DIY Ghostbusters Proton Pack Part 3. Make the Alice Pack Frame From PVC Pipe.

[@gustavishmichelle3575]

Complete build PLUS you with the whole get up???? 😭😭 this too much for my geek heart! Great tutorial as always Chris. You're almost ready to go bust some ghosts 👻

[@LostWax]

Yep, soon there will be no more ghosts, cause I'll have busted 'em all! Just gotta get that wand figured. Thanks for watching!

[@xPadge112x]

Cannot thank you enough man. This became a little project for me and my son. Now it's becoming a family affair 3 generations are working on it. And you've given us memories no money could buy. If you were in front of me I could kiss you.

[@LostWax]

Awww, moments like this make it all worth it! I love it when families make stuff together, and glad I get to be a little part of that:)

[@dirkthewrench]

YO, you got a shout out from Tested, much respect, channels come along way man, you were one of the first channels I subbed to when I started making stuff

[@daalelli]

Nice!

[@LostWax]

I know, isn't that fun:) Thank you so much for sticking around!

[@krupky]

Really impressive work. Love the use of sand to keep the shape of the pipe. Brilliant!

[@LostWax]

Glad you found it helpful!!

[@bobvitas4132]

Had to watch again... making a third pack!

[@reidparker1893]

Thank you so much for the plans, I am beyond excited! My six year old kid is a new Ghostbusters fan, so I’m going to print the designs at 75% and hopefully adjust the other dimensions as I go. I might even 3D print some of the smaller stuff like the little elbow bends to save some time. Thanks again!

[@vaudevillepictures]

Hi! I wonder if you had success with this plan?

[@avemgonzo5854]

that was beautiful my guy! much better than spending 50 - 60 on a real A.L.I.C.E.

[@LostWax]

Glad you found it helpful:)

[@raynekraven]

Next: The Neutrona wand please!!! By The way, amazing skills!

[@wesrrowlands8309]

This Alice pack frame is going to be the handiest pattern ever, I have a 1980s Real Ghostbusters proton pack and one of the new hollow cheap ones Hasbro made that i want to make frames for.

[@LostWax]

Awesome! Glad it is helpful!

[@Bliggity]

I completed my pack with your directions. I chose to go to an army surplus store and bought a heavily used Alice frame. It was worth the cost and it looks so accurate. Thank you for all you hard work.

[@LostWax]

Nice!! Yep, you can save a lot of time if you can find things that already exist.

[@johnhibbard1355]

As beautiful as any statue a truly gorgeous piece of art!!!

[@LostWax]

Thank you so much. Glad you like it!

[@Maazzzo]

I have zero intention of making this, but I quite enjoy watching you do it.

[@LostWax]

😁

[@trollnips9405]

The frame you built is crazy good! The one I made for my Spirit Proton Pack way back when I first got it was just a bunch of elbows and straight pieces. I hope we get to see you make the Neutrino Wand!

[@RyanSurfsYoutube]

You make MacGyver look like Al Roker

[@utubepunk]

😂😂

[@nickhaile9980]

Amazing! I tagged my son on these. We want to do twin packs, and we can afford this! Thank you for your work. Looking forward to more.

[@LostWax]

Aww cool!

[@Daniel.K.Crandall]

Dude you’re killin’ it! 👏👏👏 you’ve just save multitudes of people a ton of money by showing everyone how to make an Alice frame from pvc. I’m loving your videos. I’m excited for the wand video someday!

[@LostWax]

I'm so glad you appreciate the awesomeness of it:) I just love the ability to heat and bend PVC. There's so many possibilities....

[@samlongbotham1840]

Wow man! Your channel is so great and you patterns are amazing. Thanks!

[@LostWax]

Glad you like them!

[@ruthbryant3929]

Always a delight to watch your tutorials. Always learn so many new things that I can see that could apply to things I do. Yeah! Ghostbusters. Thanks.

[@LostWax]

Thank you so much!!

[@SeareanMoon]

I loved your stuff from the little mini top hats! This looks like such a cool build and once we get fully moved I plan to make it! thanks for all you do!!

[@LostWax]

Thanks for always being do encouraging from waaaay back. It means a lot. Hope your move goes well!

