---

My wife was generous enough to lend me her camera phone tonight to put up some pics of my most recent project. I love MattyCollector, but they were taking a little too long on bringing me a PKE meter. After feeling inspired by Captcyan, I decided to make my own, and as you all know I'm pretty fond of the RGB style.

I'm making enough for my figures, and could make more if there is an interest.

I think I need to use a thinner paint. The meter doesn't look THAT clumpy in person.


"I don't know Venkman, he doesn't seem too dangerous..."
"Trust me Egon. We've got to stop him before he gets his own TV show!"










More tests with molding. Maybe even an EGB PKE...

That's awesome! what did you use to mold it?

very nice! Im impressed. If I had figures I would want one. Now scale it to the retro figures!!! LOL! Im going to get those for my kids.

Looks great!

The paint looks good. It's the close-up pictures that make it look "clumpy" because you are magnifying the meter by about 4 or 5 times it's origional size.

Thanks fellas! Gravedigger, I got all my materials from a company called smooth-on. The original PKE that I made the mold from was just modeling Plastic card and assorted sizes of tubing.

Scott, truly awesome. I would love to have one for my RGB Egon as well as my Mattel one.

very nice and double kudos to you... I wouldnt have the patience to do something like that

That looks amazing! Wonderful job.

That looks fantastic I'ld be down for three or four

Freakin' awesome! That is well done, indeed! What kind of paint are you using? If it's Citadel paint you can thin it by adding a few drops of water, makes a huge difference on how smoothly it applies.

great job! are you selling unpainted copies of this? cause I'd buy a few...

Thanks all! I guess that settles it, as soon as I can pull some decent molds I'll offer them up for sale. I'll be offering either painted or unpainted with the emphasis being placed on unpainted just due to the time and there's a certain pride that comes in when you see your own meter and think, "I did that. I made that look good". Not to mention that I'd want these to be cheap for us as fans. But painting takes time, and thus a higher price.

PeteVenkman_Jedi, indeed I am still using the old Citadel Paints from my Real Ghostbusters Minimates that you advised me on. I tried out the water idea today and it works like a charm. Thanks again mate!

Very impressive!

sign me up for 4!!

much nicer compare to RGB retro action PKE meter!

That RGB PKE meter looks great!
Please put me on your list for two of them

Looks awesome!

Figured I'd post some progress shots. I'll be posting an official Interest/For Sale thread later this week. Until then, here's some progress shots of what will be available.

COMING SOON


Different options:


Ready to go out the door:


VG Basement Paint (My favorite)

Do these come pre painted? If not I'll gladly pay extra because I nor anyone I know has ever done any customising before, and I'm sure that if I did it they would turn out terrible.

Thanks guys.

Yes there is an option to have these painted.

are you selling the envelopes too? gotta get me one of those and a few pke meters.

The envelopes will be for sale as well. I'm currently working on a briefcase that's intended to go out with the envelopes as an accessory pack for Peck. Or the "Peck Pack". If you can't wait though, I'd be fine with parting with one or two early.

i'll wait - gotta have a briefcase! awesome job on all this stuff man!

Lookin good! Write me down for a couple PKE's (RGB and EGB) I'll definatly (sp?) want a briefcase too!

yeah, all of this is looking real on point! keep up the GREAT work

Put me on an interest list for the Peck Pack!
