So today I started my ghost trap. I got the ghost trap kit and pieced it all together to see how everything fit and to see what needed to be modified to fit.

I started by doing a mock up using masking tape to hold everything together to see again what parts fit and what parts needed to be modified.

My internet is slow as all get up right now because everyone is using it so I will upload photos soon.

Sweet! I love build threads!

TY. That's a huge help.

So here is a pic of the mock up. Step #1 in my process.



I know a few things are off. I will need to do some sanding and fitting to get things just right.

So it has been a while but I have some updates.

This is a few steps after (I lost my camera for a bit). After gluing and clamping I used wood filler, sanded, painted and added the yellow and black decals.



I built a plate to mount the light and switch to. That can be removed to replace bulbs or batteries.



I decided to plate the entire back to rid some of the lines from the gluing process. This is back plate with the hose connector.



This is what it looked like after a final coat of paint with lights (yellow filter) and switches mounted.



These are the side plates.





And this is the DANGER decal on the back.

.

I also just ordered a smoke emitter for model trains to mount inside.

I know it is not 100% but for a build done 90% out of wood I think its pretty good.

SWEET DUDE! looks good!!

Lookin good!

if you want a tip on cleaning up the edges of mdf so the pair goes on even, rub drywall compound on the raw edges, it kinda closes them up so you don't burn through like 18 coats of paint to get the thing looking right. A lesson I learned in my first pack build.

where do u buy the kits at?

They are no longer available. This thread was posted in december last year.

I wanna know how the smoke idea worked out!!
