Hello All,
Can some one point me in the direction of any one or any where I can get references on what is needed for a screen accurate uniform? At this point im struggling to find exactly what is needed for a screen accurate uniform. Im guessing that it is character specific? At this stage its in regards to the first ghost busters film.
Regards,
Aidan
Are you talking about the actual coverall/flightsuit specs or the equipment worn on the flightsuit ilke the belt/circuit/fobs/etc?
One (1) Black Long-Sleeve T-shirt (Most use short sleeves)
One (1) Pair Khaki Slacks (Most substitute other pants)
One (1) Khaki Ripstop Flightsuit (Coveralls, Flying Man’s) with Brass Zippers and inner wind flap
Two (2) “Bubble-style” Markwort volleyball kneepads, grey (used as shoulder pads)
One (1) 2.2" tall Embroidered Nametag
One (1) Embroidered “No Ghost” logo patch (round portion is 3.5" in diameter)
Two (2) Corcoran (originally Carolina) 995 Side Zipper Black Leather Jump Boots (or similar style)
One (1) Grey 3-Hole Pistol Belt with black hardware (may be described as khaki, but greyish in overall color)
One (1) ~1/2" OD (possibly 5/8" OD) translucent yellow leg hose
One (1) Rubber leg hose connector, attached by stitches through 6 holes, similar in appearance to a valve stem seal
One (1) “Belt Gizmo,” a black leather pouch containing a calculator circuit board, connected by a coiled cord to a smaller circuit board on the back of the belt
One (1) Black or Dark Brown leather trap holster, GB1-style
An assortment of black leather fobs and keychain clips
(Optional) Motorola MT500 radio, short body 4/6/8 channel model with a stubby (presumed to be UHF) antenna, and black leather fixed-belt-loop holster
(Optional) Motorola HT220 radio with a stubby (presumed to be UHF) antenna, and black leather fixed-belt-loop holster
Khaki.
is this “Two (2) “Bubble-style” Markwort volleyball kneepads, grey (used as shoulder pads)” just part of the alice straps or is it additional? I cant seem to find any thing in reference pictures for this?
Also where does the back of the yellow hose connect to? I know it connects to the leg but where does it go to? Is it the bottom of the proton pack?
Lastly, do we need a ghost trap to be screen accurate? Did all characters in Gb1 carry ghost traps?
Regards
Aidan
He means they are used as elbow pads
Also the yellow hose isn’t really attached to anything. Its sometimes tucked into the belt, coiled around the waist straps on the suit or some believe gaffer taped to the belt
Ray carried the trap on his belt.
Peter and Egon are seen holding it in the montage a few times. Peter also wears a trap holster in some scenes but no trap. Winston doesn’t get touch the goods
Yeah, my bad. I always get the words “elbow” and “shoulder” mixed up.
its ok, i often mistype eblow and it comes across as eblow
So with out the trap holster it can still be considered accurate then?
With the no ghosts patches, they are on just the left arm with the name tag on the right. Is that correct?
By left arm you mean the right arm, then yes.
Is there any one who makes the belt gizmo in a kit? That seems to be a real pain in the back side to get my hands on at the momment?
Also with the Alice is there a specific one as I noticed some have thicker straps that go across the abdomen/stomach area and some have thinner. From what ive seen in screen caps for gb1 its a thinner strap, is that correct?
Thanks for the help
Nick-a-tron has a resin kit. You just have to supply the Nixie tubes and any other real electronics you want on the board. They come out nice.
Egon wore a suit under his uniform.
The A.L.I.C.E frames used in GB1 were black LC-1 frames from 1975.
hi all what are people using in GB 1 to hold the trap to the belt? Im struggling to find something to use as a reference
In GB1, they used a custom leather holster with a V-hook to carry the trap.
In GB2, the holster is similar in shape, except it has an aluminum back plate bolted to the leather front. It also has a strap to secure the trap. Oddly enough, they never actually used the strap in GB2 to secure the trap; they just hung misc. equipment from it like the trap pedal or the slime jars.
The Reference section has some good photos of a screen-used GB2 trap holster:

Most people tend to go with the GB2-style trap holster, as it holds the trap better. Of course, if you want the trap hanging low on your belt at an angle (like on Ray’s belt during the hotel scene), then a GB1 trap holster is the way to go.

At some point in the movie, I recall them being attached to key fobs, but I can’t find a picture of it.
