The pack looks amazing! It is very authentic to the look of the original movie packs. If I had this video a few years ago, I would have happily done this, instead of buying a vacuformed shell and all the associated bits and bobs for my proton pack.
This is added to my list of "gonna make this one day!!" Looks good. I sure hope you and your family are doing good and whatever "came up" is something good for you all!
Thank you.
@@LostWax can I buy one from you? If so how much would it cost. Thanks!
Same here
@@shozinryu4 just make it yourself it's more fun
This is soo good. I made an EVO/Floor foam Ghost trap a few years ago and this make me want to make a complete pack that way.
You cant go wrong with Chris he's a genius at this stuff, I invested in his plans book and from a creative standpoint its one of the best investments I've made. Great stuff! Love how he makes rivets from 2 part epoxy so simple yet so realistic. 😜👍👍
Simply amazing. I’m going to Comic-Con as a ghostbuster and this was an absolute life-saver! Thanks!
Glad I could help!
You are a legend. Impeccable work.
Wow, thanks!
Looks great! Awesome paint job! Also legit impressed you made your own ribbon cable. That's something you don't see every day... ;)
I was originally trying to find an old grey printer cable, but no one has them around anymore. I'm glad they didn't cause this has a better vibe anyways!
Just stumbled across these vids. AMAZING!!!
minus the elevator music your videos are always great !!!
I spend so little time in elevators nowadays, I just need to get my fix:) Maybe I should install one in my house....
Wow, wow…WOW. I am at a loss for words. I scratch built a pack from wood years ago, and this is one of the most impressive builds I’ve seen. I want to try this for sure.
Wow, thank you!
I have seen this video about 10 times already and still find it interesting which means I love this channel!!!
I'm in the process of making my own scratch built pack as well, and my gOD your DIY ribbon cable is gonna save me SO much moolah!
Buy his plans book it is one of the best creative investments you'll ever make.
"I did" and everything it offers will fill your
Your creative world with endless possibilities. Top Notch stuff! 😜👍👍
Yeah, that is the only DIY ribbon cable that looks good that I've ever seen. Will 100 percent be using that technique
That was very cool! You should consider a job in the movies. This project has inspired me to want to make two for my young son and I for Halloween. Please continue with the wand video whenever you can. I'd still like to see your results. Thanks!
Another great video for a cheap Proton Pack. Though you got quite creative with a number of the brass and angled fittings, there are still a lot of alternate read-made parts that one would find in the plumbing section of a hardware store that work just perfectly.
Also, if you wanted a more 'true' paint chipping method, you could first paint the entire pack (or just the main areas you need) a silver colour, then use a masking medium like liquid latex or toothpaste to mask off the chipped areas of the pack. Such as along edges and ridges that would get the most wear and tear. Then paint the entire pack black. Once dried, simply rub/wipe the spots you masked and you will reveal the silver underneath. Makes for a more realistic chipped paint look.
That's a great idea for the paint chipping, I'll have to give it a try!
So very excited about this. Ben Eadie had been talking about making a foam version because the ones made with fiberglass and aluminum are so heavy. But you beat him and it looks fantastic! Definitely won't be attempting this before Halloween but maybe I can get one done before NEXT Halloween. Might try to add lights and sounds. Amazing as always!
Thanks Traci! Yep, you'd have to build fast for this Halloween!
Yeah. I’ve got about half of my pack made before I saw your last video…thinkin’ Im gonna switch to making yours from here on out…it’ll be like a…foam/metal/mdf/WTF proton pack. I’m here for it.
Thanks again for an absolutely stellar and refreshingly creative tutorial. 🙌🍻
Hehe, sounds perfect! Whatever works:)
This is tremendous! Thank you so much. Can’t wait to start building
Have fun!
I need the 3rd part, this is brilliant!
Yeah, it's a bit slow coming, but I'm working on it!
Absolutely awesome - thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
If you keep a small recipient with water nearby you can dip your fingers into it and smooth out hot glue to a _wonderful smooth finish_ and it is even easier on your fingers too!
