Ghostbusters

Ghostbuster & Dana Barrett

Peter Venkman (Classic)

For Pete Venkman, I modified the Mattel neutrino wand to sync up with the lights on a homemade proton pack. The pack was made of foam over beaverboard, with a baking tin, floppy disc case, Pringles tube, PVC pipe, wood trim, etc. The elbow pads were dyed grey. The electronics board was thrown together with random recycled junk. The radio was puchased.

Ghost Trap

The trap was purchased (Rubies) and modified with 3D printed parts and bought parts (8 pic octal relay, ribbon cable, etc). The trap slide switch was replaced with a toggle switch. The pedal spring's black flexible casing was made by sculpting the form in plastilene, then painting tinted latex over it until it was thick enough to remove the plastilene mold.

Ghostbusters 2016 PKE Meter

PKE Meter (2016)

I made a PKE meter for some friends, starting with Chris420's 3D model but modifying the interior, sides and back with my own design to better reflect the original and so I could also add a lighted viewscreen, rotating lighted antenna, batteries, switches and a sound card.
