Every summer, as a newly made tradition, I ask my daughter what she wants to be for Halloween. This way I can get a head start on any props or costumes that need to be made. This year she wants to be a Ghostbuster which means that I get to build a friggin' Proton Pack! I am thrilled at the challenge to say the least!
At the moment I know of two different challenges to this build; the first is the weight of the pack. It has to be as lightweight as possible and secondly I am going to try to add something that glows for the laser on the Proton's laser which will be attached to a ghost. Wish me luck!
As I was doing research in building a replica Proton Pack I stumbled upon this nifty tutorial which reveals a fantastic way of making one on your own. 
I'm going to go ahead and keep posting updates on my Proton Pack Project for anyone who is interested in following along or is searching for information on how to build one on your own.
