Been digging your video work man, well done!
The Portrait Dude thank you! I’d like to get together with you for a video project sometime!
To get a yellow connector hose, you can also boil the vinyl hose in a pot of water with the spice turmeric. It gives the hose a great yellow coloring to it.
Wish I saw this before I bought a pair of expensive dishwashing gloves! 😂 great video! I will definitely be using some of these!
Imma get a brown suit and dye the collars and cuffs green to make a real Ghostbusters venkman one
geraldine woods sounds like a fun project. Fair bit of warning, most fabric dyes work best on 100% cotton. The flight suit I have is a 65/35 polyester/ cotton mix and probably wouldn’t take dye very well. So I recommend you look for dye that works with polyester.
Spirit Halloween is now selling the RGB Venkman colored jumpsuits now. If you didn't know that already.
I knew that
I also knew that, but that you. lol
Great video! Thanks for the links. When it comes to the proton pack I personally prefer creating custom versions with unique designs & different light patterns rather than sticking to the movie version.
Also if somebody hasn't already suggested it....
If you have one where you live, check out an Army Surplus store for the flight suits and elbow pads
I would really like to see an updated version of this video. The flight suit is now up wards of 70 dollars
My stepdad was a pilot so what's funny is when I decided to do this, I basically had access to a walk-in closet full of Ghostbusters uniforms, and got a nice tan one which was closest in color to the original also standard issue combat boots look really good in these outfits already had a pair
Finally putting together a busting uniform, for whenever Halloween is a thing again. Thanks for helping me along. I figure I'll drop about $350-400 on it, and leave room to improve it over the years.
I considered doing an off-duty buster for more like $200, but...ever since I was a kid, and I shook the coins outta my Oliver Hardy bank, and went down to Zayre's (Ocean State represent! 😆) to buy my very own Kenner Real Ghostbusters Proton Pack, I've always always always wanted a pack. haha The Spirit version, I can definitely weather down and work with. Especially after mounting it on an ALICE frame.
I don't buy from Amazon anymore, but eBay and army surplus are saving me a few bucks off Amazon prices, and offering up more goodies.
Thanks again, you do good work. I read that Primer article before stopping here, and it's an invaluable resource...I like your presentation of the information found there. 😎👍
New subscriber. I love the topics you deal with. I am also just some nerd. I hope you keep making videos!
Thank you, Gino DePolo ART !
Happy Ghostbusters Day everyone!!!!!!!! :D
The belt is realky white in the orginial nobie, they were just dirty
Not sure why this just came up in my YT algorithm as I've already watched and rated it. Lol
But just a reminder to say this a great video James! Well done!
Thanks dude, I appreciate the love! Hope to see you at a con or something this year!
@@JustSomeNerd Yeah I'm hoping so as well!
I know you have a Matty wand but, I have checked out the Spengler Afterlife Wand yet?
Thank you so much for this Video from Germany!
Good hunting!
3:39 Or you could just get some real snaps and skip the hot glue.
They're not that hard to attach to fabric.
Anyone who's even remotely into making things should definitely have the basic setting tools for snaps and rivets. They're cheap, they're simple, they work, and you can make so much great stuff. 👍
Great Work, Great Tips, Many Thanks
A cool suit i always want to be a ghost buster i am gonna by that costume at amazon if it is hollowen👻🔫👨🔬🧪
good video but is it just me or is the audio too low?
Wait did you have black gloves
Can we get the ecto goggle video
Yes
ua-cam.com/video/IY2RkiymVFA/v-deo.html
Where can I get an A.L.I.C.E Frame for my spirit proton pack?
Frame: amzn.to/2QlicTR
Just the Straps: amzn.to/2PItN1W
If you're going to add an ALICE frame to your Spirit pack you will need to make a new mother board first so you have something solid to attach it to.
I'm probs being stupid but the little hose pipe attachment that goes on the flight suit, how did you attach it without sewing? Magnets?
In the movie it’s just tucked into their belts.
@@JustSomeNerd Also the actual holder on the front left leg?
Could you make your own Ghostbusters "OC" ?
hey man i stumbled across this video on Thingiverse attached the Synch Generator you printed designed by (tgoacher ) Was just curious if u don"t mind giving me some tips if you used his designs for everything? if so were did u mount your electronics?
