:sigh: [\*]Ok, here goes nothing. I’m 30 years old newbie, at least when it comes to the ghost buster prop building. I tried to make a quick and cheap [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) last year for halloween, it looked ok and fell apart in a matter of hours. Moving on: I have been a fan of Ghostbusters since I was a taller-than-average-yet-still-short kid. I loved the movies and the cartoon (it never did bother me that the cartoon had a different look to the characters.) I didn’t think much of the franchise for years after until [the video game](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/ghostbusters-the-video-game) came out last year. While playing, I was having the time of my life and thought “I bet I’ll look good in that uniform.” And this it began… Other than that, I’m your average starving artist/geek. I watch more cartoons than I should. I pay my bills by working as a merchandiser rep for Motorola phones, have a very supporting wife (who, may I add, thinks this is the coolest hobby she’s ever ever heard of) all while residing in Utah. ---

I’m also in Utah, part of the Ghostbusters of Salt Lake, welcome aboard. Great to see more Utah Ghostheads and you have an awesome wife. Maybe we’ll see you around. ---

Thanks man! Yeah she is very cool. Most women I know wouldn’t put up with half as much geekiness as she has and I love her for it! On another note, that is one fantastic pack you made there! ---