[@VincentGonzo]

While this is a very impressive build of an Alice Frame, i need to make a suggestion for those who cant build something like this. As a prop builder I wouldnt recommend making an Alice Frame when theyre relatively available online between $40-$50 dollars on Amazon, cheaper at an Army Surplus, and if your lucky, a couple of bucks at a thrift store. Doing the math on how much the matterials are, the time and production, i honestly recommend buying one.

[@DannyHensel74205]

I was thinking this the entire time I was watching this video. Making an Alice frame from scratch is super-impressive though and fascinating to watch.

[@pipsta]

Depends what country you're in. Here in the UK we don't really have ALICE frames and to import it's quite expensive.

[@COMMSsliger]

I was thinking this as I saw this video. I was just at an Army surplus store and saw one for around $40... the Alice packs frame is Aluminum metal and it's strong and light weight.

[@arkhamarmoury4253]

I printed your plans, and doctored them a little because I’ve used wood and not foam, If this had come out the day before I’d have followed this to the tee… but on Friday I bought a cheap second hand baby backpack carrier, and cut the baby part off… it had enough frame and risers. I’ve loved this series. And I’ve got my costume ready for when afterlife comes out! 😬👍🏻

[@LostWax]

Sounds great! And finding a pack with a frame already would save a ton of time.

[@jgandinle]

🎶 Bustin’ makes me feel good 🎶 and so does this amazing build! I can’t wait to try it out someday! I’ll have to upgrade some of my skills but you make it seem so achievable. Thank you!

[@LostWax]

Aww yeah, first ever musical comment! Glad you enjoyed the build!

[@Mr_Economy]

This is a really cool build can't wait to try it

[@Wayne_Nero]

Wow, what a build A+ so much detail. 👍🇨🇦

[@stephanieraymond7583]

I am so excited that you've posted a video!!

[@RageONTv]

THis Alice frame is spot on, super accurate to the one used in the movies. I would have spray painted the straps green so it would be more movie like, awesome job my friend!

[@LostWax]

Yes, I'd like to try painting the straps and see how that looks....

[@mercyty1]

Thank you for the viedo. Well you be doing the wand that goes with it?

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Your builds are amazing! For those wondering it's supposed to be 4 and 2 centimeters instead of millimeters at 9:27

[@LostWax]

Yes! I guess I was getting tired while I was recording that:)

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

@@LostWax You're fine. I think these plans are amazing. You're taking something that would cost your average fan thousands of dollars to put together, and making it relatively cheap & easy to make. Thank you for putting so much effort into helping fans out...and for making it free. As soon as I'm able i'm going to buy some of your plans (even though I don't have the ability to make anything due to having no crafting space). You go to 11.

[@LostWax]

@@ZiddersRooFurry Thanks so much, I am glad these plans have been helpful for fans who don't have the cash for a legit setup!

[@jonathansims525]

Awesome! I've been excitedly waiting for this!

[@LostWax]

So have I :)

[@nerdloftgaming]

I already own the Haslab Pack. Love it to death, but a scratch built Proton Pack has always been on my bucket list. This turned out amazing, absolutely beautiful! This will be this summer's project! Thank you for sharing this, you're extremely talented, and have earned another sub 👍

[@Luke-pc3nj]

Great job! You should spray the frame ans the shoulder pads with « olive drab »

[@LostWax]

Yeah! I was really looking for an olive drab pack to take the straps from but the best I could find was black. Maybe I’ll try painting it.

[@InsidetheBoothTV]

great Job!!!

[@tommyowens7293]

Mind blow!!!!

[@joeburns4354]

This is super cool! Any chance you might do a Real Ghostbusters version?

[@LostWax]

I don't think so, After I get the wand done, I'll probably work on something else. Thanks for asking tho!

[@norseridersNL]

can i wear a different type of boots to flatten it?

Mmmmm. No.

Where can I download pattern 64? I couldn't find it in your shop. Awesome build!

[@LostWax]

I just added it as a second PDF to the Proton Pack pattern, it's called "Alice Pack Frame" So, if you get the proton pack pattern, there are now two PDF files to download, and it is one of them. If you already got the pattern, just use the link in the receipt email to get to the download page again.

