Hello all, first post.
Ive been a fan since 1985 and saw Ghostbusters on VHS for the first time not the big screen. My nephew really got me going on this project along with the new movie, as a matter of fact I plan on using the Spengler wand as some fans on this site are for the Nuetrona wand for the short term (this will be a hybrid pack, not really set in any one time frame and can and will change when the new movie or those on the inside post photos of the back of the Spengler pack in all its glory). Also working on the 1:8 Hero Collector Ecto-1 proton packs (although a bit inaccurate) was an inspiration.
A little background, the medium I work with is wood and I've seen how heavy some of the wood packs here have been and wanted to challenge myself to see how light I could make it . I used pvc, extruded plastic, and light metal, for the injectors, so not 100% wood but I'd say 75 to 80%. I've had this going since the beginning of July and when I get something going it's full steam ahead as you'll see. Also a thank you to the fine store here, you will see what I purchased from here.
Critiques are welcome we learn from our mistakes. All measurements and plans are from the idealized Stefans plans. Here's a link and it's in order from beginning to most recent.

This weighs in at 9.5 lbs so far