Thanks for the question, ozzman39. I used his model for all of the main parts. It’s been about a year since I did mine so it’s not super fresh in my memory. For the lights, this is what I used. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F132687021176
They are pretty nice. Very bright. If you have any specific questions or need more details you can shoot me a message on Facebook @ Just Some Nerd. Hope that’s helpful and thanks for watching. Hope to do more GB related videos in the future.
great video...I'm interested in putting together a screen quality pack like I see behind you. (with a working trap)
Rob Ciccone good luck with your build! Hope I was able to point you in the right direction for a few things.
@@JustSomeNerd Definitely. The suit and small equipment looks like it will be a quick assembly. The biggest and most detailed will be the pack, and trap.
My pack & trap are both 3D printed. No videos on those, but if you dig back on my Facebook page you’ll be able to find some progress photos and stuff.
@@JustSomeNerd That's awesome. I'll take a look at the page. How involved is the electrical work, with lights and sounds FX?
I bought a simple light kit from an eBay seller (sellers name is Jupiter something). For sounds, I have one of the Mattel wands that has its own sound effects. So the way I did it was very simple. Others have much more involved setups.
Is the jumpsuit comfortable to wear?
KoopaUniverse it’s a little awkward to put on, but once it’s on it’s pretty comfortable. Unless it’s 90 degrees of course. lol
Thanks dude!
A $248 proton pack isn't exactly cheap, imo. Couldn't one be made using a combination of 3D Printing, pvc and other cheap parts from reference pics?
At the time of recording that Spirit Halloween pack was around $60 I believe & of course you could make a DIY pack. Since this video was made several other replica packs at various price points have been released too.
Hey man for more quick question sorry for my belt I got RIT charcoal gray do you think that would be OK
The charcoal gray is probably a darker shade than the pearl gray. I think I might of used the charcoal gray on my ROTJ Luke Skywalker costume.
Just Some Nerd OK I think it turned out OK
I like this video but now it’s been six years and the proton packs I like $264 Have a 3-D printer
Yo I live in WV Nicolas county
Tiernan Tingler you should come to Mountain State Pop Expo!
Bonjour à tous je recherche les composants pour finir mon pack à protons que je suis en train de faire tu seras fini fin avril si quelqu'un peut me dire où je peux trouver tous les composants pour finir mon pack à protonssi quelqu'un connais un endroit où je peux me procurer tout les composants qui me face signe
How many came here just to see where to get a dope proton pack? Just me?...ok
That’s dam hiss in the background is really off putting. Denoise effect in PR should sort it
Thanks for the tip, Thunderlips. 🌩👄
Sadly there are no khaki colored suits for anything above 3XL. If you are fat or obese, no ghosbustering for you, you are fucked.
Thank you for this video.... I totally overlooked the clear hose.... I went to Home Depot today and bought some, though I had to get 3/8 in. instead because I couldn't find couplings that fit correctly
From one Buster to another, great vid!
nerdyviews thank you!
When I was 16, I found a pair of Corcoran jump boots in my size at a thrift store. I think I paid $12 or something absurd like that. Wore em every day for years...to school, to punk shows, to work. 25 years later, I still have em, and unlike every boot I've bought since, they remain 100% intact. They were made to take a LOT of wear. No side zip, but otherwise perfect for Ghostbusting. Also perfect for The Crow, Alex from A Clockwork Orange...I've gotten a lot of Halloween mileage out of them. haha
For the elbow pads, I bought Black tactical SWAT pads from a surplus. They look great.
That's where I got mine .
My boots and flight suit too
Another GB fan from WV here, awesome video, I'm looking to piece together my own suit and pack for Halloween this year.
Thanks for the info!
Atari Metalhead you’re welcome!
Atari Metalhead since you’re in WV, if you don’t have any plans this weekend you should come out to the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, WV. 30’ tall Stay Puft will be on display Saturday & Sunday.
Thanks For Posting This!! I’m planning to make a GB 2 Costume I’ll probably win my school’s costume contest lol
Potato good luck with your costume!
Just Some Nerd Thanks!
Very nice dude! Since this is a work in progress this was insanely helpful.
Ryan Kelbel thank you!
Im starting a cosplay costume as a ghostbusters as well will be my first year right now im modifying my proton pack and wand 👍🏻👍🏻
Love your video and channel very well put together, defiantly deserves more subs, cosplayers don't get that much recognition!
YamiKlaus thank you for watching!
I totally restored my spirit Halloween pack it's looking verygood.
