I can’t remember exactly, and it’s wedged in Wharin’s holster and never going to come back out but I’m pretty sure it was where the blue arrow is. ![image](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/18/u2urevem.jpg) ---

Yeah, I am having Wharin bolt the battery connector in my holster (as he offered in his thread). The LED isn’t salvageable but Spongeface was kind enough to ship me out a replacement. As soon as that gets here, I will replace the broken LED. ---

Looking good! You are about a week ahead of me with your build. Nice to see what I can look forward to. How do your gloves look? The pair I got from the gbfans store have a decent amount of “powder” stuck to them that won’t come off. ---

I haven’t even taken them out of the packaging to look yet to be honest, I’ve been so focused on the gizmo I have ignored everything else! ---

Small Update… Got my boots!! ![image](http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy241/thebigone2087/AF436CB7-CF78-4B16-955E-B4231F843124_zpsbt9w46oz.jpg) Corcoran 985’s. They fit and feel GREAT. Just need some big wool socks, and they will be even better. I went with the 985’s because of the better sole. As state above, it can get pretty snowy and nasty here in Baltimore so they better they grip the better for me. P.S… Quantico Boot had good prices and free shipping but took over 2 weeks to ship and I didn’t get tracking info until the day they were delivered and had to request it. The boots are great…service was meh. ---

Go get some mink oil. It helped mine soften up. ---

Been a while, but I figured I’d post this experience. So I finished the uniform the other day in preparation for Baltimore Comic-Con. I didn’t take any photos of that process but I should be able to post a finished photo here soon. I was excited to finally get the suit together with the pack and cosplay at the con since I have never done anything like that before. It was easily the most rewarding experience of my life. In the 5 hours I was there, no less than about 70 people asked for my photo and had questions upon questions for me about the suit and pack and I even had the University of Maryland do and interview with me about the Con as they thought my uniform was one of the coolest they had seen… i certainly name dropped [gbfans.com](http://gbfans.com) a few time 😉 Shortly before I left, which an aching back and sore feet I hear this faint voice of excitement. I turn around and see this little girl, all of maybe 5 years old come running up to me with her mom with a massive smile on her face. As she got closer, I noticed she had a tiny little ghostbusters [flight suit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform) on and a ‘proton pack’ make of cardboard that didn’t resemble anything i have ever seen… but it had lights! We took a few photos and in talking to her mom, she said that she always wanted to meet a ghostbuster and was so excited to see one she couldn’t contain herself. It was an awesome experience and the little girl was grinning ear to ear. I will absolutely be doing this again. If anyone has ever had doubts about cosplaying as a ghostbuster, let me tell you, its moments like that that make the pain in your pack, legs, and feet all worth it. Baltimore Comic-Con 2014… success. ---
