These are the lights that will be in the actual gun. A more complicated setup, these also include a vibration module and barrel lights to go off when firing the gun.
Sprinkler tubing was used for the long cylindrical sections of the proton wand. The front of the wand and the handle are connected together with a short spacer of extra PVC tubing using superglue. Joining the front and back sections together this way gave the entire structure much more strength than if they were simply glued into the cardboard housing separately.
The roughened patches you see on the tubing are areas that were sanded down with a rotary tool to give the glue a good surface to bind to.
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
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
