Awesome Custom!

I recently shipped out a custom commission for a customer. Three childsized Ghostbuster Proton Packs. This had its challenges. For one, everything had to be semi redesigned from scratch. None of the special cast pieces could simply be re-used on a smaller pack. And the electronics…well, they certainly don’t come in a smaller size so I would have to find a way to make them fit. The speakers I normally use I didn’t feel would suit and I didn’t want to add that weight to a child’s backpack. So I installed tiny speakers in the Particle Thrower (“gun” part) and I was impressed with how well they worked out. The throwers I simply could not down size them as far as the packs due to the limitations of the electronics inside and I had to forgo some detail work there as well. I made some of the parts that normally stick out a bit far stubbier so as not to want to catch on things since these were for children. Overall, I love how they came out. I think they are adorable! hopefully the customer will send me some photos and allow me to share. Here’s a comparison photo between the full size and child size packs
