EvilRocketeer here…Been a huge ghostbusters fan since I was a kid…I been collecting rocketeer for several years now, and decided to get my feet wet by building my very own [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) before i retire collecting all together…

How did i FIND OUT about this cool website? well, Vinny

I’ll pass on the cannoli, but hopefully will see you and the others this saturday at the anaheim con…it definitely sounds like fun…

…ProtonCharger…Im guessing you are Mr Spyder??? I am glad to be here too. Growing up as a kid. i ALWAYs wanted two props…a rocketpack from the rocketeer and a [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) from GB1. Hopefully, i CAN have one fully made by the end of this year…

Yeah no problem with the help…let me know if you have anymore questions regarding the rocketpack

> im making a rocketeer jet pack and helmet.
> ive been working on this project since april last year. i saw there was a jet pack and helmet kit floating around, but it was too expensive. i came here a few times for reference on my project and a friend...

i pestered you for the helmet’s fin width.

ive been wanting to make a new one more accurate than the one i have now, but i dont have near as many resources to making a rocket pack(no measurements, just “ideas”), let alone CADing one for paper modelers. given the opportunity to model one in 3d(like i did the [proton packs](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack)) accurately would be really great for every finhead.
