well…
Need to make/paint:

Gun Mount
Gun
my big rush was 2 weeks ago for a convention, then last week for another event… This week I only made some adjustment, and had it relax.
Tonight I need to prep everything to bring to work tomorrow. 
I used a bottle of contact lens fluid.
Need brand, photo preferably. Is it the right shape and size, or just something close?
Gghostguy: I used 3" abs pvc pipe from lowe’s.. they also make a test capo for it as well there, to close off the end, and yoiu can hack it with a hacksaw.. plus, it even comes in black. If you are brave and have the time, you can even drill out the round openings rather then using stickers or painting them on. Hot melt glue it one for the “welded” look, and then paint the hot glue gloss black with a brush.
if you decide to drill out the holes, just use a drill hole cutter attachement.. if you bought a pack for the other work, then odds are you’ll have the proper size. (walmart has the set for $5 by the drills.)
For the inner white "filter, just cut a section off a pringles can, spray paint that flat white, and slip it perfectly inside the pipe!
This looks more film accurate to me, and the work in making them was VERY easy. Warning: abs plastic stinks when you cut the grooves in it to fit on your generator/cakepan cyclotron.. Do that outdoors! (Also, make a paper pattern for that cut first.. the fit can be a bit of a pain in the rump.)
I did two in about an hour and a half.
Well I am NOT done!
I’M A VERY BUSY MAN!
well lets see…
stuff i need to finish:
//attach vhook to gun/pack
//rig up some type of hook to hang gun on belt.
//attach tubing and stickers to pack
//attach banjos to gun
the end is near.
Good luck. you deserve something good for the H day, you worked hard on it.
I’m still working some too, Caddy.. adding last minute clear printed foil stickers, finishing up my gun, doing the sticker for the goggles, and washing the van for the ghostbuster magnets.
Lots of little things to do.. like um.. the mounts for our guns on our packs.. Yikes!
for those are still working…I only have to say one thing…don’t worry to much. Even V71 talked about the nights he was spray painting just hours before heading out. I have faith that everyone will be able to show off their work on H day and will be a hit at whatever event you attend. don’t forget pictures 
I love this time of year
bummer. I still haven’t heard of any costum contest around here. Normally we read / hear on the radio of a dozen, seems this year they forgot to pay for advertisement.
I don’t know where to go!!!
Just finished our stuff! Woo Hoo!
Now I can just play tomorrow, visiting the stores that supplied my parts, and showing off my spiffy car magnets.
Only last minute details are if I decide to do a 1 day trap, like many others, but I suspect at parties, that it’s just more to get in the way.
Oh, and I still need to screw those bottom blocks below the generator to the mb.
It feels SO good to have actuall made it by halloween!
Hang in there guys, and be creative!
About parties: check the local papers tomorrow. There’s lots here, especially since it’s friday night.
mega bummer.
I resigned trying to find a place where the winner had something else then a champagne bottle, only to look online and find that.
We’re 11h30, so I’m sure they’re done by the time I get there. 
[edit - yeah, I called, they are already done. They suggested I come as its the party. lol]
Whoa! That’s pretty cool. So who won?
I don’t know, when I called, the guy told me they just finished the “fashion show” and that there were about 300+ people waiting outside for a place in the bar… he also said there was no prizes, which is weird as their add clearly states a 1000$ for the best place.
Being that I have about 40 minutes road to get there (I live in the suburbs) and that most of the show was already done, I decided against.
but I would have loved to know about this event ahead of time, I’d have planned with our local ghostheads to be present. It would have been a blast.
Mega bummer I tell you.
I tried all week to spot a good location to party for the 31st, ended up staying home. There’s some stuff tonight, but no costume contest.
But, I won 2nd place at work, so.
(first place was Jack from the nightmare before christmas, the guy had stilts. Worthed at least, very imaginative and well done. I’m happy for him, and the 2nd place is cool)
Congrats! We’re weiners!
There are a few contests tonight, but we’re doing a party at a friend’s house, and want to kick back and relax instead with our gear.
