Homemade Ghost Busters Proton Pack

Step 4 Lighting

I would have loved to lay out a set up where the lights blinked in a clockwise sequence like the movies did in a fade in - fade out pattern.  But I really did not have the time to set up and build one, so I cheated and found a blinking light set from the hobby store for $5.  There were ten lights in the set and blinked two at a time in more or less random order.  I drilled out four holes in the plastic on the top of the cyclotron and used the reflectors from four cheap flash lights.  The red came from plastic bottles. 

The remaining six lights were mounted to a plastic piece and placed in the middle of the pack.  Even though it is not movie accurate, it still looks good.  If I had planed it out better (lights were a last minute item and not really thought of in the beginning of this project) I would have placed the lights in the Power Cell to the left of the pack.  As it is, that is just solid foam as is the rest of the upper pack.
