Looking to build a trap.

The_Roach_On_Twelve · June 29, 2009, 7:29pm

Is there any beginning to end list of supplies, steps and detailing?

Any help would be appreciated.

He beat me to it. Seans plans should give you an idea if what you will need for material and parts.

The_Roach_On_Twelve · June 29, 2009, 9:00pm

Those look like awesome plans but do they have measurements?

hooker · June 29, 2009, 9:07pm

Sean’s plans do.

The_Roach_On_Twelve · June 29, 2009, 9:10pm

Could I use whatever materials I want with his design?

hooker · June 29, 2009, 9:12pm

You can use whatever material you would like as long as you keep thickness in mind.

The_Roach_On_Twelve · June 29, 2009, 9:18pm

What do you guys recommend?

aj-quick · June 29, 2009, 9:24pm

Wood.

And the plans I linked can be printed out at full scale for the measurements I think.

Otherwise I suggest searching the topics that are already here. They should be able to answer most of your questions.

Foamcore works wonders aswell. It is light weight and cheap

The_Roach_On_Twelve · June 29, 2009, 9:47pm

Foam core?

How do you get it the right thickness?

Nerdy_NotionZ · June 29, 2009, 9:51pm

It comes in different sizes. You shouldnt have any prob with the thickness.

i built my pack out of it. really easy to work with.

The_Roach_On_Twelve · June 29, 2009, 10:00pm

Would I be able to get it at a hobby store?

How about an adhesive? Model glue?

Nerdy_NotionZ · June 29, 2009, 10:33pm

You can get it at any hobby store, art store, hell, even wal-mart has it.

XD

I used hotglue on my pack, and I will use it for my game trap as well.

The_Roach_On_Twelve · June 29, 2009, 10:34pm

Sweet.

How about decals?

is there a templet or a high res pic?

Oh FYI,

My GF owns a screnprinting business so thats another thing I can bring to the site.

Nerdy_NotionZ · June 29, 2009, 10:40pm

A fast search on ebay for Ghostbusters - Ghost Trap Decals Set brought up a few

The_Roach_On_Twelve · June 29, 2009, 10:43pm

Awesome!

How much should all this cost?

Nerdy_NotionZ · June 29, 2009, 11:02pm

You should only need one sheet of the foamcore to make the trap. - 5$

Some PVC for the handle - $2

Paint - $4/$6

Hotglue gun (duel temp is best) - $10

Hot glue sticks - $3

Lights are a whole different story. Cant help you with that one just yet.

Charlie_Richter · June 29, 2009, 11:22pm

Hprops have all sorts.

Foam Core is great. Zander here pointed me this way aswell.
