I'm not a fan of either of those details .

What's wrong with using fiberglass? That's going to be the cheapest, strongest, and most accurate construction method; as for an actual gelcoat, I've always had great success with Smooth-On EpoxAcoat for the detail layer inside the mold, followed by fiberglass cloth/mesh reinforcement.

That's a very nice shell you have there!

10-32.

I would say it's also possible that the OMNI is satin with super bright lighting making it look a lot shinier than it really is, but it's damn near impossible to confirm or deny that aspect. Satin paint has a bit more sheen as soon as it's applied and usually needs a couple days for it to wear off....

https://i.imgur.com/l6Hm58j.jpg Another oddity with this pack is the missing bottom two HGA bolts; while present in GB2 and on the pack today, they may or may not have been on there during the entirety of the rooftop sequence. Like the PH-25 that's missing in the promotional shot of Bill, the bolts...

The best method is to make a small bracket to mount the Power Cell lights to that is positioned directly behind the blue lens and attached to the motherboard.

The beamline is the 1/4" split loom running from the HGA to the tube with the elbow fitting; the vacuum hose is the 3/4" loom that connects the gearbox to the vacuum tube.

Very nice scratch-build! It's always good to see people building packs with alternate materials. If I can make two suggestions; shorten your vacuum and beamline hoses a bit (since they're a bit long), and if possible, see if you can nab an accurate Spectra strip ribbon cable from eBay - the ribbon c...

Today I made a shotgun grip for the front handle and wrapped some gaff tape (painted green) to the rear handle. Earlier this week I installed the new strain relief connectors and added some more patina/grime to the pack.

I'm not a firearms expert by any means, but it could have been taken from an airsoft gun and painted/modified. The grip on this CSI Multi-Shot M56B FPS-320 Spring Airsoft Shotgun looks pretty close...

Beyond the amber beacon being a little oversized, I really don't think it was any more goofy than the original. I know I've said this before, but had it been in any other movie, or had been a fan-built car, it'd be as warmly welcomed as the majority. :) Exactly! I think most people forget that the ...

I've already started modifying one of my old backup packs into an Afterlife version; so far I just have the neon yellow cable installed, but have more parts on the way.

Absolutely incredible! It's very gracious of you to share these.

It looks like the rear grip and part of the barrel are either sanded down or wrapped in tape. The extension where the split loom connects reminds me of the ATC throwers.

Clear photos and measurements of the side-entry zippers would be invaluable.

Now we just need to determine where the cable terminates (possibly the ribbon cable hole?) and whether the cable gland plugs into something or just hangs freely. Granted, it's disconnected when Phoebe finds it on the workbench, but it's just barely obscured during the scene at the end of the interna...

The beam line on the Venkman Hero...

Were these packs done in the GB2 style WITH Afterlife modifications or did they look like they were right off the GB2 set? And how many stunt packs in the photos? The photos I saw featured four GB2-style packs that looked more or less like the originals, except they did have the strain-relief conne...

I learned about these strain relief connectors back in September when I got to handle one and see some production photos of some GB2-style stunt packs built for the film. While I was asked not to divulge any details about the parts prior to the trailer being released, I suppose they can now be discu...

Did anyone else notice the old ‘59 Caddy sedan missing a door sitting outside the barn? I’m guessing that’s the car they cannibalized (in universe) for the Ecto’s new suicide door.

Wow, I didn't even notice the dimples in that picture until I looked closely, and that's a super closeup lol. Maybe I just overlooked them in the GB2 reference photos I was looking at before. How many different packs were made for GB1 anyway? Hero, Semi-Hero, Super-hero, Stunt, any others? How many...

Wow, sounds like a lot of variation. So only the semi-hero packs had them? Were they not on any of the hero packs from GB1 or 2? The Venkman and Spengler Hero packs definitely had the holes, while the Super Hero pack does not; it's unclear as to whether or not the Stantz and Zeddemore/Omni Hero pac...

Seeing this movie in the cinema is an experience that I will never forget. Besides being a brilliant film, I feel that Joaquin has a place in the pantheon of live-action movie Jokers next to Cesar, Jack, and Heath.
