GBFanSince84's Kids proton pack dollar store build

Yeah, I was thinking of doing something like that. That will probably be the way to go.

what about using copper pipeing? it the pack isn’t gonna be heavy then you could always just take the straps off a back pack and mount the straps right to the mobo. just an idea. the pack is coming along great tho.

I’ve toyed around with the idea of mounting the straps right onto the mobo cause the pack only weights about 6-8 pounds tops… that is a viable option.

Here are the latest updates. Added the ion arm and booster frame.

Well here’s the mostly completed pack. I bought hobby lobby lights for the cyclotron and power cell and I’ve also got a light for the thrower. I’ll probably post up a video of it soon. I’m probably going to attempt a full sized dollar store pack next now that I have this experience under my belt. Should be a lot easier to do this time!

Nicccccccce

AWESOME. Lucky kid you got.

That looks awesome!

Thanks for the positive remarks guys! She does really love it and I got her this toddler GB costume to wear with it.

She loves it

Rock on man, love the idea and the design. Ah, to be young again and my only concern was to rid my basement of the paranormal :wink:

Ha yeah she’s all about busting ghosts already! Makes a father proud.

Well done, sir! I wish my dad was this ingenious back in the old days.

Keep up the good work!

Here’s my daughter’s costume! I’m happy with how the pack turned out and she loves it lol. Thanks for all of the positive comments!

Anybody seen a ghost? lol

My wife just "AWE!"d all over. She looks so adorable! The pack looks great!

Last pic my wife says “And there she goes, making her sound effects.” Great job, man. Kid looks thrilled! :smiley:

That’s sweet! I remember my dad hooking a lightbulb and a 9v battery to a piece of 2x4 using a clothes pin for a switch and I thought it was the greatest thing ever. Too have this would have blown my mind!

Looks awesome!

My daughter had a blast with the costume this year and received many compliments when she was out trick or treating. I know next year ghostbusters will probably be far from her mind, but atleast I got to see her enjoy it this year and that made this the best Halloween ever for me! Thanks for all of the kind remarks everyone! Her custom proton pack will be kept in good shape for her until the day she wants to take it and hopefully keep it as a memory of her old man lol

Now comes the “display case and hanging it on her wall” build! It looked great, man. Glad she had a blast.

Beautiful work buddy!

Thanks guys! I put my all into making it the best that I could without spending a boatload.
