Ghostbusters 1/6 scale Customs

[Rambler]

Wow those are great. I haven't seen anyone try those customs before. Everything custom made as far as the camera and sniffer?

 

[Mr.E]

Yes sir. It helps that I own all the real equipment, so reference material is a piece of cake.

Brilliant!!!!

 

[Mr.E]

Thanks guys. These were a minor labor of love. The accessories were put together using various pieces including small wooden pieces (sourced mainly from craft stores, etc.), electrical wire, ribbon, sculpey, metal rods, and other bits and pieces I had around. I also scaled down the actual full size labels to put on the sniffer and Egon's pocket computer/calculator.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys the looks of them. If I had more time I'd offer kits.

Love it! It is spectacular to see something so different and new! Amazing work! You definitely should kit it out someday!

Nice job, I can't believe I never thought to make some like that

 

[Mr.E]

It's part of the reason I went that route: No one else had done it.

Is that Rocco's new Ray?

 

[Mr.E]

^It sure is. Can't wait to get it painted!

 

[Rambler]

And you have done it perfectly too. Well done!

 

[Mr.E]

Thanks Freaks. Y'all are too kind.

[Mr.E]

Thanks Mag! Your GB's turned out fantastic. I'm speechless as to how good they look together.

My heads from Spenser are finally on the way! No more headless Ghostbusters!

Hey guys! Putting together a Venkman with Snyder head. Bought the Mattel 2 pack from gb2 for the body and accessories. I'm changing out the body with a TT, changing out the boots and elbow pads. Anybody have any other mods or suggestions to do with this setup? Did some of you guys dye the jumpsuits? Loving all the customs in here guys, great looking figs!

I went to Mando for elbow pads, you have to make the straps yourself, but that's easy. I would look into some black boots on ebay, I got generic ones. I am considering doing a repaint of the Mattel boots to see what happens.

I did dye to suits a little with good results. I used RIT pearl gray in a small amount! Belt swaps are optional as well. I bought web belts on ebay and painted them whiter with acrylic.

Thanks for the tips brother! What straps did you use? Also when you dyed the jumpsuit do the name tag and ghostbusters logo come off? Or did you leave them on?

Lots of discussion on this earlier in this thread. I got new flight suits and pistol belts, as well as the stuff you did. Only kept the accessories, hose, and black t-shirt from the stock figures.
