My fellow Ghostbusters, I’m making my protn pack out of cardboard, plastic, and tubing of course. I want to make mine light up and sounds. I know there will be some wiring skill needed for that. But any tips and tricks on how to do that? please help me

Well thank you 🙂 There was a member from the UK who recently made an amazing scratch build, you should be able to find it in the pack section 😉
