To my knowledge, Sony has two hero packs (Venkman and the Super Hero), two semi-hero packs (Spengler and Zeddemore), and one Universal Studios pack in their archives.

I'm guessing that the 1A will be reverted back to a more basic and slightly run-down Ecto-1; if the 2009 video game is taken as canon (which Sony/Aykroyd have acknowledged), then the in-universe car was stripped of it's GB2 accoutrement in 1991 and returned to a more basic look (actually based on th...

Just sew the connector onto your suit using some coat thread; you can also cut out a small circle of vinyl to use as extra backing/support behind the connector on the inside of your suit leg. As for the other end of the hose, just tuck it into the back of your belt. I’m always surprised how many peo...

Of the five surviving GB2 belts that I've seen, only one of them had the seat belt webbing (which is likely Harold's belt judging from the sound meter pouch and leather fob). However, Ernie's belt in the Statue of Liberty scene also seems to have the seat belt webbing... https://i.imgur.com/5mh3qNV....

Higher-res versions of the auction photos...

Here are some photos that I found online of that GB2 belt displayed with some Alien gear (at a casino, I think):

Great job on your first molding and casting (and much better than my first shell molding years ago).

It looks like some of the warping in the finished casting could be minimized by building keys into your support jacket.

Welcome! We also have a 1966 Miller-Meteor (classic limousine style, though) that we're working on for our group.

According to Aykroyd in the 2008 Ecto-1 restoration video, he mentions the original concept involving 'black electronic brushed boxes' on the roof.

Just drill out the old rivets and install new pop rivets.

The black LC-1 frames (used on all of the Hero packs) have the center bar flush with the rest of the frame. The green LC-2 frames, used on most of the GB2 semi-hero packs, have the bar slightly raised. Either way, you need to use some 1" steel spacers (or wooden blocks for GB1) to offset the mo...

While he doesn't seem to be selling derivatives, it is still bad form to copy another's work, whether it's an original design or recreation (like the pack labels). I understand your frustration, as I've had graphics that I've created for various prop/costuming groups stolen and sold for profit. Fort...

The Ion Arm end cap has two 10-32 socket head cap screws.

In GB1, they added black zip-ties to secure the hose connectors for the remainder of the LA shooting (as the hoses kept falling out while on location in NY).

I think that the vintage potato masher that I used for mine was extremely close to the screen-used one:

Even if the car "runs", that simply means that the engine will start up and can presumably be driven some short distance; there is very likely a laundry list of repairs that need done to keep the car running well and safely. Right now my GB partner and I are converting a 1966 MM classic li...

"Artefact" is an acceptable alternate spelling in the UK (where Kingpin is from)...

I've also been using Smooth-On products for several years now. For casting knobs, I'd recommend their Smooth-Cast 65D semi-rigid resin.

Reinforcing the ALICE straps isn't too difficult, but it does require some patience; it only took me about five hours to stitch the new straps on for my GB2 Hero pack (plus about three hours of removing the old pads, cutting the foam, test-fitting, etc.). https://i.imgur.com/5TERFnL.jpg While eBay i...

A quick search on eBay shows several sellers offering the accurate GB2 Spectra Strip cable for about $10-15 shipped.

While waiting in Impatiently for my benofkent full pack kit to arrive, I had this idea about using aluminum cans with the kit decal set. I plan on placing the decals like the large danger sticker that goes on the back top of the motherboard on a flattened cut out can. Then screwing the whole decal ...

It's a common misconception that you can't wash the suit with a hose connector sewn on - just make sure that you use some strong coat thread to sew it on, and be certain to turn the suit inside out when you wash it. For added strength, you can sew a small vinyl patch behind the connector on the insi...

But the very first image (.png) is about half the quality of the rest (pixellated when printed at 100%). Do you have a sharp version of that one DVC? That's odd - I'm not sure why I uploaded that version; it must have been a sample proof or something. Here's a better version from a print job from a...

Just sew the hose connector on; it will be extremely durable and should hang properly.
