Hello

my name is Justin aka “Bigmac” but when i registered it was already taken, so knight will just have to do oh well. I am 27 years old and from Australia, i love the movies and have really wanted to be a ghostbuster as a kid. I am in the 501st legion and have a couple of costumes completed and just started on another one. And while getting parts for this new star wars costume 4 guys in my garrison where doing ghostbuster costumes for a themselves and one had a friend who is making a small fan made film for his uni course.

So i though i would help them at first as a support crew member at the big conventions here in Australia, as i was not going to get the whole package eg: [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack), goggles, and foot trap. And lucky for me a guy on the for sale thread in the 501st legion had some stuff for sale a Large khaki [flight suit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform) which is a tight fit, belt, a non function proper radio, mattle [PKE meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter) still in box, black gloves. But now i think i will slowly build up and get a proton pack and maybe even a foot trap.

so now too finish a basic suit i need a new flight suit, and just boots which i am in the process of getting, and the guys are helping me just a bit.

Cheers Justin “Knight”

Hey Trigger Happy my self and Tachyon are both in the Redback garrison up here in Queensland. After seeing tachyon’s and his other friend’s [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) it made me go crazy as they look so cool.

But Tach said that as i love big guns being that i now have 2 working prop mini gun’s for my star wars costumes, maybe i could do a slim blower and then it hit me, and i liked the idea. it will take some time and i probably won’t start it until the end of the year but it will one cool project to do.
