Greetings fellow GB fans!

My name is Adam and I’ve been a fan since I was a kid (80’s). I had the RGB toy [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) as a kid and before that I made my own out of a shoebox, shoe string and the extra gun parts from G1 Megatron. I saw GB2 in the theaters and was lucky to see the original one October when they showed it again in theaters.

Im also a prop fan and finally decided to try to get/build the GB props I’ve always wanted. As daunting as it is I would live to build my own pack,(but would accept it if its too much for me l ok l), but first I thought id start small with a [PKE meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter) kit I picked up off the RPF.

Im glad I finally joined, I had lurked on here years before and I look forward to knowing and learning from the fellow enthusiasts here.

Greets from Western NC! I remember getting my [Kenner](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/real-ghostbusters/kenner-10410) [Proton Pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack), back in the day. Can’t remember, but I’m sure I rigged something up before I got it…

Taking up building can be intimidating, but there’s a ton of knowledge to be found here.

Thanks for the welcome guys, I love the pic!

Yea, I have been reading through some of the threads and it is a little intimidating but I think I can do it. The PKE shell I picked up is a venkman71 kit, so I know its a good one. Gonna keep searching but are there any other ready made kits out there besides the hyperdyne?

Thanks again and I can’t wait to start accumulating parts for a pack or thrower after I finish my [PKE meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter).
