So, sometime around the beginning of the year someone put on Ghostbusters for my son and he was instantly obsessed. We had to watch both movies every day for about 6 months. I decided I was going to try and find one of the old [Kenner](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/kenner-10410) [Proton packs](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) for him for his birthday. While searching for one I started running across all the custom builds people had done and one from a guy the made a 1/2 scaled one for his son [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzcJ1clL8SQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzcJ1clL8SQ). I figured I could come up with something similar. So, I found this site and got to work! ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/1/c194dc0114edd1fa3b5e72e93e24aedb1f4316c7.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/7/a/7a8011e089c714dad9c525006b7bf9912f5dc656.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/a/1af23650b6bee03bc59099d41ddfe53f9c161198.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/c/acb2e38c40df20c34d6515ef15d45656cc4957f3.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/7/0/7038e69ce16d74319e7c572716aa7598f2fa7184.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/5/3/53c3670c330ffc93cb2d04f5a43dff05cafb6486.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/e/ce793f5ac5896939205c3ace9c49d53800177cfe.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/a/ca0f196ab213e25a23a3db55e94b4dcb9570cbef.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/e/c/ecc59eba1763e4c623f4a4ec61aec4a8899807fd.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/6/3/63bcaaaf805bb51d64ed2ffd99d38c96db482781.jpeg) ---

It’s been done since Aug. 1. I’m just a slacker and waited until now to start posting the pics. Will have the rest and a video up in just a few. ---

This thing was so awesome to see in person! You, sir, are so modest about it. I can’t articulate how geeked out we were to see this thing in action. Superb work! ---

I hate myself for missing this… I walk away from the table for like 10 minutes, and I come back to Hijacker and vbvabuster telling me that I just missed you guys, and started showing me cellphone pics of your kid… You did an amazing job! ---

Your kid looks fantastic in the costume. I really think you should sell casts of this equipment so other ghostbuster dads can do this for their kids
