Hello All! I used to post at the old forums (think it was gbprops or ghostbusters.net) like 10 years ago when I was only 13 years old! Back then I was all crazy about trying to make the props from the films, as best as a 13 year old could do anyhow (I remember trying to make a pack by Norm’s Plans!)
Anyways, my band is playing a Halloween show on Saturday and I needed a costume so I decided Its time to bring back the inner ghostbuster in me.
It was a spur of the moment thing and I basically only had a couple of hours today as a timeframe to make it, but I didnt want it to come out crappy.
I think it came out pretty cool! Followed some of the plans on here for rough measurements. Money was tight for me and I dont really have any powertools so I decided to make the trap out those foamcore presentation board! They already came black which was helpful and they were very easy to cut with a razor blade and straight edge!
I went to the hardware store to buy one of those “for sale” plastic signs to make the side panels, and as I went to grab it from the shelf I noticed the almost near perfect black and yellow striped warning sticker thing, I cant believe it was just chilling there and I found it by accident, almost like it was put on the shelf by someone who knew what I was up to!
Used some old Jenga blocks as supports on the inside and made the handle out of a jenga block and a broomstick handle (going to see how long it takes my mother to noticed I hacked one of her brooms up lol)
I have some awesome knobs to put on but, thats all for today!