I gotta try that out.
Incredible work, wow!
Such clean work, looks incredible. You found some awesome tricks that I never would have thought of to make some of those obscure parts.
Glad it was helpful!!
Thanks I’ve been trying to build one of these for years
You're welcome, I hope it helps!
This is amazing, you did a fantastic job!!! I built a proton pack years ago out of wood, foam, and junk and it's pretty heavy, but I might make this one for a lighter feel, thanks man!!!
You're welcome!

Can wait to see the finals steps!!! And don´t worry it wont be for Halloween. Better release great final version when you ready! Congratulations!
In September i build one but is too heavy. This is perfection.
Glad you like it!
You should do a trap and pedal too
Wow, amazing, I love it ! : o
You think this pack could work with the Hasbro Plasma Series neutrona wand?
Im ALMOST to this video #2 on "my sons" Proton Pack (in reality he's going have to sign it out everytime he wants to play with it). Im going to use an old ruck frame so dont need that.. I really really hoping you're still doing a Neutrona wand!!
Yep, the video just went up!
Well then, the ghost hunting can start 😁😁😅
Wow
amazing...
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic execution of information as well as practical supplies,kinda reminded me of The King of Random ,P.S. that bicycle ride made me laugh 😂, new subcriber here👍👍
Glad the bike ride made you laugh. It was quite a workout:)
Will it work with a 1mx1m 10mm eva foam?
Can I ask why the epoxy for certain parts instead of the glue gun? Is it simply a case of what will bond best to the materials, ie epoxy for anything with metal or plastics but all foam seems to be glue-gun primarily? Thanks in advance!
Yep, that's pretty much it, hot glue doesn't stick well to metal especially, and some plastics aren't that great either.
@@LostWax Thanks for the reply, good to know! And I've bought the Ultimate Everything Super Value Pattern Bundle already - AMAZING value. Can't wait to build this with my son who is nearly 5 after we finish another project - sorry I couldn't wait for the Proton Pack to be added so cheekily grabbed that too! This is such a good entry into the world of building along with cardboard for young (and young-at -heart) makers. Thanks so much!
Do you think you could use spray paint or do you recommend acrylic paint?
I find that acrylic gives a bit more texture, which somehow makes it easier to apply the metallics without getting marks that look like fingerprints. But that being said, I haven't done tons of experimenting with spray paint.
This is amazing! I'm anxiously awaiting your neutrino wand video. I'm curious what you'll be using for the clear tube
...so am I.....
I’m excited to start this build, I have a question. Would you suggest spray painting the pack or just paint it as you did in the video? Thanks
I'm not a fan of using regular spray paint, it just gives such thin coverage, it's hard to add the worn silver antiquing on top of it. If you want to spray it, you could use plastic-dip, it gives a rubbery coating that is great. Just make sure to not breathe it in when you are doing it!
Well done! a great guide to making an inexpensive and effective proton pack! One question: are you planning to make a guide also on the creation of the Spengler neutrino wand?
I hope so!
At 07:44 what is that item you are cutting to use for the wiring? I want to use that for my own Proton Pack I'm building. Thanks 👍🏾
That's a piece of tubing that used to be commonly used for sinks, like between the valve where the water comes in and the tap. You could also use something like the tube from a pen or any other small tubing you can find.
so, would a particle thrower maybe be in the works?
That's the plan. I just finished the pack frame so that video will drop tomorrow. Then on to the wand......
Can I buy one from you please!!!!!!!!!
Tengo una duda como se descargan las plantillas planos por favor ayuda 😢
Very awesome!! Just wondering how much time was put into making this 🤔very well detailed , damn!! 👊😎
It's too hard to know, because I am adapting the pattern and filming at the same time, it takes me waaaay longer than it would take building straight off the pattern.
Any reason not to use actual ribbon cable? I have a big reel of it in the shed.
If you have a big reel, use it! That's fantastic. No other reason not to use it, just that I couldn't find any easily.