I appreciate this, I just got the Life Size Proton Pack by Spirit Halloween, I just need the suit and belt really cause I'm not going for SUPER accurate, just the most accurate and recognizable I need to be for a Halloween party. The PKE Meter and trap is something I gotta wait on cause I've already backed the HasLab Two in the Box set from last year so it's gonna be when they come in I get them. So far the Proton Pack and Two in the Box set are the most expensive parts of the costume and I'm REALLY not willing to go out of my way on the boots to be super accurate for something I might not wear often. Belt, gloves, and maybe a set of goggles is on the table...but the goggles are the most "Maybe" of the things. I am a little dubious about the Ebay patches if only cause while I'd like my name on the patch...it feels weird, but then again they gotta have your name anyway to ship it to you.
How tall are you bro? I bought two truspec flight suits from L to M..they're still big for me..i thought S size would be ridiculous for me but lately im considering to buy it..yours seems to fit just right..
Bought my flight suit from an army surplus for 25 bucks
The flight suit is okay but the front pockets look dum and if rather get the real deal.
How’d you put on the pvc fittings for the leg hose connector
Old Video but quick question. for the leg tube did you just screw the fitting on top of your pants (what i mean is put one fitting underneath the pant leg and one on top)? Or something else? How did you get the fitting onto the pant leg without sewing it on?
Malcolm Reynolds, you just screw it together With your suit fabric sandwiched in between.
Love the key fob hacks and googlie eyes to simulate ribbets. When is your next video? :)
Sound goes out at 1:01
Nice! I used to live in hurricane
For my gloves I will be using my welding gloves. They are blue, but they will do just fine.
Quinn Dickens paint them black
That's what's up
Any plus size fans out there have an leads on a flight suit bigger than 3Xl in Khaki? I've found them in Black and green... but no dice on Khaki.
Is the Ghostbusters 2 jumpsuit also from Amazon?
Hey Geoperez, thanks for the question!
Here is a link to the suit you see in the background in the video.
amzn.to/2KLK8Sa
The screen worn suits were actually dark gray, not navy. They just look navy because of the lighting. So the way some people go is buying the The Tru-Spec suit in black and using RIT dye remover to make it gray.
amzn.to/2ulUVqZ
The Tru-Spec suit also comes in navy. Here is a link to GB Fans that might be helpful for you in choosing a flight suit.
www.gbfans.com/wiki/Flight_Suit
Any tips for a child's flight suit? In the UK especially its impossible to find one with a reasonable amount of pockets and detail. Only super thin cheap and nasty ones with fake zips on the chest.
This might not be helpful for you in the UK and it is a different color, but this is a nice flight suit that comes in kids sizes. amzn.to/3drWKwR
Last question i am having a terrible time with the leg hose. The video was quick to go over ways to do it or how it would screw on. Any suggestions or clarifications? I tried 2 different ways and it didnt work. I like the idea of the screw on hose and be able to remove it without damaging the suit.
justin hansen hmmm mine just screws right on without any issues. If you shoot me a message over on Facebook I’ll see if I can get a little video attaching it to my suit to show you.
I took some 1/2" vinyl tubing (bought at Home Depot) and boiled it in water mixed with ground turmeric until it was permanently stained a solid yellow. I then used a 1/2" PVC male nipple and glued that to the end of the tubing, which was cut to length. I then bought a threaded 1/2" female PVC pipe union (it comes in 3 pieces), screwed the top part of it to the nipple and then "attached" it to the flight suit by screwing the middle part from the inside of the uniform to the top part on the outside of the leg. You don't need the third part. There problem solved.
Oh yeah, and don't forget to spray paint the nipple black and the PVC union gray. I then finished it off by tucking the other end of the tubing into my utility belt, since that is basically what the guys do with it in the movie.
Any thoughts on safest and best way to hold the wand to the belt when not on the proton pack? Its done in the movie and i have spirit proton pack just not sure how to temp hold the wand to the belt at times. Thanks! I enjoyed the video too! Great tips! Very helpful
I don’t have mine set up to clip to my belt (that’s something I should work on myself) but the wand on the spirit pack is super light so I’m sure you could use one of the dog collar clips I talk about to clip it to your belt. Maybe hot glue some of the nylon cord to the wand and clip it to one of the key chains on your belt. It’s so light I wouldn’t worry about hurting it much.
U-clip for washing machine hoses
I am using one of those for my custom GB cosplay.
John Tinsley cool! Got any pics or anything so i can get some comparisons going?
