Greetings!
I am happy to be here and to see so much wonderful and useful information regarding my favorite movies! I would pretend I was a ghostbuster as a child and go adventuring in spooky places with my brother and friends (ghost hunting) Now as an adult I am going to attempt my first pack build 
and dress my son and daughter up when they are old enough (slimer maybe?) or junior busters.
I have been building things for as long as I can remember, always digging through my fathers tools as a child taking apart toys and radios etc… modifying toy cars to have working drills on the front/different lighting. I build guitars/models/work on cars/modify cars.
I am hoping to do some pretty neat things like having a large speaker in the protron pack and a vibration motor inside the thrower. (maybe a couple in the pack for added effect.)
I would like to try and make most parts from metal with real welds, and nice walnut wooden grips for the wand so they can get a nice weathered look as the paint rubs off. I am not so worried about weight at conventions and halloween because I am an armed forces medic and am used to carrying large amounts of weight for very long times on my back plus having a weapon/ammo and a medical jumpbag too 
I will post lots of pictures as I build so that they may be of help to anyone wishing to try any of my ideas. I also plan to give full credit to anyone whose Ideas I use or plans I look at.
Thank you for your time in reading my novel of an introduction!!
