Hello all! After months of lurking, and trying to figure out how to build one on my own…with no space or tools…and a massive case of OCD…I’ve decided it’s best to leave the pack building up to the pros and purchase one.
Looking for this to be a “once in a lifetime” purchase, so I’m looking for something quality, accurate, and ready to last years of busting!
Preferably GB1 but I won’t be picky!
Thanks for the recommendations everyone!
UPDATE: Looking to keep it under 2k USD
If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime purchase/commission, I’d say it may be best to connect with Proton Props out of the UK. If you have the extra cash, this may be one of your best options:
Second shout for Proton Props. David is doing the best commissions out there. Be warned he has quite a long wait list though.
Oh wow those are gorgeous!
UPDATE: looking to stay under 2k USD. Otherwise you’ll need to catch my ghost when the Mrs kills me lol
$2k isn’t a huge amount for a commission build, so you may have to sacrifice a little on the quality/accuracy side of things. You could try Douglas Fisher at Gatekeeper Productions, he’s in Canada and does commission builds, normally using benofkent kits I think. Not sure who else is taking on commissions these days though.
Depending on the extent of bells and whistles you want I could probably do something for 2k
They actually sell replicate proton packs guys I’m impressed wish I knew that when I did my Ghostbusters play then again I probably would have had the money either can they make slime blow a Mach 4 version from the Ghostbusters video game.
There have been a couple of folk done slime blower commission builds. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a video game commission pack, but there’s been a bunch of folk build their own though.
No matter which vendor you choose check the feedback forum for any possible encounters with these suggested makers: LINK
Doug is based in the US.
Oops! I always get that confused because he’s something to do with the Calgary GBs!
