Ghostbusters costume

[deathproof]

Lookin' cool.

(I never like that umption anyway. He's a jerk)

Thanks. Can't wait to pick up the mail tomorrow... if the coveralls show up and fit, I just need to get the patches sewn on and then finish the proton pack. Picked up a couple of pieces to add to it tonight. Just woke up from a 2 hour nap so I'm refreshed and ready to build!


And OH MY GOD - I had checked out a link to another site from here where a guy had built a lifesizde IG-88 and that led me to a prop-building forum for all sorts of movies. I had no idea there was such a sub-culture of people who did this stuff... everything from homemade models of space ships and such to lifesize replicas of costumes, props and more. Amazing.


I've had an interest in this sort of thing for a long time... probably started with a Captain Cold replica visor and cold gun my uncle helped me to build when I was just out of high school, so over 25 years. Mainly have done Halloween costume stuff but I really want to get more into building droids (the expensive R5-D4 build will be next) and similar stuff.


I'd love to build a lifesize Imperial Viper Probe Droid but holy crap... I was checking out a couple that other people have built and I don't have the know-how or the workspace/tools for something like that.

I need to find someone with one of those vacuum form tables. Or even build one of my own. I've been looking at instructions for doing so, although I would have to keep something like that at my shop.
