OH boy, does this take me back to 1997. I've been building proton packs for almost 20 years and seeing an old-school cardboard / found object -'Scrap' pack makes me nostalgic. this was how we all made our packs before 3D printers and online sites that offered kits. can't wait to see more of the build.

[@2224addy]

The only person I know who 3D printed his proton pack is ghostbuster news

[@jackblair5776]

Whoa! This is brilliant, Danny. If I hadn't watched you build it, I would never have imagined it was made of cardboard and packing tubes! It looks like metal!!! The labels sell it, but painting all those "welds" was the clincher. If there is something everyone should take away from this (besides learning how to make a fantastic replica), it would be to never throw away anything that has a unique or unsual shape. I think I'll go inventory cardboard, packing tubes, and all those odd shaped parts! Hazah! This was a long video and you covered a ton of stuff!!! The voiceover keeps things rolling along. It fun and entertaining. I really appreciate all the time you took to compose and edit it! I can't wait to see the next installment! Thanks so much!

[@wizardryworkshop]

Thanks, Jack! We literally have a huge box of just random things I can sift through and find pieces for projects like this.

[@brianahawkins8124]

AWESOME! The Ghostbusters would totally love your work, Egon you will be missed.

[@wizardryworkshop]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

[@brianahawkins8124]

@@wizardryworkshop Your welcome, more like LOVE IT!

[@MrWill070]

It looks great and its good for people like me who cant buy a proton pack.

[@Paranormalstudies599]

Great work, fantastic!

[@wizardryworkshop]

Thank you! I'm planning the thrower this year before Halloween!

[@Paranormalstudies599]

@@wizardryworkshop I'm really looking forward to the video.😊

[@elizabethhair9017]

The Ghostbusters Frozen Empire trailer looks very cool, can't wait to see the film !!

[@InsidetheBoothTV]

great job! card board is good.. but if you want to protect it better from the elements, you should plasty dip it and then paint it with some good spray paints enamel in particular, and that should help it with the elements, might not be full proof but will be better. again great job on the build!

[@Bttfpropdiy]

Awesome proton pack DIY!!!!! I love not only your Harry Potter DIY but also your other movies’ props DIY🔥🔥🔥 The Grays sports almanac DIY you recreated last year was heavy🔙 I can’t help waiting your next videos!!!

[@suzithewitch]

This is so awesome! I love these tutorials that really stretch out of the comfort zone! My favorite Ghostbusters as number one :)

[@Bella198625]

That looks amazing Danny!

[@wizardryworkshop]

Thank you!

[@abysss56]

Your insane in an awesome way! Such a great mind!

[@wizardryworkshop]

Thank you

[@mackenzieuhlenhopp2441]

Holy cow, this is so epic! I’m not a Ghostbusters fan (except for the theme song), but I so appreciate the tremendous effort you put into this, Danny. The finished product is astounding!

[@quikdrawcollins1861]

It looks great! That's the thing with proton packs, there's so much detail that your eyes don't linger on anything long enough to notice imperfections. You're probably the only one who will know they are there. I tried to do this for Halloween 2022 and also seriously underestimated how long it takes. I had to pivot to a faster costume and finished it for Halloween 2023. It took all my free time for about 6 weeks for the whole costume.

[@mariawelych4294]

OMG! No wonder that took so long to make! It’s so intricate! And it looks great. I love watching your videos, even though I don’t make the pieces. Maybe when I retire in 5 years…

[@jenniferbesler72]

THIS IS EPIC. Youre doing amazing and love this. i started watching i think at 5k subs and I'm so excited to see a huge project like this

[@schad07]

That looks amazing

[@Legacy_Collectables]

I started out thinking this is going to look dreadful but it turned out absolutely amazing !! well done.

[@wizardryworkshop]

Thanks! That was exactly what I thought as I was building it. Lol

[@caseyparker8687]

This is beautiful man

[@kylec.8350]

I need a printer and I'm doin this!!!! It looks very good and rewarding.

[@spisi]

Brilliant

[@NannisChannel1709]

I beg you to make the video on the neutrona wand!

[@staceyrowell6211]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@LM-lm2jx]

I can't believe that is mainly out of cardboard. I made one too but with random item's I found around the house and from the hardware store. Its heavy

[@wizardryworkshop]

That was my original plan! But I couldn't find anything too accurate, and I wanted it to look like the one in the movie (as much as it could).

[@thebibliobibuli6395]

you can use mod podge to make it "water proof"

[@2224addy]

The Cardboard proton pack I made for Halloween took me almost 3 months

[@AmmonMurphy]

This is awesome! What are you gonna do for the wand?

[@klamar123]

Hi Danny, great build! Can you provide a link to the ribbon cable you used? I have been building a pack since around the time you started (Oct 23) using mostly found objects from Home Depot, etc to complement a Hasbro pack. This vid will def help me with some of the more odd bits.

[@mttynan4690]

Do you think that this proton pack build would be suitable to wear to a house party - considering going as an original ghostbuster with some friends (17) and obviously cardboard isnt the most sturdy material. alternatively, do you think it would be more sturdy to follow a tutorial which makes one from EVA foam? How long would you say the build took you in total?

[@trhodes6324]

Th is for this video!! I don’t see the spacer part in the downloads. The one you are cutting out at 6:37 on video. Please advise

[@glory_exe.2]

Hi Danny, I would like to know where I can download the internal map template, I couldn’t find it in your store. Can you help?

[@Venkman29]

What is custom full working proton packs made of ? A hard plastic?

[@ambassadorz]

Nice. How much does it weigh? Also, will there be a neutrona wand build?

[@wizardryworkshop]

Yep, there will! I need to make it before Halloween. I don't know the exact weight but it's not much!

[@michaelglasgow3778]

Every one watch it and make it

[@NannisChannel1709]

ok but what about suspenders?

[@ultravolt4643]

I can't seem to find the templates after clicking on the link?

[@wizardryworkshop]

When you click the link, you are taken to my website. From there, the link is under the video.
