Hello to all,

Pogo here. I’ve been messing with props since I was in high school in the mid 90’s. I found a prop book in the public library that I liked, and it got me interested in prop work.

I’ve been on the RPF (long before the Russian hack), [CT.net](http://CT.net) (long before Marcus mistakenly deleted everything), TDH since 2004, 501st member since 2005, and more or less started the process for Star Garrison Texas Gulf Coast Squad in 2017ish/2018ish. I forget.

Ghostbusters has always had a soft spot in my heart. I saw the first movie as a kid in Texas City, Texas at the Tradewinds Theater. Think I was 6 at the time. My son saw the movie a few times over the years. But it was not until [Afterlife](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/ghostbusters-afterlife) came out that he saw one in the theater. Totally different experience.

Fast forward many, many years. I’ve been retired from the military for about 4 years. Slowed down my 501st trooping. Just kind of lost the “want” and desire in props. I’m sure the rona had something to do with it.

My young son and I were messing around on YouTube last December. Ran across the Tested channel where they were building a trap. I hear “Dad you have a printer”, and since then we have been printing, and reprinting parts. I’ve always wanted to build a trap. Wanted to build a pack, but that trap.lol

Trying to print most parts in ABS but had to tweak the printer just right which took some time. I’ve never printed in ABS so that was a learning process. Then I see you can buy aluminum parts, and lights. If I’m going to have a wall hanger at work, it’s going to look and feel as real as I can get it.

SO, I won’t be posting much, but ill be doing my research before I ask questions. I’ve been doing this long enough to know the answer is on here someplace.
