Based off of the Spider-Man and Friends Iceman figure.

I saw a custom like this pop up on ebay many years back,I believe it was back in late 2003.The custom used the same base figure because the Iceman figure comes with a backpack that shoot water,a great base for a Proton Pack.

So this is just a very early WIP,I had picked the figure up back when I saw the custom on ebay,but I did nothing with him,I apparently put him in a box and forgot about him until a few days ago,when I was going through some old boxes and there sits my future Peter Venkman.

Now onto the pics:

I'm doing a undercoat of Games Workshop Bronzed Flesh,then once done he will sport his traditional brown jumpsuit from the cartoon.

Proton Pack:

And my parting shot,a shot of my ghetto light box.It's a clear tote with the inside painted gloss white,the light comes in from the top of the tote,and it takes some pretty decent pics as evident of the above pics,well minus the Pack. and the first two pics of Pete.

This was taken about 20 mins ago,continuing the undercoat:

I'm trying to locate the Slimer figure that came with the Mattel 6 inch Egon figure,I want to snap a pic of him with my custom Venky when I'm done.

Just to clarify as to which version of Peter I am doing,it is the cartoon version,the one on the right in this pic:

Decided to do a size comparison with my RoC GI JOE Duke:

I had just started to drybrush on his brown flightsuit.

As I continue on with him,and him posting with his "pal" Slimer:
