I wouldn't modernize too much. An automatic trap is ok for me, but everything modernized else not really. To me this would be the same as designing a computer without a keyboard or anything else.

Here are some pictures of our costume for halloween. http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Primaeraggressor/Royal Bavarian Ghostbusters_rbgb_1.jpg My uniform consists of a tropic overall of the German Bundeswehr with a khaki color a bit darker then the original GB uniforms. The name patches and the no gho...

Hi everyone, here's our proton packs. I just post pics and comment them a little bit. Enjoy. The pack http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Primaeraggressor/Proton Packs_DSCF3158.jpg The upper parts are made out of wood and foam with glued thin wood strips on the outside (booster frame). They are bolted t...

Hi everyone, we wanna show you the trap used by us. The trap is incomplete, there are many parts missing, but at least it is showable and it's rolling. http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Primaeraggressor/Ghost Trap_trap1.jpg That's the trap. The rod to hold the trap is a metal rod I saw off a microphon...

Hi folks, just wanna share pics of our PKE meter here my girl made. She had the idea of using a larger lint brush and adding some SMD LEDs into and onto it (8 outside, 2 inside). The wings are just the cut off ends of a coat hanger painted silver. The LEDs don't blink or anything, they just light up...

Thanks. Yes I did the first coat very thin, but it was impossible to work further on with that stuff. The thin coat didn't stabilize it like it should have done so I mixed a new portion of resin and did another coat which was a little thicker. Most of the warped areas unfortunately were already ther...

No, I didn't actually ... I just found the idea or resined paper fairly interesting and just wanted to start a test if it would be suitable also for GB related prop elements ...

405th.com

Just go to the forum and read a little bit around, you can find many thoughts about resining there. A specific suit doesn't exist, there are many builders.

"Primitive to the new equipment we will be breaking out in the 3rd movie"

Alright so there's an update on this. Sorry for taking too long on progressing on this, but I had to continue working on my packs and this is a test anyway. Sorry again for the bad pic quality, had to use my crappy phone camera as my digital camera is broken and I'm completely broke. Ok here's detai...

For paper the 405th suggest card stock or 110 weight paper which is similar in texture to a buisness card. It can be printed and folded and will hold it;s shape rater well, although you will want to provide some support while you are applying resin for the first time. Yes, that's exactly what I was...

I tried to make a spacer out of paper like so many have done with Halo armor suits. The idea came to my mind after looking at some results over at 405th and after printing and glueing an Iron Man faceplate. As Venkman71 also described the spacer to be a bitch to scratch build and as my foam spacers ...

I agree! Without an amp, these speakers just would be too silent and if you would use an amp, there is the possibility you'd blow those speakers up completely...

As far as I understood, in the end this also would be some sort of fibreglass shell (or the pieces you would have to glue together). The mold however would be paper cast in resin, stiffened with resin soaked fibreglass-sheets. In the end you would sand away the paper. The tubes and stuff you would s...

OMG and he's eating a purple fish. I always knew purple tentacle was a mutant fish...

Did you already finish the Pepakura model, leader0101? Would be really interesting...

Not my taste in the first place, but I can't tell enough how I love the spacer, especially the plates in the lower region overlapping to the surface. That's one interesting thins. Good work!

Paper mache (or papier maché) is way more sturdy than one might think. In the last centuries, women were chewing paper at their little tea parties. What came out was paper pulp. They made some "jewels" out of it where you never would guess that those are made with paper. When completely dr...

Great, another one from Germany! Your costume looks pretty neat, great work. Some details of the pack would be nice as I'm also still searching for some parts...

Something similar, very large picture...

Great Stuff!!!

Hi all, the last days I drew some GB related Garfield strips I'd like to share with you. As I love Ghostbusters, I've always loved Garfield since early childhood. This is only fan art and I hope Jim Davis won't mind this. Not drawn very good, but anyway. Enjoy! http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/1802/...

While nothing is certain in this world, does this sound like it'll work? I also thought about this voice recorder stuff for sounds. The only problem I see here is the fact that those voice recorders normally play the sounds back completely, so if you got a 30 second sound it'll play for full 30 sec...

The last three minutes of this video are the most true words I ever heard of a movie prop and effects artist ever. Thanks for that!

Watched it, too and found it boring as hell. Like said here: Too predictable and not scary at all.

But what the hell would you expect from Oren Peli, the guy who made that film originally. He is scared even by Ghostbusters

Thanks for your answers. In general if you want a durable pack it's cheaper in the long run to just not use foam at all as the cost of stuff to make it durable will be higher than just making it out of something better in the first place. The foam type I want to use is something like that used for i...

Hi everyone, next week I want to start with my own scratch build of a proton pack, at first the gun body and the spacer (stencils are finished). As I can get wood and some foam for free and tubing almost free, I'd like to start with those materials to see how it'll come out. Anyway, I worry about th...

Are you telling me you built that arm out of PAPER?

Hi there everyone, I already posted some times on this forum before actually introducing myself. I apologize for this. I'm 28 years old and a Bavarian Ghostbuster. Like most of the people here I have seen the movies at least thousand times I guess *g*. I'm simply amazed by the incredible amount of c...
