Barison82's GB1 Uniform Build Thread

Latest arrival - Cocoran 995 MilSpec boots - very comfortable too!

FINALLY…I have managed to get hold of a very-near-to-screen accurate No-Ghost patch, available from Anovos, but pricey when obtaining from the UK (as usual)…but again, worth it!

Here it is being stitched on by my very skilled other half, using a reference photo of the real thing, in order to closely replicate the stitching method.

I’ve been waiting close to 3 years to get a decent patch on my suit!

It took a good while and I worked very hard to get it as close as possible, as well as the positioning of the patch, which has a slight tilt to the left, and I referenced from a screen-grab as best I could.

After putting the flightsuit through the wash for the first time it has softened up the fabric and it wears much better as a result. Can’t wait to get fully kitted up for the first time [emoji4]

The Gibson & Barnes flightsuit was worth every penny.

Finally have the flightsuit finished, after 2 years. Got the new leg hose connector and drilled the holes:

I used a Dremel - no drill press - and had the thing in a clamp. It was touch and go but practised drilling some holes into a few spare hose connectors of all shapes and sizes which were bought in the past, but won’t be used. I didn’t enjoy doing this part very much but don’t think it turned out too badly :wink:

After doing some thorough research, I decided to use the grey connector for GB1. A photo reference from the Gozer scene clearly shows grey connectors - I have to assume the a mix of tan and grey connectors were used on the costumes (i.e on the many spares that were made) and both were seen in the film?

Very happy with the final costume. Just the pack to go…

Looks great dude!

Looks awesome, way to go! You should suit up and take a few pictures with the patches on now!