[@MadMansCosplay]

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?

[@thefwaynes]

out of curiosity how heavy is this version of the pack, reason being most packs are at minimum 15 pounds

[@lewisd580]

This makes me wish I had a garage or shed to work on these things. Can't really heat PVC pipe in my living room :(

[@LostWax]

Yeah, that would be a bad idea. Sheds are the best!

Even if I have my Pack and Frame, it's great to see some LIGHT packs. Do you plan to show HOW TO BUILD THE PROTON GUN ?

[@VivaanRathod-ue6tc]

[@JOEMAMA-zn8sr]

[@AndrewSharp93]

I wonder if this would be a good idea for upgrading the Spirit Halloween Proton Pack. Instead of buying an actual alice frame.

[@blyshut617]

hello! Very good pattern, I really find it interesting to try to put it together but to buy it I would like to know if it is possible to make the transaction since I am in Mexico :(

[@gumbyx84]

Is there any reason why you don't use elbow joints?

[@LostWax]

Just for a more accurate reproduction. It would be much faster and easier with elbow joints.

[@karisorrenti]

I’m going to use your pattern but size it down. I’m only 5’2” and I made my proton pack smaller to fit me.

[@allencampbell3350]

When shaking a starfish, one should always shake gently.

[@jonogunn]

Sorry dumb question but u do pour the sand out afterwards right? Lol

[@LostWax]

Yup! Unless you think your pack is too light…….

[@karisorrenti]

Really want to make a better Neutrona Wand. Please do that too!

[@LostWax]

It's coming, hopefully by the end of next week. stay tuned!

[@crossleyjames]

Is the template for the Alice frame no longer available? I haven't been able to find it.

[@LostWax]

There isn't actually a template for the Alice frame, I guess there's really only one piece there's even be a template for, perhaps I could add it to the PDF.

[@greggv8]

PVC glue and rivet the frame together and it'd be great for a real backpack for hiking and weigh less than a metal frame.

[@jonogunn]

Would wearing a normal medical mask be enough if I’m heating the pvc outdoors? I don’t have a respirator

[@LostWax]

A medical mask doesn't get rid of organic vapours, so it isn't going to do much as far as I know. That being said, if you heat the PVC slowly so it never gets close to burning, and you are outside with a bit of a breeze, you should be pretty safe, but of course that's up to you and do it at your own risk.

[@coreyg2177]

I like this idea, but has anyone tried a MOLLE backpack frame? They're listed for $9 plus S&H on eBay.

[@joseagnaldodesantanasantan2812]

👏👏👏são Paulo, Brasil!

[@youkai3785]

This is definitely a cheaper alternative to an actual ALICE pack frame. Is it lighter to or about equal in weight to an actual pack frame? I only ask because I'm an older Ghosthead with knee and back problems so the lighter the better.

[@LostWax]

I'm not actually sure, I am guessing an actual pack frame would be lighter if it's made from aluminum. PVC is actually quite heavy for what it is.

[@luigiaiello6766]

Hey @Lost Wax, love your stuff!! But don’t you mean 4 and 2 centimeters instead of millimeters at 9:27? 🤔 The wood piece looks a bit too big to be in millimeters 😅

[@LostWax]

Oh shoot, you’re right. Thanks for pointing that out! I wish I could edit a video once it is uploaded to KZbin.

[@darrelljacobjr2120]

If you hadn't been so fixated on using foam, the proton pack back-plate could have been 1/4" plywood, making attaching the pack frame much easier. I see the same thing with people who have bought a 3D printer. One guy was asking how he could 3D print a piece of 3" pipe. I told him, why spend 12 hours printing a piece of pipe that won't be waterproof anyway because of poor layer adhesion, when you can just go to the hardware store and buy it?!! 3D printers are for the impossible to find parts. BTW, awesome proton pack build!

[@LostWax]

Yep, you could totally use 1/4 ply. I just sometimes try to keep the supplies list as short as I can, so not having to buy a sheet of ply when you already have a roll of foam was kinda my thinking.

[@ThinkingProblem]

Honestly with all the money I'll already have spent on PVC foam, glue and shit.. I'll just buy an alice frame
