Much thanks, Kiki Hard to believe its made from cardboard and recycled materials from around the house like Arizona Iced tea bottles, miscellaneous wires, bottle caps, a pen, various nuts, screws and bolts, as well as a microwave plate cover and an old computer ribbon cable. The best part is that it weighs only about 9 pounds.

Awesome! If I may ask, did you make it yourself or did you work with a group?

Much thanks.

I made it myself from scratch. It took me 2 months and the total build cost (plus the costume and Ecto goggles) cost me around $250.00

I am a member of Ghostbusters Fans (GBFans.com) and found the plans on there under "Equipment". All the lights work and I have the sound effect stream though a hidden bluetooth speaker which hangs from my belt. All the sound effects and music are on my cellphone.

Is it some sort of contest?

Kind of - its an anime and cosplay convention that has contests for cosplay in different categories.
Its quite well-known here in Florida and cosplayers come from all over the state, just to attend. 

Its not as big as Florida Supercon but its still pretty cool from what I hear.

Thanks so much! Its still a ways off and I still have to make my ghost trap.
Hopefully my job keeps me a bit busy but not so much that I miss it this time.
