Hi im 16 and a huge ghostbusters fan and the only one i know in central alberta i have decided im going to build things in this order Pack Suit Trap Current phase Pack Im building a pack using norms plans and i am wondering if any one has built a pack with a trap mount like the RGB ones. My pack is built in a low cost low budget way with me having spent nothing on it yet using stuff around my schools shop. im using a basic hiking frame of the back pack i bought for a school camping expodition and havent touched since and the wood for the [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) was scrap. il update this with pics when availble ---

Sounds cool homie! Can’t wait to see your [Proton Pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack)! Just a rule of thumb, I recommend not to NOT to use foam for the [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron)! I did and something bad happened…don’t want to talk about it though. :? But hey since you have access to your schools shop, you should be able to make one from wood. 8) ---

I printed off norms plans but where does it say anything about foam i see refrences to putty,styrine…but nothing about the foam im afraid. and plastic turn tables not wood…Better question since il be buying stuff for this on friday (payday) what are they and where can i get these plastic turntables? ---

Sorry i meant, the [Synchronous Generator](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/synchronous-generator). I never took that good of a look at those plans before. I looked at the one for the [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron), and I did see the thing about the rim for it, my only suggestion, if ya can’t fine that “turntable” cut a piece of cardboard in to a circle and use that for the rim, just use gorilla glue and glue it to the cake pan. 🙂 Honestly, a cake pan already has a “rim”. Another tip, I would say _just_ go with the cake pan, for the cyclotron. If you even need more help on parts go here, [Wiki - GBFans.com | GBFans.com](http://www.gbprops.com/wiki/) ---

i went with a cake pan…and meticulously pounded out the rim with a hammer…came out fine, though. you can see pics if you want under props / [proton packs](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack). ---

Cool thanks I just got the mother board and next I’m going to spray paint [the other side](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/publications/comics/ghostbusters-the-other-side) then attach it to my frame which isn’t an Alice frame unfortunately. ---

Heres the [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) and my frame (not Alice) I’m going to use some home insulation Styrofoam stuff along the edges to hide the size of the pack frame. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/2X/5/555836456495701fdff784265bd56c653090a655.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/2X/0/05a2df9f74f63e55114f99743861bbd074c0870b.jpeg) Here I am with some of my uniform that I’ve pulled together so far. As well as the proton back held on to the frame with 8 zip ties. ---

If you wanted to get an Alice frame, you could probably find one on Ebay for not much at all.
