Never had a problem. They have some give to them so nothing can snap off or crack. Parts might bend a little but everything pops back into place.
sorry for the necrobump but…i am an avid ghostbusters fan that is disabled and i’d like to build a pack, trap, meter and or slime blower… one of my disabilitys is dyslexia ps sorry for the crappy grammer and lack of puncuation anyway back to the post bradster is there any possible way i could get clear itemized instructions on how to make all three it’s something i have wanted to do for a long time and i might start the build this year. Please PM me.
Bradster’s thread is always popular around Halloween.. it would have been bumped soon anyway.. LOL!
Somethign to consider, check the dates on his posts… he started this thread back in 2008, and odds are since he was scavenging from dollar stores that do not carry consistant stock, that many of the parts are no longer available.
That said, what you should take away from his builds, is that you can find items reasonably close in size and shape you can use to come up with your own unique props.
I saw what he did, and kept that in mind for our own gear, which we’ve used now for 3 years. Hard to believe its been that long.
Hiya! If you check the bottom of this post in my Signature, you will see some links you can copy/paste that may help. The good thing with this time of year is that the Dollar and craft stores have pretty much all the materials I used in stock because of BBQ and back-to-school time. See if that helps any!
hi, is there a tutorial on how to build the dollar store trap? (if i missed it, my bad) any help would be appreciated. thanks
Everything is listed. Keep in mind the age of this thread so you may have to find alternate parts.
undertstood. thank you so much, however. is their like a video tutorial or introcite steps on how to put it together? thanks so much.
If you read through all of Brady’s posts, you’ll find all the information he made available.
Whats the best way to cut the foam pieces? its not coming out smooth and perfect like in the pics. thanks
A single edge razor blade is always the best way to get clean cuts on foam, or brand new exacto blades. Foam dulls blades very quickly. You can still use them for other projects because they are still very sharp, but for clean foam cuts, you have to change blades frequently.
Wow! This is amazing!! Im gonna use the same method so I can build my own traps for my new show! I hope you don’t mind if I do, don’t wanna steal your thunder and all 
and those grenades look freaking cool! The ooz on the outside give it that super dangerous to handle feel about em, and if you throw one you know your target is in for it 
great job!!
