Hey GB Fans,

Some of you might remember me from years ago when I was building GB props. I certainly remember AJ. While I’m still into building stuff, I’ve gravitated away from full 1:1 props and started doing 1/6 scale figures. But all that prop research many moons ago certainly helped with this project.

I did a custom 1/6 Ray and [Containment Unit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/containment-unit). I wasn’t super happy with the quality of the [Mattel](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel) figure, although the equipment was pretty good. So I repainted and reworked the pack, trap, and goggles and scrapped the rest except for a few little odds and ends. The containment unit is completely scratch-built. Enjoy:

Ryan, that is by far the BEST 12" figure I have ever seen.

Everything you do is gold in my book.

Beautiful, that [containment unit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/containment-unit) looks so sharp in detail that it pretty much looks 1:1 scale. Your work to this day is some of the best in GB propping history and this come back post is just a friendly reminder of that :-).

Thanks, folks. Ghostbusters is still my favorite film of all time and will always have a special place in my heart. Maybe I’ll have to do a 1/6 scale Ecto 1 one of these days

This would be the amazing quality we’d get if Hot Toys was doing the 12" figures. Yeah they’d be 2 times the cost, but it’d easily be worth it.

Do you have any wip images of how you build the [containment unit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/containment-unit), and what parts you used? (Like the top [ribbon cable](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/ribbon-cable), and the steel power cables?

This definitely looks amazing. Very nice work.

And to the person who asked if he looks like Jeff Dunham’s “Walter”… I can totally see what you mean!
