Ghostbusters Prop Storage

they’re easy to work with

I added the feet and am happy that the box can now stand the right direction for display:

I used a single washer between the foot and the metal to make sure the distance was even.

I ended up using left over quarter round to use for mounting the led strip light inside the box. The led strips are in the mail so I’ll wait to mount everything.

I also bought a small piece of 1/4" thick mdf to use as a cover. I need to trim this to fit and paint it black. This will cover the plexiglass and lights inside the box and act as a base for the box foam:

I’m planning on pluck foam so I can semi-customize the storage.

Wish I had a cool place to store my stuff…

My packs in the garage covered in cobwebs and dust. My traps in the closet covered in dust. My MT-500 is in a box in my closet probably covered in dust. My goggles are in another box in the garage full of dust. My PKE is literally laying on the floor in the garage. I need to get everything together and store it in one place and have it on display. Then again, no one ever comes to my house so whats the point :cry:

Just received the led lights from a guy on etsy. 5 12" led strips. My kids had fun watching the different colors - white, red, blue, and green. I think I’ll use a white strip on the red acrylic.

I put the lighting together and installed it in the box. Now I need to cut the plexiglass and install it.

I cut the plexiglass and installed it in the box with heavy duty 3M tape. This should allow me to remove it in the future if I want to change this out. Maybe multiple plexiglas plates for different props…I still need to mount a thin piece of mdf on the back of the plexiglas so the case foam can be installed.

Super impressive. I’d have to have tunes jammin’ from it when it opens. Maybe something like “Magic” by Mick Smiley :slight_smile:

But yeah, I love this!

Ha! That’s a great idea. I did consider having sound but couldn’t figure out a cost effective way to do it. I was thinking that it would be good to have music playing out of it while it’s on display.

Nice Job On This. Keep up the great work. :eduardo: :blush: :whatever:
