I think the whole idea of dressing up in the ghostbuster style is that you are supposed to have the same as they did, that would be tan, not green!!  :nana:

Talking of dressing up I go through Twickenham every day and have done for many years I spotted a shop with Star Wars gear in it so went in

Now I'm not very observant I only noticed the shop about 2 months ago (acording to the owners its been there for many years)

Oh boy did I get a suprise it's the company that did the original Star Wars gear for the film they charge £995 for a Full Storm Trouper outfit (it actualy looks worth it the amount of gear you get even an under suit to stop it rubbing)

anyway this is their web site

http://www.sdsprops.com

They also do other stuff but if I win the pools guess what I'll be buying (always wanted to be a Storm Trouper  :biggrin:)

SDS and Andrew Ainsworth were sued in America by Lucasfilm and banned from selling his unlicensed armour over there - he's also being chased in the UK too, as Lucasfilm reckon his claims of making armour "from the original moulds" are incorrect.  SDS armour is thinner and more prone to cracking, as many troopers have found out, so for the cost it's not outstanding quality.  My armour came from a dude in Canada, is thicker, and so far I've not damaged it and I'm a clumsy mare at the best of times!  You can get better armour for a lot less than SDS gear  :thumbs:

Anyway, back on topic - I've now raised over £100 from my online sponsor page, woooo!!   :banana: :banana:

I've decided to wear my Ghostbusters overalls for this event, my screen-accurate Nomex flightsuit and pistol belt are here, I got my name patch done, and my Ghostbusters arm patch is on its way.  Gonna bid for one of those "fancy dress" inflatable Proton Packs on eBay as my proper Proton Pack isn't built yet and is DEFINITELY not safe for Bocking in (weighs a ton and cost the earth).  An inflatable one should be a useful cushion if I end up stacking it again  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

You can be Slimer :P  :nana: :biggrin: :thumbs:

If I win the inflatable proton pack on eBay there will be a sete of overalls that come with it - in no way screen accurate, it's just a cheap fancy dress kit, but if anyone else wants to be a "Buster" with me then I'll lend you the Fancy Dress overall :D
