I wanted to create a "belt hanger" prop that I could wear while ice skating as a Ghostbuster (yeah, probably best not to think about that too much ;)

The handle has a wire coat hanger embedded in it to keep it's shape and help support weight when holding the prop.

The build took a couple of days, about 4 hours total.

Some of my angles are a little wonky, but overall very happy with my "belt hanger" turned out.

Pics!

Basic shape using EVA and craft foam, Looks like a preschool toy

Handle added and started working on the side details

Make a knob and rods out of rectangular foam? Sure, why not?
Image

Button and sprocket head screws were created with a hole punch
Image

Yup, the heat sink, resistor and knob are all made from EVA foam
Image

These knobs were a bear -I kept gluing craft foam to my fingers
Image

Mmmmm, primer.

Doors masked/taped and first coat of flat black added

Masking off the trap before applying metallic paint
Image

Yeah! very little clean up need for overspray. I think the silver looks good.

Touchup paint and weathering done. Hit all the parts with a black wash to age down the piece and applied the decals. The indicator is a rubber furniture pad painted red.

Not bad for a “belt hanger” ;)

I’m not loving the heat sink and resister and may redo them, but otherwise I think this prop is finished and ready for the show.

YESSIR! That's how all of my teams belt traps are constructed. So much fun isn't it? I recently started using the thin aluminum signs from Walmart for the side plates.

This looks, awesome, KC. Well done!
