Masterful DIY Ghostbusters Ghost Pack Costume

Normally I would hesitate to link an article that’s linking another site whom is also linking from another site, but I owe the credit of finding this to BoingBoing (But nice find for Neatorama and great job to Instructables for originating this).

For today’s DIY contribution, Instructables brings us the method of creating your very own Ghostbusters zapper backpack. Good because buying a fake one is a bad idea and usually looks like a cheap toy. Bad because you’ll likely become hugely obsessed with the coolness factor. According to Honus (username of the creator on Instructables):

The packs and trap are pretty movie accurate- they were made from plans that were drawn up from one of the original movie “hero” packs on display at Planet Hollywood. The A.L.I.C.E. pack frames are the same as the movie and were purchased from an Army surplus store. Most of the small parts on the pack are movie accurate and were located at a local electronics surplus store. Even our coveralls were from the original movie supplier. The “no ghost” patches were bought online.

 Hit the link if you want to see more. It’s worth your time for sure.

Thanks Honus!
