I made this prop about 3 years ago and can you believe I only came in second place in a Halloween costume contest to a store bought costume (Stupid Judges!). The pack is funtional as far as all lights and when the handle was pulled it shot out silly string from the gun. (One of the more difficult parts of creating the pack.) I hope everyone enjoys!! BTW: Thank you for all the compliments I'm getting from everyone. In answer to all your inquiries about plans, I actually used the plans written by Norm Gagnon to build the pack which are available in this section. A few changes had to be made, for instance: instead of using a garbage can for the center tank (I could never find on that was the right size or shape), I put 3 Bait buckets together (Bait Buckets were straight from top to bottom rather than normal buckets which taper down). If I were to do it again though I would probably use a Form Tube These are cardboard tubes used for pouring concrete into.(You can get these at home depot or Lowes in the Masonary section). I also had to come up with a way to make the gun shoot silly string, that is a process I am thinking about redesigning due to the complexity of the design I have now and the tediuos loading process I have to go through to reload cans. -Lancekey
