Calgary Ghostbusters patches are brilliant, worth the £££
I made my first ecto goggles from an old virtual reality headset & old prescription bottles. Couldn't see out of them , they were made to sit on the top of my head
That's a great way to make one!!!
I will say if people can’t afford all the gizmos and gadgets, they can always go with an afterlife style cause they didn’t have gadgets and gizmos in that film, so saves getting a PKE meter and a ghost trap 😁
Excellent tutorial. I’ve been very curious about those Magnoli jumpsuits.
I definitely want to see one in person. I'm tempted when I have more cash. I see they just literally released their own belts as well.
One thing I say with all cosplay...you dont have to get everything at once. Start slow. Start with the suit and patches + the belt. Then expand by the speed of your budget . If a project require work. Finish it before getting 5 other projects.
If there is one in your area, a military surplus store is a great place to get flight suits, belts, and boots
Hah... Cool kit, man. One thing- The 'fake pockets' are for accessing the actual pockets in the pants that a person is intended to wear beneath a flight suit; coveralls are outerwear, after all, so the person inside is assumed to be fully dressed, before they suit up. 👍👍
Ahhh, so logical and obvious now you say that but never thought of it. I used to think maybe it was a way of cooling down 🤣 Thanks for the info!
@@TheMagicGhostbuster I'm a Michael Myers cosplayer from way back, so I've spent LOTS of time in garments with those fake pockets. haha
@@TheShurikenZone cool!! Can't beat Michael Myers, literally!
Thanks for this video, my friend
No problem. Thanfpr watching 😊
Original boots should be the orig. US Military Combat Boots from ALTAMA (from the 80s, all leather not the jungle ones). Since they are not produced anymore i would go with the similar ROTHCO boots or the new cosplay "paranormal boots" by Magnoli Clothiers.
Don't forget that they had quick release zippers attached to them in GB ;)
Brilliant video as always mate ! There are so many ‘makers’ these days to choose from for gear as well, makes the market more interesting to see the same gear but done differently :)
Thanks mate :) I want to make another pack one day but do a bit different.
Spongeface walkie talkie soundboard looks awawesome
He is bloody clever!
@The Magic Ghostbuster I got his spengler link kit but the walkie talkie board sounds awesome. His shop is closed atm does he still make these?
@@stewartmcminn7773 I have no idea to be honest but I'd assume he'd still do them if the parts are still available. I'm probably wrong now knowing me!
@@TheMagicGhostbuster when he's available I'll give him a message. Great loadout btw
@@stewartmcminn7773 thanks mate. Fingers crossed he still does them, definitely worth getting
For anyone having trouble sourcing a yellow leg hose, you can dye a clear PVC hose using phenazopyridine hydrochloride pills for urinary and bladder infections, marketed under brand names like AZO. A few pills, dissolved in hot water, soak the hose in it for a few minutes, and it'll be permanently dyed. Afterward, just flush it with warm water, to get the excess color off, so it won't stain your flight suit.
Thanks for the tip :)
Another easier option not sure if all this is needed but its what I threw together and worked really well…
hot water, apple cider vinegar, yellow food dye and turmeric. Left submerged hose about 24 hours.
I'm currently in South Wales watching your show lol
Knew I recognised you from somewhere. Great yo see the flightsuit in person 😁
Oh wow, small world. Hope you enjoyed. I'm walking through the bar in a second to the car. If you're still there say hi :)
@The Magic Ghostbuster I wouldve but I got smalls to watch, was great to see you though. Was hoping the pack would've made an appearance 🙂
@@stewartmcminn7773 no worries :) The costume change was new for the holiday park shows this year. I did use the pack for the first couple of shows but not all the parks have a curtain to set up behind and it was very awkward to set up in front of the audience without them seeing it, and was a faff to transport with all my other gear, so decided to drop it. Talking of dropping I need to drop the flying table from tonight's show as it broke last night, don't think the kids noticed, they were busy going for the sweets 😅 can't fix it until I'm home tomorrow.
@The Magic Ghostbuster my Mrs noticed the broken table 😂😂😂 I think you covered it well tbh nobody else noticed
@@stewartmcminn7773 thanks. Sweets cover everything 🤣🤣
Great video Sir
Thank you 😊
@@TheMagicGhostbuster Got a big bust lined up at Dublin Comic-Con this weekend with Ghostbusters Ireland.
Thanks for keeping the community spirit alive!
@@stephen_donnan awesome. Hope you and they team have a great time. Thanks for keeping the spirit alive too :)
Would you consider selling the matty collector ghost trap? I have been searching for over a decade and it is my absolute holy grail item to have.
Afraid not. Hope you find one, they are very cool
Only one shoulder sleeve patch should be worn and it should be on the left shoulder like the first movie
Correct, the classic logo goes on the left shoulder. Fans groups place their own logo patch on that empty shoulder, which is so traditional it was in one of the official books.
I had a terrible experience with Firehouse props. Honestly, really, really bad, the guy is a little wacky. I've seen people say good things, but he is literally the only person I've had such a terrible experience. Without going into details, I will remember how crappy that guy was forever... Everyone else mentioned, great great people. I found legit leather and metal mt500 cases new old stock still shrinkwrapped for like $10 a piece on ebay. Firehouse charges a ton (no that wasnt my problem, I overspend alot on my stuff). Doug is awesome and answers all your questions. Worked with him for years. But yeah, when I heard "Firehouse Props" I cringed.
So sorry to hear that :( I only dealt with him the once a long time ago. Perhaps I was lucky.
Doug is indeed very awesome!
I forgot to mention great costume and great video! I come back here once in awhile for reference or to compare things. I got a pretty good setup now. Almost everything real.
@@MrFang333333 thanks mate. Glad to hear yours is coming along well. I just bought a new tru spec as it was getting a bit old.