Amazing job... sell me this please lol
When is part 3 coming!
I would love to make this, but I’m just concerned about how well it would last since it’s just foam. Do you think it would have a good shelf life?
EVA foam is actually pretty durable. As far as shelf life, it'll last for years on a shelf:) The main thing is to store it where it won't get squished, or too hot, ad those will deform it. Other than that, it'll be fine.
We want part 3
Part 3 just dropped: bit.ly/alicepackframe
I have a pack but its beat to heck and prob weighs about 35 lbs i need to make your pack asap
Do it!
If you do make those ten more proton packs, I'll take a couple off your hands. lol
Just kidding. Good job
😁
can you make a addon template for the experimental pack from "ghostbusters the videogame"
Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have time for that....
alright
WHERE CAN I GET YOUR PLANS BOOK?…….
You can find all my patterns here: www.lostwaxoz.com/shop
For me 6:10
If i showed my friends this they would think i bought the real filmed one
WTF?!? Where is video nr 1?!? Yt 🤬😡🤬
ua-cam.com/video/kbHYg0JAm3U/v-deo.html
Thanks! Turns out I'm the idiot..
@@veronica5896 no you're not, was an easy mistake to make when focusing on something else.
@@GoreHoundFX Thanks! That's really kind of you to say =)
@@veronica5896 no worries you're welcome!!
I'm sure the cast of the original films would had loved to have this light weight packs while they were filming the non action moments. I really would love to either make one of these or even buy them done. The quality is just outstanding ❤️👍
I'm with you
would be nice if he took commissions
Great build! :) Paint job looks amazing. I tried finding the pattern in the Ultimate Everything Super Value Bundle i bought, but it wasn't there. No problem though as i later saw it was a free pattern on its own. Nice of you to share it with everyone :)
Glad you found it! Sorry if that was a bit confusing!
The ribbon cable part.... DUDE!!!!!!! What a great way to do this
Glad you like it Ben! I thought it was a neat idea too.
Neat!?!? It's genius!
@@DreadMakerRoberts Okay.... it's genius.
Would it work to untwine the pairs and use single cables too?
Love this build, excellent choice for the busters with back problems :)
Okay, so you _did_ mention the Neutrino Wand, so you _do_ have plans to make that. Good. Great.
Glad I watched to the end _before_ saying you had forgotten the gun part of the proton pack.
Not forgotten, I'm just slow:)
for anyone asking what this tube is at 7:41 . its a sdr 11 hose
It’s builds like these that make me realize how inept I am. Fantastic job
Looks awesome, man! Definitely going to be building this.
Chris is an amazing fabricator of craft foam, I've made several of his creations. a Steampunk'd Dr. plague mask, top hat & goggles, a pair of his & hers steampunk'd gas masks, and verything came out awesome, I've even taken this knowledge and modified some items at my job to give them a steampunk look, my boss actually loves how they look. I definitely recommend buying his guide which includes plans of everything Chris has made over the years, I did and from a creative standpoint its one of the best investments I've made. Chris is definitely a funny & Goofy guy but a genius at recreating steampunk'd items as well as movie props. If you're a creative person you can't go wrong with this purchase. Definitely top notch stuff! 😜👍👍
@@jackvolta3489 he definitely knows his stuff. Going to have to look into getting his book
@@shanedemink2966 It's well worth the $$ you won't be sorry Shane, besides that if you buy his collection, everytime Chris comes out with a new idea, because you bought his stuff, you get it sent to you for free definitely an add-on that keeps coming. 😎👍
Never been so early in a comment
Nice work!!
Thank you so much for these tutorials. I made a proton pack following them. I e-mailed you photo’s of the result. Did you get them?
Can you tell us about the Twinkie… I mean the T Rex Tape? I don’t see it in the video description, or mentioned on your website’s “Materials/Tools Used” page. Thanks!
That's a cool way to make stickers!
