I figured I’d be best starting a new thread instead of clogging up the Magnoli thread.
I have most of what I need for this with very little that I want to change but I will be looking in to getting a new Gizmo at some point in the near future.
To start off, here are some pics that I’ve posted on another thread showing the Magnoli suit as it arrived.
As much as i like the Magnoli Noghost patch, and I do think it’s a fantastic version.
It’s not quite as accurate as I’d like.
Given how accurate the suit is, I really want to do it justice by having the best Noghost patch on there that there is in terms accuracy so I decided to remove the Magnoli patch which I’ll put to good use elsewhere and I’ve opted to replace it with the Uber accurate Todd Cook Designs Stantz patch.
The hose connector I had bought wasn’t quite as accurate as i was lead to believe so I’ve ordered a replacement from the GBfans store.
In other news though, I managed to get a hold of a black thermal waffle weave crewneck shirt which is a nice bump up in accuracy to the costume over the usual generic black tee I’d normally wear under the flight suit.
I primed and painted the Nixie bracket yesterday, then today I built the error box, added the bracket and aligned everything.
I used some little strips from the sheet of round decals for the white chipsets to add the missing connecting strip on each one and soldered in all of the empty connections on the board as per the original.
I had a bit of a misshap while I was soldering in the wires for the large Sanyo chip but that’ll be easy enough to fix with a desoldering tool.
I’m waiting for paint to dry on the large Sanyo chip right now, so hopefully I’ll be able to put the finishing touches to the Gizmo over the next couple of days.
You can also see Dan wearing one in the jail cell scene.
He has the waffle shirt on with a plain black tee underneath .
They don’t always wear the waffle shirts, sometimes it is just a plain, untextured tee but due to film grain it’s really difficult to be able to tell definitively in most shots.
Finished the Belt Gizmo today and added it to my belt.
With that, my uniform is fully upgraded.
I’ll need to do a full test suit up soon to see if I need to make any adjustments before I start attending events again once the finishing touches to my pack are completed.

Dan also wears two layers in the jail scene, although he wears the waffle shirt as the outer layer with a tee underneath.
There may be more scenes like that, possibly even with Harold and Ernie but the film grain present in the movie makes it extremely difficult to say definitively in most scenes.
