So...I wanted to do something a little different and try my hand at my own version of a Steampunk/Ghostbusters crossover. I drew out a concept drawing of a pack and slime blower and spent quite a bit of time on eBay and Craigslist looking for various pieces I thought would be cool to use. We ended up building two proton packs and one slime blower. The proton packs have blinking red lights and a blue hue as well as working/turning gears.
I can post some build progress pics if people care, otherwise I thought I would show a few that were taken of us at Gen Con.
This was my first year doing a costume for Gen Con (7th year attending) and I'm glad I had the help and support of my friends, Rob (wearing the other proton pack) and Lee (wearing the slime blower). We're already in the works of adding a PKE meter, trap and an additional big surprise for next year!
We entered the Gen Con costume contest in the Group category and took 1st place! We were very humbled and excited. It was an awesome time!
These are some images from Gen Con 2012.
