...or as finished as it was going to get before its first public wearing. Whatever.
Anyway, here it is: Sarah's Mark I. Pack is 3/4 scale, gun is more or less full-scale. Nothing is lit at this point. I didn't have time to do the necessary surgery on Christmas lights to get the pack lit, and the gun's innards are no longer accessible (not without breaking the gunbody open, anyway)
This pack is disgustingly, disgustingly light.
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
This is one of those pieces that "made" the pack for me. Last year I had to fabricate one out of two different knobs, to get something similar; but I wasn't happy with it.
This year, I splurged and got the actual Raytheon knob.
Totally worth it.
Most of this is permanently affixed, except for the slo-blo box in the back with the hose. Decals have been added and it's starting to look like a thrower!

Sorry for all this spam recently, but I just can’t get over owning these things. Everything you see here was literally my childhood dreams and fantasies. I remember going into the Warner Bros. store and begging the employees to sell me the Gremlins on display. It’s not fair this stuff didn’t exist when I was a kid, but better late than never. #gremlins #ghostbusters #1984 #nightmareonelmstreet #anightmareonelmstreet #freddykrueger #freddyglove #gizmo #mogwai #protonpack #horror #halloween #movieprops
