Really? Impatient? I pre-ordered the shell well over a year ago and remain at 86th on the list...still nothing. Yes, impatient. Also, please clarify, did you pre-order or get on the interest list? As they're two very different things. I'm number 4 on his interest list, at least for the idealized sh...

Mack's Factory doesn't really owe us updates. They've laid out their plans and what they will offer, they hold the Ghostbusters license, and are moving forward (obviously at a pace some are frustrated with). The fact is that this is a large endeavour, and we've seen time and time again that even the...

I had my card compromised in July, rather close to a recent transaction with gbfans. That being said I'm confident that it was from a card skimmer mid state, and not gbfans.com as I always use paypal to process my gbfans transactions quickly and securely. I really appreciate you addressing this, as ...

Very little in the way of updates.

I've drilled in a speaker grill into the mobo, have attached the vac hose and dremeled out the half moon for the pack to wand hose.

I gotta be honest, I think the proton packs actually use the 11752-3. Holy crap! All these years later and I/m just now finding out they are actually different parts!

If you're talking about where the center verticle flat bar connects to the top pipe that is a rivet. Drill out the defective rivet and pop in a new one.

There's been so many Ghostbusters projects that are pitched the best policy is to believe it when you see it.

I've updated all the photos to imgur, so hopefully they now display. Here's some more shots. Getting close! All of the mounting point are in, naturally this was just a test fit and I will add washers. I do have to reposition the L bracket on the gun mount, as it is unfortunately too accurate to the ...

CJ, I saw your first version on Facebook and made some recommendations of part names that hadn't been included. I really liked what you had then and I really REALLY love what you have here. Fantastic job!

I think, I hope, that the equipment gurney will have something that the wand slots into so that it looks like they're appropriately mounted. I agree though, this was a bit of an oversight, but I think it's because they're supposed to be part of the model and not separate accessories - which may have...

Where are the spacers between mobo and shell? The Super Hero pack had no spacers between the mobo and frame during the filming of Ghostbusters.

This is really super cool. It's not often that you get to see a good old rough and tumble scratch build. The paint really brought your pack to life, too!

There's evidence of overspray all over the place on each proton pack. Off the top of my head I know that the super hero has overspray on the top orange hat light and on the white decals on the gun track. So it's entirely possible. I would say it's also possible that the OMNI is satin with super brig...

No idea, it looks like a lot of parts on this pack were just painted at the same time.
