[The Real Joker]

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!

My Ghostbusting gear and costume pics

Well here it is, complete costume and Proton Pack, made entirely from corrugated cardboard, scrap pieces of computer cables, almost 2 bottles of wood glue, over 100 glue sticks, alot of paint, a Pringle's can, an Arizona ice tea bottle, a microwave dish cover, miscellaneous medicine bottles, bottlecaps, old Halloween lights for the Powercell, Cyclotron and Particle Thrower aka Proton Gun - cost around $30, and the uniform cost me around $70, so about $100 total. Next year the pack will have sound effects

Red Hallows, very cool to see the newer generation into Ghostbusters
And with 2009 being the 25th Anniversary of the first movie, and talks about GB 3 in the works, ghost fever is at an all time high

I'm saving my pack and uniform for GB 3 to hit theaters any year now!
