Once i was 13 or 14 i made my first [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) following norm’s plans i think… This is my first attemp to remake a GB prop since… i’m now 24 ! Here is my [Ghost Trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap) ! Please leave your comments or whatever. ■■ ! and i put it on sale on ebay… The Trap itself come appart in 2 pieces like in the movie… for the doors they do open… but they are not made to be. the pedal is not fully fonctional as well… I started this project last friday ( May 18th ) and finish it yesterday… i would say it took me… At leat 24 hours to get it completly done… and the nice thing about it… i didn’t have to look around a long time to fin the right material to make it since i own a factory here and have been able to take pieces on different machines we own !!! So i have one or two machine now working without buttons or lights ! LOL ! So i’ll be wainting for you comments ! Cheers ! ---

yes i put tape on the handle… don’t know why i did it bu it definately gives more grip! yes, i own the second biggest footwear factory in canada… i know… i’m young… but what do you want… it’s a long story anyway. FREE FOTWEAR FOR EVERYONE !!! just kidding… i made a lot of progress this week-end with my second fully working trap… ( i won’t put tape on the handle ! ) But yesterday i found the system to open / close my doors… the open in a POP and close in a POP as in the movie ( i don’t use a servo… to much innappropiate noise and to much time…!!! very clever system… My concern now is the control… i don’t know how to adapt this to a foot pedal… curently i’m woring it with a three step switch. up it opens, down it close the doors… i would need a push button that can inverse the polarity when i re press it to close the doors… if you have a system for that push button tell me ! then it’s going to be for the smoke system… i wont use a smoke generator for small train cause i bought the most powerfull they had and it’s not enought… so i went to my magic shop and found soomething that should work… just wainting for the order to come in… i’ll post new pictures soon ! ---
