A Ghostbuster Proton Pack replica costume prop I built for a client recently. The main body is a vacuumformed shell, mounted on a wooden board. The pack is 85% accurate to the movie packs (had to cut some corners to keep it under the clients budget.)

I have a tutorial up on how I built the black shell casing for my proton pack. You don't have to vacuumform the shell like I did, you can just make a semi hollow wooden shell, sand the wood grain smooth, then paint with 3-4 layers of black paint (flat black or satin.) :)

What are the inaccuracies? I haven't researched the differences.

The shell itself has some measurement issues with the boxy looking shapes, and the rib numbering is wrong on the Top box and the Left (Blue power meter) box. There is no Aluminium plate with brass rod attached to the top of the Ion Arm. I have a copper tube sticking out of the Ion Arm wall where all that should be, so at least I attempted to have something there. The particle wand is missing the Mounting plate on the bottom of it,a s well as a couple detail pieces on the front grip. The cyclotron bumper shock is the wrong size. It should be much smaller in diameter, and taller in height. Couple more minor things as well, but those are the main details.

I gotcha. Still, it looks fantastic. One of these days, I'll do a 100% accurate pack.

I encourage you to take that on! Nothing is as awesome as finishing a Proton Pack to your level of expectation... Nothing! :)
