awsome jon. cant wait to get those figs and all the bits with them!!

News from the front AKA me haha.

I wanted to have them done a week or so ago but work caught up with me. Good news is that last night the first few completed pads rolled off the line and this weekend I should be able to get out the first half of people. Stay tuned and ill update this with some photos sometime tonight or tomorrow.

Re: Mattel ghostbusters conversion step by step

btw, we all spoke about the different colours of the flight suit, the shades etc, i found this which looks close to me when i compare it to stills frm the movie. its actually a combination of 2 rit dyes, yellow and a brown. which they are calling it camel on this list.

Re: Mattel ghostbusters conversion step by step

Thats a pretty damn color. The only thing I would suggest is to somehow lighten the suits a little more since they already have a tan color to them. Maybe you can do some experimenting on a spare bit of cloth?

yeah i will, and yeah i knw they are already pretty much tanned already. u cud jst go straight with a pearl grey as usaid but a very small amount so it slightly adds a grey tone to it?

The Mattel figures do come with trap holsters on the belt. You don't have to have them hangin like that, unless you really want to.

Re: Mattel ghostbusters conversion step by step

Hm. I was wondering what those things were. How are the traps supposed to fit in 'em? Is there a particular angle or direction they go in? Anyone got a photo?

Thanks!
