Proton Pack (picture heavy)

[Bend001]

Hello,
I have been costuming for just about two years now. Recently I decided to build a Ghostbuster Proton Pack. I am taking some creative liberties on this build, but still keeping most of the build like it was on the movies. the pack will be a combination of both GB1 and GB2.

Pictures to come

Thanks for looking

Painted a few parts, messing around weathering. Like I said above i am taking a few creative liberties, so instead of only using silver I used nickel, bronze and gold in my layering.

here are few more parts for the pack build:

MT-500 radio. not the exact prop used in the movie. but most people wont notice the difference.

LC-1 frame. should be black, but did not like the paint job. stripped off the paint but left, some of the black

This is not the correct suit, I will get one later. Elbow pads pretty close to what was used in the movie:

I mounted the my motherboard to another very nice LC-1 frame that we found at a local swapmeet. I used 3/4 and 1 inch spacers between the frame and the board. I did not like the plane look of the spacers; so I decided to use compression springs to enhance the look of the spacers. I also added brass washers. Not cannon, but looks cool

A few week ago we had a photo shoot with a Ecto 1. Here are a few photos of out local Ghostbuster Group

Nice twist on the pack! I like your personalization!
That car though, what kind of hybrid is it? It looks like a 59 Caddy front clip and rear quarters were put on a mid 80's wagon. Pretty neat execution!

 

[Bend001]

I think it was a 88, the rear quarters were handmade from what I heard. People like taking pictures with it.
