The base of the pack is a normal thick box. From there I added a handle and some foam plates to the front and back.

I picked up some electrical boxes, plastic insulating bushings and even a circuit breaker switch and inline fuse holder (all from the electrical aisle), along with various foam circles and rings from the craft store.

I also got sheets of red and silver paper, and glued them on in appropriate locations. I had also picked up a few feet of cut-to-order wire from Lowe’s in various colors. I attached the wire and glued them in place to resemble the original proton packs.

SUCCESS!
