Re: Mattel ghostbusters conversion step by step

So after much trial and error I finally came to this as my final pad

the pad is cast in resin and has room for the elbow to bend. I didnt want to make it too tight so that the elastic wont snap and so the arms still be bent sharp. I also cut the tops and bottoms of the elastic to give it a frayed look just like in the film. If this gets the okay from you guys then ill start the run. Any comments/suggestions on these pads please let me know!

The pads look AMAZING Astro. I'm definitely in for a full set of 4 (8 elbow pads). Can't wait to see what the tighter versions look like!
