This pack has long been in the making. It is the typical example of the packs used by the Arizona Ghostbusters. We have several members with years of propmaking and machining experience and they put their efforts and time together to make the masters, molds, and aluminum parts for our packs. With their help I was able to construct my pack.

All parts have been cast in black resin except for the crank knob which was cast in grey resin. Aluminum parts include the gun rings, handle tubes, trigger tip, motherboard, ion knob, ion bar, gun box door, gun track, arrow box door, gun knobs, track disks, and v-hook. Other real parts include the elbows, straights, LED caps, and resistors. Pack lights are from Proptronix. The gun handles and motherboard were covered in black powdercoating. All pack stickers are on weatherproof vinyl. New details found like the 15th costmetic plate were added to the masters before the molds were completed. The shell was broken down to the gearbox, costmetic plating spacer, cyclotron base, cake pan, and the N-filter is removable.

I have a few future add-ons planned including setting up the front gun handle to twist, the foam padding across the top of the motherboard, real clippards, the injector tube L-bracket, and a Proptronix gun kit. Many layers of primer and paint were used. I am not a fan of weathering but the aluminum parts are naturally weathering on their own and I'll leave those alone. The gun was knocked off my pack at a con so I still need to re-adjust a few parts on there back to how they were originally. I have a set of the rub down wand stickers I will eventually put on.

My camera died at the beginning of the build so I only have some bad camera pics till I just got a new camera last week.

WOW , a Proton Pack tutorial

Oh, man, this is the best and coolest custom made Proton Pack I ever saw, wish I could make one like that.

The close up pics are AWESOME, Thanks

Dude, if i had a extra 500 bux, i would send your ass a check and hav you buikld one for me, no lights or sounds, just a proton pack JUST so i can say i got one lol....and if ihad the extra money, id send it to ya to build me one and you could put some of the momey to a charity lol, he its a good way to make charity money lol

Thanks. This is the 4th pack I've had and I'm sure it's not the last but I'm very happy with it and will be more so when I finish the little things. I only did the prep work on the parts and about half the assembly. Luckily my teammates have built several over the years and I learned alot from them to help other new members. We plan just to make the pack parts for our new members to help the molds last as long as possible. Making the molds was the most expensive part of the process. I can say we built our entire packs for what you'd spend just to get a shell or gun kit from someone, but that's because we didn't have to pay the extra people charge.

wow pretty cool, i really wish i could build one dude, really

How much would you ask on eBay if you had to sell one?

I've never thought about it cause we never plan to sell one. Most good packs go for at least $1000. Usually one with sound and light kits almost $2000. I could only guess somewhere in that range.
