Ah! Ya threw me off with the mix in if the radio shack parts! 
I looked all over for that tire shine thing today.. no luck, but I DID manage to spend $80 or so anyway.. LOL!
BTW Radio shack lights.. do they flash, and how much.
BTW, striped tape.. where did you find it? Neither lowe’s, home depot, or walmart had any here, as well as various party and halloween stores.
Yup, jus a few little optional bits not from a dollar store. The Proton Pack is the same way. The light is a little kit from Radio Shack that does blink. I think it was $4. The tape can be found via the internet or places/stores that sell “Warning” supplies and signs. I’ve even seen it a few times at places that sell hospital supplies. It was just left over from my Ecto Mobile so I used it on the Trap.
Cool.. think I’ll have to go the painted yellow striped with electric tape method for the warning tape.
I pick up stuff for my own granades yesterday.. 3/4 " pvc pipe (10 feet for $4), some 34 cent parts to plug into the ends, eyelets for the “pulls”, and I picked up a bag of various key rings at walmart yesterday to make the eyelets look more like real pulls (finger sized)
I’m toying with either the screw belt attachement method, or coming up with some hook for them so they can hang from the belt and be removed.
Oh! For tops to them, red walmart 2 liter cola bottle caps can’t be beat!
Bradster, here’s my “take” on your ghost grenades…
Cool!!! Great job! It’s little touches like that, that will make your suit and equipment really stand out from the “store bought” people.
Thanks.. beyond this, I’m also going to make up some warning labels for them as well. Plus I noticed we assembled one upside down, so the top edge of the pvc needs painting. I also ned to add silver weathering to them as well, and might add some blackwash “staining”.
Ok…first of all, I LOVE the trap. It’s like a Super-Trap or something.
Secondly, both sets of Proton Grenades are very cool.
You guys are inspiring.
at first i was like whoa…how affordable…then I remembered that mine cost $0 …at this point, i suppose I should be laughing all the way to the bank. anyways—nice trap big guy.
We ended up with enough crap hanging off our belts, and didn;t even use the proton grenades.
Also, we found a way to wrap some wire around the top, and loop it behind them, so they can hang from a belt, and are removable.
FATTRAP!
Seriously Brady, your craftsmanship with found items never ceases to amaze me. Great work!
Excellent excellent work.. You inspire my friend.
Thanks! Now it’s your turn to make something!
I love the grenades, with the goo on the outside which makes them not only look “homebrew” but makes them look awesome!
I like the idea of a small trap too, its like a trap you might use for smaller ghosts.. small free roaming vapors, and save the regular size trap for the big baddies
I think, but I’m not sure, that my Trap is a tad bigger than a “normal” Trap. Then again I’m not sure since I’ve never seen another Trap in person.
Hey Brad.. all your pic links are busted now!
Ya… I apparently went over my monthly bandwidth limit due to my life-size Shuttlecraft. I tried to get my ISP to reset my limit since Ive been a customer for 14 years, but they wont do it. Im slowly moving my stuff to PhotoBucket, so my pics wont be up until at least Thursday…
Ack.. and of course now you can;t edit old posts here to replace the image links..
Made this…hopefully it helps?
Very well detailed!
How well do the foam pieces hold up hanging from your belt?
