Here’s a thread in which I’ll document the build of a Benofkent Props Proton Pack I’ve decided to build for an acquaintance, Wes Cronin. We’re both members of the Portland Ghostbusters. I scratch-built my Proton Pack in 1984, as documented here <a href="https://shawnmarshallmakes.com/1984-proton-packs/">https://shawnmarshallmakes.com/1984-proton-packs/</a>.

A reporter from the Portland, Oregon (and statewide) newspaper The Oregonian asked to tag along with our group for some of our appearances at a couple of theaters during the opening weekend for Ghostbusters: Afterlife. She shot video and recorded interviews with a few members of the group, producing…
Thanks for your interest and offer to help. My main obstacle right now is working up the creative energy to finish my PKE prototype. I've been focusing on our business and household stuff. I'm going to try to get back on track on the PKE in the next few weeks.
A mom out in eastern Oregon asked if our group could attend her son’s birthday party last weekend, but none of us could handle the 8+ hour round trip drive. In lieu of that I volunteered to create a video incorporating video and photos of the boy and his house and some members of our group shot in …
Did I say it was a slow build? I mean slow. As in I started work on this prop in 1994.
But now, 26 years later, I think I’m in the home stretch, so I thought I might as well start a retrospective build thread culminating in a final prop replica that features:
Resin shells cast from two-part mol…
Hi:
Here’s a piece I worked up for an 8’ x 5’ vinyl banner to hang at select appearances by the Portland Ghostbusters.

I built the scene in Cinema 4D, rendered with the Arnold renderer. The 96" x 60" piece took around 7 hours to render at 100 dpi on a Dual Xeon HP workstation. I composi…
Just for fun I thought I’d share this video showing my complete breadboard for the super-accurate PKE meter I’ve been working on since the early 90s (I work very slowly, partially due to feature creep).
I can’t seem to get the YouTube code thing working (it’s just producing big blank spaces), so yo…
For this, my first build thread here, I’ll be showing what went into these Ecto Goggles I’ve been working on for the past few weeks, just in time for the Rose City Comic Con:

Hey there, Im new to this interface so excuse me if Im reaching out in the wrong way, but I didnt see a DM or email choice. I believe my friend in Tampa reached out to you regarding a few PKE shells for me here in Houston. If I have the right person, lets move this to email and make it happen. Reach me at buzkhashi@gmail - talk to you soon! Or if I botched, sorry to bother you! lol
Here are a batch of photos of the PKE Meter prop taken around 1993 by my good friend Bryan Ambacher. He and I built a pair of Proton Packs in 1984, as documented in this website I put together a few years ago:

A few months ago I had the pleasure of hanging out with a group of swell men and women from the Portland Ghostbusters group at the Rose City Comic Con. When it comes to strapping on my gear I’ve been somewhat of a loner for the past few decades, so it was nice to meet and have dinner with o…
