A really fast build to get ready for a last-minute costume party invite.

I remember the first time I saw this guy and said why is there a man over there with a proton pack! Then I realized it was some backpack vacuum thing. Everytime I see him cleaning the apartment across the way I say I am going to take a pic. I did before but they didn't come out as good as these and he caught me doing it.

Here's another Ghostbusters pic!

It took all day, but I am thrilled with how my proton pack came out. I repainted the entire thing a darker black. A mixture of flat black spray paint and chalkboard spray paint. I made my own labels to add a bit more to the pack. And luckily I did, because one of the decals ripped off when I took the masking tape off. I added fake lights and detail logos etc onto the wand and pack. I weathered the entire thing with silver paint to give it the appearance of the black paint wearing away. I put the iconic red wire on the top of the wand, using a red USB cable and some hot glue. I painted many little bits and fake screws that were just black, with a silver paint. And lastly I dirtied up the decals and some of the wire connectors. Man, that was an ordeal, but I had fun and am super happy with the results. #ghostbusters #ghosttrap #therealghostbusters #halloween #horror #beforeandafter #nerd #singleweirdomanchild #collector #toycollector

A really fast build to get ready for a last-minute costume party invite.

Images from the "Incredible Costumes from Film & TV" exhibit at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, March 13, 2011.

We didn't know we would be going to the exhibit that day so all we had were cell phone cameras.

I'm posting these as a costumer and prop maker, so you'll see a lot of close ups of seams and other details. Hopefully they will serve as a good reference for others.

It has begun...