How much money do you think is invested in the completed proton pack? I'd like to start one but I am on a budget, too.
i really hate to ask this but what is the outer diameter of the gray pluming connecter pipe thing
My pack is a little over 40lbs. Which is why this build is definitely my next project.
Holy moly!!! I'm wondering how much you've spent on materials so far... even though you go to thrift stores for some stuff...
Love this so much! I've wished to have a proton pack since I was 5, now with Afterlife I was thinking of actually getting one for a full cosplay. Just got the pattern from your store (with a very little donation, hoping to donate more to you soon :)) and will start working on this ASAP! Thanks a lot!
Aww, that's so cool, time to make those 5 year old dreams come to life❤️
if you were to add the electronics to the foam pack would it catch fire because if it does not then i might build ome myself
WOW!!! Ok this is amazing and as a HUGE Ghostbusters fan without a pack, this is how I will finally do it. I can't wait to follow the rest of the build. I have the wand already from Mattel and the Spengler’s Neutrona Wand, so I might use one of those instead of building it from scratch.
Snap!!! I have the Spengler wand too, I just finished cutting out all the pieces and sanded tonight. Glue commencing tomorrow. I may have to use other things for some parts, and I am having major problems finding the pipes for some reason.
Hi guys, did you get the hasbro wand to fit?! is the foam stable enough?!
What size was the clamp you used? I've found something similar but in different sizes
if you pause this in the first two seconds you get the greatest picture ever... Sorry just being drunk!
A free template? Are you... a god?
Pretty sure I'm not:)
Do you think you could add the hasbro neutrona wand to it????
You're a Legend! My Eva foam is due by Tuesday 6mm thick Hugh density. Hope 1x2 metres is enough :o
Nice!
1:32 - Mick Jagger liked that. XD
Hey, if you only have an inkjet printer, go get some photo paper and print the stickers. Before you go touching the ink, spray it with a few thin coats of spray clearcoat. I prefer matte clear coat.
Nice tip.
man i love your videos! i just find your channel, i also have a small props and art channel where i just finished my samurai batman cosplay!
Sweet!!
The ribbon cable idea is genius
I used foam board for the base on mine 1yr ago. I couldn't fine some hose to hook neutrino wand to until I found foam ninja toys at the dollar tree. The foam handles made a prefect hose after I glued them together. I like you video and it really gave me ideas to build another one. Now you need to build a ghost trap.
Glad it could give you some ideas!
Sticky tack is called kennaratyggjó or Teacher’s Gum in Icelandic
In Danish it’s called elefant snot or Elephant snot (obviously)
Wow, who knew?
Another goodie.
I could almost hear the self-high-five over "hand drill" :P
Fantastic work! :D
Hehe.
I’d like the details on your proton pack……. Did you start it off with foam, styrofoam, rubber or?………. I’m trying to build four for me, my wife, my son and my daughter…….
I made it from EVA foam
Lost Wax, serious question. What is the best method for hardening the foam? A couple of layers of glue and a couple coats of Plasti dip? This pack is my first ever foam build.
I don't try to harden the foam. If you put a brittle coating over it and it flexes you're just gonna get cracks. Rather try to have a flexible coating that will move with the foam.
hello from Brasil
Do you sell these?
Lookin so good. Just finished my pack build.
Nice!!
love the video.. would love to have you on our show in November.. our Ghostbuster month
And extra question, there is any extra piece that is not in the template files? Or is everypart already there?
I think it's all there. Is there something I missed?
Do you think I could scale this down “relatively” easily for an 8yo?
Scaling this pattern down isn't super straightforward, unless you are scaling the thickness of the foam down the same amount as you are scaling the pattern. This is because a lot of the parts actually rely on the addition of the foam thickness on the edge to make the final dimensions of a piece. If you do some careful thinking, I think it could be done.....
I feel like the day your wife locks the workout room the videos will stop 😭😇😂
Amazing! I love your videos 👍🏻🙂
Thank you so much!
When can we see you at a convention?
I'm not sure.... I'm kinda shy, and not a big convention fan, so I have never done a con.......
:)
