How To Put Together A Ghostbusters Cosplay

[@thisisforourhome]

I love the fact that at the start you put a lot of emphasis on making sure you talk about people who don't do screen accurate aren't wrong, they just took their own route. I feel like a lot of new Ghostbuster cosplayers need to hear that because it helps them become more confident in becoming creative and really opening their imagination to how they'd want their own Ghostbuster to look. Much props to you for that, you're amazing!

[@Cosplayvicar]

Thanks. I do think the Ghostbuster is a great one to build your own and do you thing.

[@landrecce]

The glasses were a sweet touch!

[@Rodimus13ShelfSpace]

My spouse and I both are part of our local "franchise" for Ghostbusters. This is pretty spot on to how we put our stuff together. We both use Hasbro's PKE Shockers for our PKE Meters. I just took them apart and repainted them (mine is a more screen accurate look, theirs is a custom color scheme they picked out).

[@InsidetheBoothTV]

love the video.. I did Ghostbusters too.. and I made up my own packs and such.. it is fun!

[@SheathEntertainment]

8:23 hey just a quick correction about the belt gizmo, it’s actually a device meant to prevent electric static discharge, not regulate the proton pack (this was stated from Dan himself). The ion arm houses the proton pack’s CPU regulation function

I got my elbow pads off Amazon, they were the perfect color but, had a company name on them. A pair of tweezers , a craft knife and a little patience , I think they look perfect

[@Cosplayvicar]

Amazing. I steamed the logo off mine with a kettle. Worked a dream.

How much were they I’m looking now and they’re £45

[@jimbear62]

@@LuvcatsKittenClub The type I bought are made by CANON . Currently they are $ 18.95 USD

[@jimbear62]

If you have one in your area.. You can get the flight suit & belt at a Military Surplus store

[@Cosplayvicar]

We don’t tend to have them in the uk. But great shout if you do.

[@ianashby6294]

I got the no ghost patches today looking for a pair of overalls

Do you remember what hose pipe brand or type you got from B&Q? I’m trying to find a pipe for my costume and wanna make sure I don’t accidentally grab the wrong one

[@Cosplayvicar]

Good question. I don't think it had a brand. In memory, it was on a roll and I cut the amount I needed.

[@mrcritical6751]

@@Cosplayvicar ah ok, guess I’ll just have to see what my local B&Q’s got. Thanks

[@pablobratcat]

What would you recommend for Phoebe's hair?

[@Cosplayvicar]

That’s a great question. I don’t have any experience with wigs. Using pen hair is always the best option. If it’s not possible I guess I would be finding a good wig.

[@reysokas]

Golden video! This is gonna be a huge help in working on my Phoebe cosplay! I don't suppose you know how similar her version is to the original movie's? In that version of Egon's flight suit she wears, does she still have the hose and things like that? Struggling to find good references so wondered if you had a greater knowledge or arsenal!

[@Cosplayvicar]

Your right there is little reference. But I think she has a hose connector but no hose. Several of the toys that have come out like the funko toy show a hose connector and no hose. Hope that helps.

[@pablobratcat]

Is the flight suit Dickies? I know they make other coveralls.

[@Cosplayvicar]

Hey. It’s not a Dickies. If you want most screen accurate it would be the Nomex CWU-27/P Flight Suit.

[@Kragar01]

Better recipe for yellow hose pipe is apple cider vinegar, yellow food colouring, turmeric and hot water, add in a bucket, soak hose for 24 hours. I just eyeballed and guessed amounts, threw it all together to see what happened and the pipe came out a perfect yellow.

[@stewartmcminn7773]

The original packs were all different anyway, they wasn't meant to come off a assembly line they were pretty much kit bashed. I personally prefer making the packs your own 🙂

[@davejohnson6202]

Wish you could pick those pke meters up for a 100 quid I can't find one for that price I wish lol 350 is the lowest iv seen em for

[@Cosplayvicar]

I realise that now. I bought mine a few years ago. Checked eBay. Paid £94 for it…. And it was brand new. Looks like they go for £350 basic. This is where the spirit Halloween ones are a win.

[@davejohnson6202]

@@Cosplayvicar ya I got a rubies but can't beat the Mattel one just a different class tbh and so so close to the film one I hold in hope I may find one but there like rocking horse poo lol I'm waiting for my pack to come from the U.S from some one called Mike who runs karnivorous creations

[@trekgod3]

Here in the states, the PKE meters were on clearance earlier this year at Walmart for $5 US, and the traps for $15 US

[@stevencarter8801]

How to put tag the name on flight suit?

[@Cosplayvicar]

Depends on your suit. Some come with a Velcro strip on so seen people have velcroed theirs name tag on. I prefer to stitch. So mine is sewn on. Iron on tends to peel off

[@jimbear62]

I have mine ironed on and stitched for reinforcement

[@SuperTurtlemandude1]

Only thing is I can’t find a good walkie talkie

[@Cosplayvicar]

Do you 3D print? I found a good file on thingiverse.

[@Nzchimeran]

$1000 for a proton pack is ludicrous , can make one out of foam for about $40

[@Cosplayvicar]

You certainly can, and use foam parts. I wanted to use as many of the actual work parts as I could. The Alice LC1 frame was £80 itself. You can’t use a knock off on of those if you using natal parts, they just came apart. Also mine has lights and sounds with trigger buttons.

[@Nzchimeran]

@@Cosplayvicar but the one in your link is over $1000

[@Cosplayvicar]

@@Nzchimeran That’s only if you want a resin kit. I do say on the video choose what level you want to aim for.

[@Cosplayvicar]

@@Nzchimeran worth seeing the video on making a proton pack. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ennLh5Jqj9ysgcU