This has been some very encouraging and helpful advice! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Man this video helped me out for this Halloween. ANYBODY SEEN A GHOST?!?!?!??!??!
did the audio go ut or is it just me?
saskiot just you
Dude what about the packs, what about the packs
Check out the links in the description for more info on the packs. Links are a few years old now so hopefully they are still working. One is the spirit pack & one is 3D printed.
I love it ghostbusters! I have one proton pack spirit halloween, & i'm building one pinterest 3d.
Would you use a black ghostbusters flight suit or navy blue flight suit
SmokyBacon XD the suits used in GB2 are actually gray, but look blue on screen. Personally I got a navy blue suit for the GB2 costume I made.
@@JustSomeNerd okay awesome and also that’s kinda funny
Thanks for the help in building my suit
Great job on the video man! Me and my Ghostbusters team thanks you for the leg hose hack with the PVC piping. That’s gonna make washing our suits a lot easier!
I’ve actually got the Spirit Halloween pack and upgraded it with things from eBay, Amazon, and my local hardware store. A fellow Ghostbuster that had a screen accurate pack said it looked pretty legit to him.
buckshot213 I’m happy to hear you found it helpful! Eventually I want to do some modifications to my Spirit pack, just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
I just found an old PVC union on eBay that's gonna look great. $1.99. 😁👍
Hey dude were do you get the Dog collars because im using em for the keychains
Mine came from Dollar Tree.
@@JustSomeNerd Thank You!
ghostbusters is my fav movie dude and i now know what to get now thanks to you! best nerd ever
Like the video! If it helps the fan website has the elbows in the right color.
Great video man! I should make this sometime.
Thanks! I hope you do make one!
Dear Just Some Nerd,
I recently developed a love for Ghostbusters, and I'd like to do a cosplay of it sometime. Thank you for uploading this video; you're a God-send! Just one question though: When cosplaying as a Ghostbuster on a budget, are GB cosplay critics at cons a regular occurrence? Like, superfans who can afford 100% screen accurate everything pointing out every flaw with a budget cosplay? Or am I overthinking things? Overall, I'd like to just have fun without getting hassled. Any thoughts on this?
sulacomarine while you will no doubt come across people online who can act a little stuck up towards budget cosplayers it is a very rare occurrence to come across people in real life that would have anything negative to say about your budget costume. We all have to start somewhere! Try and not let the haters keep you for doing the things you enjoy! 🚫👻
I've always heard it's an unwritten rule among Cosplayers.... NEVER criticize another Cosplayer's outfit
@@jimbear62 You'd be surprised then. I've been to quite a few cons in my area where cosplay snobs ruin it for everybody. Some even go on social media and trash talk about how "awful" it was and how that person in question should stop cosplaying altogether
A local Army Surplus store was having a inventory reduction sale . I lucked into a perfect pair of boots in my size (13), like the ones in the movie, for only $10.
jimbear62 Great find!
Nice work man! I’d like more info on that leg hose connector
Hey William, I have links in the description to the PVC leg connectors & the 3D models. What exactly would you like more info about?
I'm curious what it connects to on the belt and how to set that up.
Hey Robert, In the movie they just have the hoses tucked into their belts. It isn’t connected to anything. For my costume I took one of the plastic clasps from the dog collars and attached it to the belt like the other key chains. Then I hot glued the other end of the clasp to the hose so it snaps into the key chain. IDK if that’s the best way to do it & it isn’t screen accurate, but it works for me.
That probably explains why I've never seen anyone explain where the hose goes. Thanks!
Robert, if you look closely at pictures from the flick you’ll notice the hose is worn differently by all on them.
Thanks for the help. Everything you said was rigth on the money.
Glad you found the video helpful.
How much money did you use on spool for the proton pack print.
Maybe two rolls of filament. Not that much.
How hard was it to assemble and paint?
I want to be ray but I cannot find his patch do you know where that I can find them
Spider Kid check the link I have in the video description. You should be able to buy tags with any name on them including the movie characters.
Just Some Nerd it’s weird I can find every name but Stantz
Get a custom patch and get his name on it
Hi Life saver. What Kind of spray paint for the pads?
Yanery Rivera check out the links in the description. I have a link for paint & white & gray elbow pads. Gray is currently out of stock, but fingers crossed they restock soon. 🤞🏻
Great ideas. I am putting together my own costume and my question is, what is the leg hose and what does it attach to?
Tom's Test Kitchen in the movie they just have it tucked into their belts. You should be able to find some reference pics online pretty easily.
