Looking at the Ray's gizmo in the elevator picture posted on the ghostbusters facebook page, does it look it like the daughterboard is held on the belt by a tan leather sleeve?

Has anyone found a fix for the white zipper backing on the khaki suits?

Looking at the GB1 pics, it seems like the the wrist cuff velcro's loop fastener should be smaller, the same size as the waist's. Does that seem right?

It might be worth getting the ppd several inches longer than needed, if you're going to be cutting it with a machine. The small size can make it difficult to get the 45 angle cut right, unless you want to do it by hand.

When you were texturizing your shell, how did you approach it? Did you have a certain pattern or depth in mind?

What are the dimensions you used to replicate the xlr/input/toggle plate?

Thanks.

I just tried this last night. It looks pretty good in the areas you'd want, inbetween the fins and on the cylcotron, however, I am spending a lot of today scraping and sanding parts off. This is definitely something you'd want to practice with before trying on your main/hero shell. Also, I'd think a...

I just tried the brown leather dye method, it came out great. Took about four minutes of sloshing and it was done. Just be careful where you do it, the excess water will get everything it touches a golden yellow. Chucks were not the right shoes to be doing that in. People are going to look down and ...

I went with 1/16 aircraft cable for the reinforcing cable, as it looked to be the right size. I think the hole in the handle for the cable is 1/8. If anybody thinks that's off, please let me know.

Right, I couldn't find any either. I have a metal gun body, and I didn't want to wreck it by drilling a hole in the wrong spot, or needlessly (if not all of the guns had the wiring come out from a hole in the body). But I also wanted to try to be as accurate as I could (so if it's there, I want to g...
