It seemed a huge shame to detail the Pack to be as rough as the real filming prop. I included lumps, scratches, dents and rust bubbles, as well as mimicking the fibreglass texture of the real props to a degree. In most photos, the pack looks shiny and clean, but, get up close and catch it in the right light, and it looks like rough, reclaimed hardware. It's still more detailed in that regard than the filming prop - when building such large replicas as these, you need to comprimise and add idealism to accuracy - are you copying what you're made to see, through lighting and lenses, or are you copying the exact prop? An exact copy would be somewhat underwhelming to a non-movie geek, so here I have to go the extra mile.
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
Yes, I know, I forgot the N-filter. Unfortunately the batch of brownies didn't turn out well, and most of them were too hard to shape and pile into a cylinder.
