I'm an industrial designer living in Austin, Texas. Grew up all over the US, studied Industrial Design at Purdue University where I spent a lot of late nights in the model shop (and used a LOT of Bondo.) I now spend most of my days designing consumer products behind a computer, but my fondness for the shop and obsession with objects has led me to dabble in prop replicas.

Started a forum topic: Haslab Trap - 3D Printed Interior Door Insert Mod (Link to Files)
Hi all, There were only a couple of mods I wanted to make on the Haslab Two-in-the-Box Trap, and one of them was the interior of the trap doors. Last night I modeled up a set of inserts to mimic the machined pocket seen on some of the hero props. I’m probably (definitely) not the first person to …

Hello! It’s been awhile since my last build thread (<a href="https://www.gbfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27016" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">My pack build was way back in 2011!</a>) and it’s been fun to see just how many more opportunities there are not for building equipment, and how much more sophisticated we’ve all become <img src="/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=15" title=":slight_smile:" class="emoji" alt=":slight_smile:" loading="lazy" width="20" height="20"> I’ve wanted to do an Ecto Goggles build since then, but other …

Anyone spot any? While there are clearly a couple of spots where you can tell scenes were abbreviated, modified, inserted, etc. I felt like this movie did really well with congruity, despite the complexities of everything going on. One slip I did notice was just before Phoebe and Podcast go out on…
Read moreStarted a forum topic: Are any sound mod kits for Matty Collector PKE Meters currently available?
I seem to have missed out on the few runs of PKE sound mods over the past few years, and it doesn’t look like anyone is currently producing them. Am I missing out, or are these just tough to come by? Is there a go-to mod that people are currently using in 2023?
Read moreStarted a forum topic: If I buy all the Goggle parts in the GBFans store, what will I be missing for a complete build?
Hey all. It’s been awhile since I’ve build any GB props! I’m thinking about doing a pair of Ecto Goggles. If I ordered the following from the site, what else will I be missing? Lights? <a class="lightbox" href="https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/4/c4a7fe16329ecd87642f08482d4975fa4137abea.jpeg" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/s3Hvp7AoCZwL8Ya26Lm23NRiR74.jpeg?dl=1" title="image">[image]</a>

Hi everyone, Namssorg here. It’s been awhile. I was a regular daily visitor to the pack build threads back in 2011-2012 and sporadically have checked in from time to time after I finished that build. Maybe some of you remember my build thread. I don’t know if this can be easily answered without m…
Read moreStarted a forum topic: PKE at my local Fire Station
Was on a field trip with my kiddo this week and this caught my eye as we walked past a display case full of firefighter memorabilia. I was even more surprised when I saw they had it labeled <img src="/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=15" title=":slight_smile:" class="emoji" alt=":slight_smile:" loading="lazy" width="20" height="20"> [image] [image]

It’s been raining all weekend, so when we were looking for something to do today, my son asked me if we could make a Tom’s shoebox he’d found into a Ghostbusters trap. He also brought me a little safety light, so it could light up. Had to incorporate that <img src="/images/emoji/twitter/wink.png?v=15" title=":wink:" class="emoji" alt=":wink:" loading="lazy" width="20" height="20"> Needless to say, my ears perked up. “OF CO…

Hi guys. Been awhile. These were posted by redditor reztezbor. Apologies if these have been posted/linked-to already on GBfans. This exhibit just went up, and I thought these photos should exist on the forum! This pack is in pretty good shape, and <a href="http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22743" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">appears to be different from the ones in this t…</a>
