Be a Ghostbuster for Halloween!

Step 2 First the suit

The suit is a standard beige flight suit. You'll also want black rubber gloves, black boots and a military style belt. The arm pads are actually knee pads from a sporting goods store- mine aren't the "correct" ones but they were cheap.The "no ghost" patches and name patches can be purchased here: http://www.scifigeeks.com/index.php/cPath/4324_4325_5595

The pouch on the belt is a modified tape measure holder with little lamps glued onto an old circuit board. The actual movie ones used Nixie tubes... Use another old circuit and attach a coiled phone cord to it- this then hooks onto the back of the belt. The clear hose (it's a mystery)goes from the front of the suit (use a hose barb through the fabric) and attaches to the back of the belt. There is also a keychain clip that goes on the front of the belt- they used it to hold the proton wand in the movie. The name patch I used was made with velcro and fabric paint.

hey are you on gbfans.com ?

[Honus]

Yep- I just haven't been there in a very long time.

The suit is a desert version of the flight suit usually can be found for less than 20 bucks at an army surplus.

Great Suit! I have to make 30 of them for a special needs program for next summer..... Can you tell me how tall the name patch is? Thanks.

[Honus]

The name patch should measure about 5" long x 1.75" tall.

Thanks. -dramaplay

Hey, thanks for the info. Now I have another question. How did you attach the hose barb to the suit?

[Cerberus894]

Hey man, nice work on the suit, and the pack. I have many questions for you, but the first is where did you get the velcro for the name patch? I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement for the actual name patch other than buying a bunch of patches with my name on it.

[Honus]

I bought some wide velcro from a hardware store and put the name on using fabric paint.

so I'm guessing that you would get the beige flight suit form and army surplus store right... or is there a website for it?

My husband made this costume this last year for Halloween. He got his tan coveralls from this store...

He also bought goggles and boots there too to complete his outfit..

The total for his order was under $30! Cheap!

For his "backpack" he painted a box black with a bunch of buttons on it and attached an old shop vac hose...

I have found them online but that was several years ago- I'm sure they're still available.

[michael lively]

so like it is something that you have to stumble upon.

[Gakki]

Do a search for "surplus Flight suit" you'll find them quick. Nomex is the most acurate and also the most expensive.

Your link to the "no ghost" patch is broken. Can you please fix that?

[Honus]

Done!

[jslocum]

Saw these pretty cheap.
