About a year ago I put together a uniform based on the Fright Features Janine action figure complete with ghost grabber, you can find a link below.

I've been wanting to add lights to the grabber for a while so I went ahead and ordered the GBFans Pack Light Kit a few weeks ago. I had originally planned on leaving it alone after installing the lights but after talking to GB Forum member Rays_Occult I was inspired to build a portable containment unit to connect to the grabber as well. Thanks for the idea dude!
For those of you who don't feel like scrolling through my rambling post, here's a fun link to a video of the newly installed grabber lights.
Picked up this green ammo box at the local Army Navy store. Gave it a good sanding after my cat was done making out with it.
I coated the whole thing with this
This is how she stands as of now
So moving forward I plan on adding white pin striping to the unit as well as some decals and silver coiled pipes/ other tubing to top it off. I'm going to run a 3/4 " loom out of the unit to connect the box to the grabber also.
Speaking of the grabber, I whittled down the nubs that had been stubbornly sticking out with an exacto and gave the whole thing a fresh coat of yellow.
Next I carved out a rectangle from the neck of the grabber for the power cell lense.
After a little cajoling I was able to secure the lense in pretty snug.
Securing the ribbon cable.
This as good as it's gonna get for now.
Check out the video at the top for an exciting light show. Much more to come, super stoked.
