Hey all!
Just wanted to post a quick note to see if anyone here was in Nebraska.
It has been my experience that this state, fan groups are very lacking.
Hope some one is from around here, besides me!
Sorry, I joined recently, but I too, am from Nebraska. It’s tough not being able to find others here who love Ghostbusters as much as we do. But maybe they’re all just hiding…
New here, from Lincoln. Working on on uniform and hopefully a pack soon. Once things are done I’ll be a little more active.
Hi Hastings here. Nice to see people from Nebraska finally! If anyone around here needs any advice or just to talk give me a buzz.
How many of you Nebraska Ghostbusters can we expect to see at Contagion: Outbreak next month?
When where and what is it?
Aaron, it looks like fun!
Hey thanks alot Sam!
Hey, Omaha here. Just getting my feet under me with a costume for this Halloween, but shooting for a pack build this winter.
Hey nice to see another Nebraskan about time!
Heh. I started thinking about interesting projects or costumes I could work on at the newish Omaha makerspace, and Ghostbusters was one of the first things that popped into my head, simply because even after the proton pack there’s so many dang props you could build out. To boot, all of them have light and sound effects, so I get to have fun with electronics too.
building your own stuff takes awhile yes but is very fun!
Hey ajbernard, were you planning on heading into Omaha for any of the Ghostbusters showings? They’re playing at the AMC 24 Oakview, right by Center and 144th.
im not for certian if I can go or not. As much as I would love too im not sure I would be able to make it due to work. Thats awesome they are playing it there your so damn lucky!
Let me know if you can make it. We should meet up.
sure will do hows the pack coming?
Haha, pretty slowly right now. I’ve been focused on doing research and finishing the outfit. The current plan is to tackle a belt gizmo build first, and then to start building the buck for the mold in the late fall. I -think- we’re going to go with liquid plastic for the shell, instead of fiberglass. At least at the moment, the goal is to build as much of our own stuff as we can (which probably means learning to resin cast, woo).
My hope is to have the bulk of the work done by spring, but clearly that’s dependent on the ability to get parts.
yeah at least your in omaha where you have alot more options. Ive always made mine out of wood so im not certian on the fiberglass technique. Someday I will try a shell but I just enjoy the good old do it yourself I guess.
A and M surplus in Bellvue is great to get the alice frame straps and suti. Cheap prices too.
I bought the Alice off AJ but I may need to switch the strap configuration depending on which he’s sending, so that’s helpful, thanks. I tried to go when I was collecting materials for my suit but they were closed. 
Do they have actual Nomex suits there?
