dollar store 2016 proton pack help

Halloween is getting closer and closer and I’m realizing just how little time I have. I’m going to be Holtzmann for halloween and I need to focus on my proton pack. I wanted to make a super fancy one, but as halloween is so close and I’m broke, I can’t. I’m looking for cheap suggestions of materials to use in my pack. So far I’ve bought a tool box, and nerf guns. I’m hoping I can maybe find a colander to use for the faraday cage, and maybe add simple molding clay to it. Also thinking of getting pvc or actual copper piping for it too, but that’s about it. There are other things on it that I have no idea what I’m going to do, or what I should mount it on.

Any help would be great!!! I’d love to be able to get this going soon!!

I built the one I sold for about 50 bucks in about 2 weeks. PM me if you want some methods and Ideas! good luck!

for the aluminum motherboard i used a 6 dollar hard plastic refuse bin from lowes. its in the construction materials section. The material is soft enough to cut with shears but sturdy enough to mount everything to. it even has a 90ish degree bend to it. spray paint it silver and it looks pretty accurate. i would stay away from acrylic sheets as they break easy.

I used MDF for the Mobo since i was mounting an alice frame to it. I didnt want the frame to rip away
