If they’re accurate enough I’m sure people would be interested. Just be sure and get a supporting membership and start an interested thread in the for sale section if you want to try selling them.
Yea I plan on getting a membership as soon as all the legal battles and can get back to work (legal reasons keep me from working) as soon as the fab shop gets a cone goin ill put up pics ASAP and have you guys give me input for the fab guys
Well after a long long LONG time in the making, finally starting to take more shape. Total money invested thus far is just shy of $100 bucks, and hours totaling just around 50. So I think this is more of a budget pack than anything. However I think its really close for a budget pack, and yes I do realize I’m missing decals, lights, cone, and heatsinks. So any and all comments are welcome.
Well an old friend of mine whom likes ghostbusters, he wants to buy this pack off of me even though its not screen accurate… So my question to gbfans is… What kinda price tag would you fellas put on this budget pack?
that’s a lot better than most budget proton packs ive seen. those id say, no more than cost of materials. mostly because almost all budget packs are glued electrical boxes and bucket tops or are covered in duct tape there is no valuable invested time. will not argue that because it’s a fact. hot gluing electical boxes or covering something entirely in black duct tape is an afternoon worth of time.
tough call. start with cost of materials and work your way up with time invested.
Thnx proton charger… Its nice to know that this lil budget pack project i thought looked good really does look ok to some who has alot of gb prop experience, also thank u for giving me an idea for the price for him. I dont know if i really wanna sell it now, maybe just have him pay for parts and ill build him one.
dont think i dont like your slime blower, because i totally do. i just dont think it’s as easy to price a budget slime blower than it is to price a budget proton pack. i can tell you have more time invested than just an afternoon.
there’s no way id make a slime blower though. i just dont have any room.
Hey, an Iowa guy! You wouldn’t happen to know a guy named Brian who works at the Ottumwa Menards?
Anyways, that’s a pretty sweet slime blower you got so far. I’d love to see you finish it, but I hope whoever wants to buy it can continue with the great work on it.
lol proton charger: Sorry if I made it sound like I didnt think you liked it actually Im very happy you do like it cuz you have much more prop experience then i do.
MandoMan: No I havent had the privaliage to meet him yet but a buddy of mine named shawn who is also a ghosthead is friends with him and wants us to meet… Plus i wanna see this sweet ecto of his… Maybe all of us can get a good Iowa franchise goin lol plus was just in des moines this weekend for a weeding lol
UPDATE
I have decided not to sell lol… However there was a problem with the left intake box and slime sight bulb. When being transported to a local fabricator for measurements, the intake box and sight bulb broke off due to being hot glued. I know I know hot glue bad. Since that little incident I used a two part epoxy, seems to hold up much much better. Now on to the big business at hand, the fabricator that is doing this cone for me called I went to see the cone (sorry forgot camera in all the excitment). It still needs a little tweaking but not too shabby. Once it is done I will put up pics for all to see, and if interested I can get anyone in contact with the gentleman doing the work. I WILL NOT be selling the item directly, just getting everyone in touch with him. Also he is considering making other componets of the slime blower pack ie. intake boxes, sight bulb, and quite possibly the smaller tanks and the gun and cone all in one piece, if anyone thinks thats what they want. Just let me know so I can give him a heads up on what everyone wants. I suppose if the stuff is up to grade A par I could just get AJ in touch with him so theres not alot of confusion and problems.
