I just started my first trap last night 😊 I’ll upload a couple “ugly” pics now, hopefully the next set of pics will be alot prettier. 🙂

Just finished the first couple coats of black and yellow, now I need to do some touching up and then add on the exterior stuff.

Yeah, I just really want one to wear with my uniform for Halloween. When I have some more time and more importantly more money, I’ll be building a better one, but this works for now.

that’s exactly what I made mine for…I’m gonna ATEMPT a floral foam [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) in few minutes here!!!

I also made [ecto goggles](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-ecto-goggles).

I’d love to see your whole costume when you’re done!

Mine is kind of a foamcore, lol. I didn’t follow any of the plans on here ☹ Though I probably should have, but it’s worked out so far. Let me know how the pack comes out, that’s probably going to be my next project, either that or [ecto goggles](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-ecto-goggles).

For being foam core it’s good!

the pack is done…its…I’m embarrassed to show you LOL

I made the gun too…I made it out of posterboard and duct tape LOL

(It’s more like a stage prop than an actual thing)

My [ecto goggles](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-ecto-goggles) are what I’m most proud of.

You should try doing the pack!!!
