My opinion says keep it clean... but this is your uniform, of course, so all I can do is suggest... Either way, I'm looking forward to the end product, you're doing a great job!

Oh, and somehow, I want to say I think you should go without a hose either, but like Jay said, do a mock up to see what it might look like...

[methos2523]

I'm tempted to do a second clean suit anyway as I want one with a removable patch so i can wear Egon's colours with my own name lol

Though annoyingly there's already a buster with my last name around, and my first name, Ian, feels too short on a badge... So to keep it unique I have Ian B on mine lol

Ahhh....SOMEWHERE on here I saw pics of a guy who did a pair of RGB uniforms - Louis and "Back in the Saddle" Ray. And he did leg hoses the color of the collar and cuffs (Purple for Louis' Green/Purple suit and....IIRC he did orange, with Ray having a blue/orange suit). Food for thought, I'll see if I can find the pics/thread. Dying leg hose can be a pain, but his looked great (he may have used something other than Rit).

ETA: Found it! http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtop ... =4&t=30235

[pyhasanon]

Hose the same color as the collar... I like this idea!

[methos2523]

ohhh interesting twist... that Spengler suit looks identical to mine, me likey

i'm going to have to use yellow cable / wire for the belt gizmo and pack thrower hose anyway...



so will see what they look like and go from there

[methos2523]

for anyone that enjoys thinking about me cursing and swearing up a storm, i can tell you this afternoon that has been exactly the case... as work has begun on Egon's wig lol

[methos2523]

hmmm, i have a hair cone ... main structure for Egon's wig is done, just needs neatening up and styling in now lol

[Dr.D]

Ingenious idea. Looking good so far.

[methos2523]

Foam core to give structure and hold it in place... Just waiting for it try dry and settle before I do some more hair work on it, neaten it up, and then sew it into the main wig and style it in...

Hopefully will have it done this week... Fingers crossed anyway lol

[Silverstreak]

Wow. This looks great. I like it even more with the movie style name tag. Makes me want to attempt an RGB suit.

[methos2523]

thanks... it's a lot of fun...

i'll be doing a Venkman one next as well, so i can get show with my RGB love without wearing a wig lol

[methos2523]

slowly taking shape

[Silverstreak]

Good gravy. That looks incredibly good so far.

[Grimmy GB]

I'm dying with the lower hair still long! Loving the entire getup so far amigo!

[methos2523]

sorry for lack of updates guys, been having a hectic week so far with a wedding shoot...

on the plus side, actually found some good glasses for Egon now... not perfectly round, but the closest I could get in the bright red frame



it's all coming together

[methos2523]

Wig still needs work blending the pompadour in properly and crafting the ponytail twist... but it's definitely on the right track

[pyhasanon]

Bravo, looks great!

[methos2523]

still need to add some more length to the back for the ponytail twist type thing that he has, then style the sides, but it's getting there now

[Ecto_1X]

Looking good! You'll need to shave too. lol.

[methos2523]

i know... hate being clean shaven lol

[PssdffJay]

i know... hate being clean shaven lol

Who doesn't?

It's coming together nicely! Are you going to have some sort of form or wire for the wavy pony tail thing in the back?

[methos2523]

i'm figuring out the back pony tail part currently... got a few ideas for it, along with the pointed 'curl' quiff that comes off the pompadour at the front...

got plenty of time, i won't finish the pack until feb / march time anyway lol

[Matt Campbell]

Looks really good man, keep up the excellent work.

[methos2523]

thanks Matt...

missus is just figuring out some ideas to add a bit more volume to the sides and top of the wig so the pompadour blends in a bit more... currently i feel more like Rubby Rhod than Egon lol



then at the end of the week i'll be ordering all my parts for my RGB pack build... oh god, help me now lol

[Silverstreak]

Flawless. This will be one of the best RGB cosplays of all time at this rate!

[methos2523]

thanks man... working on the wig a bit more this week...

then the big challenge... ordering all my bits from Nickatron at the start of next week for my pack build

[Grimmy GB]

Can't wait to see you all clean cut and spry. Agreed with silverstreak on the cosplay comment.

[methos2523]

ugh, clean shaven i drop about a decade... last time i had a clean shaven costume on, i actually got ID'd at a pub near the con... never been so horrified in my life lol

[Grimmy GB]

HAHA!

[methos2523]

might actually give it a test tonight and see how bad it looks lol
