Hey, I'm David Jordan from Rock Hill,SC. I'm in the process of starting a Ghostbusters outfit. I've always been a fan of Ghostubusters, Love the movies and cartoon show! Can't wait to see the first movie on the Big Screen this month! Never got the chance to catch them when they were released in the theaters, so I'm very excited to see it in the theaters. I'll post my progress here when I get started, so any help would be appreciated. :-D

Yeah, I'm going for the stiff look. :wink::lol: So, I take it the eyes on the patch are not correct or recommended? :-?

The patch is ok, aside from the eyes looking like dollar signs. Here's an example of your patch, an even worse GB1 patch, and an ok but not great II patch

Here's a bad II Patch

And here's what AJ sells in the shop here on the site

Hey, I have a few more items that I've received for my outfit. I received a radio, gloves, and belt form a friend. I know the belt needs to be died gray, or could I use a kakhi belt?

Image

I also got a Alice frame for my proton pack once I start to make it.

Image

Now I was at work on Wednesday and one of my coworkes told me Dan Aykroyd was going to be in town on Friday! So I was really excited! :-D So I went and Got Mr. Aykroyds autographed on my Alice Frame!! 8)

Sorry the pic with me and Dan was from my cell phone.

Ok, I picked up a CWU 27/P Flyers Coveralls and a pair of boots at a local army surplus dealer for $35! :-D

Also, I ordered the GB patch from the "shop". I bought some dye today and dyed the belt, so we'll see how they look tomorrow.

Looking great David! I need to improve my pack a bit and get a better patch, as well as a personal name tag too. Right now I just have Egon's.

I need to order a custom name tag too. Does anyone know where to get a good name tag made? I saw one on eBay but don't know if it's the one I need to order or not. :-?

Katarra8 makes a pretty good patch and is reliable. I don't recall who I got mine from but I must've gotten lucky because I believe the guy had a bad reputation for not getting people their stuff. CaptainamerCa I think was his name.
