    Well, seeing that this year is the 25th Anniversary of the classic comedy, GHOSTBUSTERS, I decided to build my own prop Proton Pack, the main tool of the Ghostbusting trade

    Anyone else plan on doing it this year?
    It's not very hard; but it does help to have some skill w/ power tools
    It will take about 10 to 14 days if you take your time - and it does'nt have to be 100% screen accurate. You can use MDF board for the "Motherboard".

    And the flight suit can be bought for cheap.
    Khaki, tan, or navy blue flight suits/coveralls can all be found at your local " Army / Navy " store for around $20 to $30.
    The elbow pads are just dyed grey or black soccer knee pads - $10 @ Target. Most Army/Navy stores will also carry the web-ammo belt for around $10

    If so, I can put up links directing you to the best source for plans, blueprints and parts lists to build your own Proton Pack!

    Here's a start: GBfans - Community - Ghostbusters Fans

    Hey Joker,

    Joker and alucard, I'm a member of GBFans, as well. Not only do I have the complete uniform, pack, trap, etc., I was also lucky enough to find a group to do events with.

    I think these updated Ghostbuster costumes from the Citroen C3 tv ad look cool

    UK, I remember when that commercial came out. It caused alot of fear on the GBFans board that if a Ghostbusters 3 were to come out, that this was the new direction. Obviously, we know now it's a Citroen commercial, but it was still fun!

    Mel: Here are a few pictures of myself in my Ghostbusters' gear.

    On the right:


    When we met Dan Aykroyd (I'm on the top right):


    Our equipment (mine on the left):


    And the guys behind the gear (I'm on the left, Dustin on the right) and our ride:


    I have TONS more, but this is a good start! Oh, and Danny Aykroyd signed our packs, which you can see inside the car.
