So around halloween last year I got bit by a ghostbuster bug and just had to start this project. Always loved ghostbusters, but never really dived into it past watching the movies. ...which is also why I havent shared till now because I was late to find this forum. Anyways, I know it's not "true" to anything, but I wanted something that perhaps non-GBfans would recognize. Scraped together in the 3 weeks between halloween and the release of Afterlife, this is what I came up with:
I plan on starting a costume this year. I've found a flightsuit that fits, ordered some patches, acquired a belt that will work, and downloaded plans for a diy proton pack. I might make a quick scrap build cardboard ghost trap shell for my RC car. But also, I've been adding touches to the bike. Blue beacons and control switches are the highlights. Theres also a green glow coming from the control box, but it's hard to see during the day. My stand-in for a "trap" shoots laser patterns and runs off a switched inverter. It makes for a pretty cool sidewalk prop with all the lights running.
The tail box was mostly for testing. I had just secured the beacons for a ride, and if they didnt want to stay put I would have a place to put them. Luckily I didnt need the box, which is good because I think it detracts from the ecto look. Unfortunately I developed a short in one of the beacon wires. Probrably too close to an engine head. All fused and protected, so the bike electronics are all still fine. Will check it out later this week and keep this updated once I finish the suit and get more/better pictures of its current state.
I'd be interested to know what additions might look good. For example, the clear half dome dish? But I'm not sure thatd look too good while I'm actually on the bike. Thanks for looking.
