Hello. My name is Shawn and despite the fact that I live in Australia, I am an American. Costuming is a hobby of mine and attempting ghostbuster suit seems like a fun project. I own a full set of stormtrooper armor, a couple different sets of jedi robes, a set of wizard robes, and two Santa Claus suits (one full custom). I’m mostly into Star Wars, though I enjoy Indiana Jones stuff, reading, and drawing. my interests constantly evolve and I like dabbling in different subjects. Particularly various costumes. I found Ghostbusters Fans through the RPF forums. I was browsing through a thread there about the creation of a [PKE meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter) and saw mention of Ghostbusters Fans in that thread. I’ve liked Ghostbusters since I was a kid and I used to watch the cartoon regularly. I still play [The Real Ghostbusters](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/the-real-ghostbusters-activison) board game when I get my wife to play with me. After I browsed through this website it all looked pretty interesting to me and so I registered. This ought to be fun. ---

Hey Nassik, welcome to the forums. There’s a few other Aussie 501st guys around at the moment, too, GB is really gaining popularity down here in the cosplay world. ---

Despite a long bout of silence I’m still around. I’ve bought a [flight suit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform), a pair of Corcoran 995 side zip boots, a belt, my name and no ghost patches, and a MT-500. Some of those things have yet to be delivered but they’ll get here. Heeding the advice of a few other WA ghostbusters, I’ve opted for the Tru-Spec khaki flight suit. I’ve been in contact with a couple of folks to buy my belt key fobs, [leg hose](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/yellow-hose), and a MT-500 holster. Considering the time, work, and investment involved I’ve chosen to assemble my uniform first.
