Want to help TCos get its own forum, complete with image galleries, wiki, articles, info databases, and more? Then we need your help!

So the $100 goal has so far been met-- but I'll be leaving the donation link up until the move because as far as hosting goes, you really can't have enough funds saved up for that sort of thing. Thanks to everyone who contributes!

Alright, so somebody I know had the idea to have us dress up as Ghostbusters together for comic con... but since neither of us have the financial or material resources to put together a proper proton pack, we decided to go for a futuristic look that would allow us sleeker, and inevitably cheaper, gear. Besides... you gotta love elsewhen versions of canon designs.

So I offered to design and build two sets of cyber-y proton packs instead of making a transformer costume this summer. I really want to broaden my knowledge of materials, so I'm going to be working with some kind of resin for sure, but I don't know if I want to make it out of paper and a little fiberglass like the Halo guys, or if I want to make a silicone mold and all that. I think inevitably the first option will probably be cheaper and less time-consuming, though. I'm pretty good at making identical duplicates out of paper mocks anyways.

So this is the design I have so far:

I've got some ideas on how to make the particle thrower... I don't have a final design for it yet, though.

Anyways, what do you guys think? :3

Here's the basic pack shape. Deviated quite a bit from what I had above, but... you know how that goes. The transition from 2D to 3D is a bumpy one, and for some reason I design 3D things much better in 3D.
