I am using some junk parts if you are not familiar with that term its parts like using a prengles can as the N-filter and spray paint caps for the large washers on the cyclotron
![Image](https://i.postimg.cc/tgbQPvHh/07RufFit.jpg)
So I have the base parts built and for the life of me I keep trying to build each one better and better and at this point I am almost wasting time but I want it to be as perfect as I can possibly build
as you can see in this picture I was not building with just one type of material but I believe most Hero packs have a assortment of material's ![*Rolls Eyes* :eyeroll:](./images/smilies/EyeRoll.gif)

Detailing with bondo helped but always adds weight to the build it was a pore chose to use it but it payed off with detail![Cool :cool:](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Once more I had taken something light like EVA foam and twisted it to be something its not with bondo and help from the belt sander
I mean I had to make the flats somehow

Came in at 2.545 lb

found a nordicware cake pan I was thinking of using for the cyclotron but instead I made a fiber glass pull of the inside instead

I had done something at this point that was still unclear in my eye's it had come together nicely but there was still so much to do, and yes those are still the spray can caps with a little bondo for the cyclotron washers![Whatever Man! :whatever:](./images/smilies/Whatever.gif)
