My GP 38-2

[SpokaneSteve]

Hello all:

I thought I would share my take on the GP 38-2. Many people have made one and mine is fairly derivative. I spend some time looking at Swoofty's and Kai's when I made it and you can definitely see their influence.

It has a power functions motor and a custom battery pack and switch. It's a good hauler due to the weight provided by the 6 AA batteries.

The stickers came from JopieK. Thanks much.

So I am interested in the custom battery pack, how did you make it < 4 studs wide? I wound up doing a PF GP-38 but made it in Santa Fe Red and Light/Dark Gray.

Very nice job.

The battery pack is actually 2 studs wide by about 2.5 bricks tall.

It looks like this:

Google battery holder 6 AA and you will find them for sale. I took 1/2 a PF extension cord and soldered it to the press-fit connector that you see here with a switch inline as well.

Cheers Steve.
