Again, what are you using for the main tank?
That’s it Dr. Stants. She is part of the project and I can’t reveal it without her approval.
Sorry!
See’ya guys!
Ok, ghostheads!
Here is this week’s update!
The main tank was fixed on the base box. The side tanks were fixed as well.
The boxes are close to become ready and the left lower ball is done!
Project is going in a great speed and our schedule is up to date!
Here are some photos.
Comments??? [
] Please, write them!
We know the side tanks looks a little smaller than it should be, but as we told, this is our very 1st prototype. Future blowers will come with bigger tanks, more movie accurate.
By the way, sorry for photos’ quality, but I’m using my cell phone to take the pictures. They are only to illustrate, ok?
When ready, I promess to add many HIGH resolution photos.
See’ya!
it looks amazing so far :shock: …keep up the great work
From my calculations and from my past notes on the slime blower, the main tank is to be 9-10 inches in diameter and about 30 inches in length> Judging from the photos, great start, but I dont think you want to go bigger on the main tank, but rather smaller. Take into consideration Dan’s and Ernies height (5’11" - 6’2"), the main tanks (when worn) tend to start at kidney level and go about 4-7 inches above the head. The side tanks, the long skinny one is 3" in diameter and the short fat one is 4 inches in diameter. Hope that helps.
Ok, Ghostheads!
Here are some news about our Slime Blower project.
The slime gun is under production.
The back part is ready and we got yesterday our Alice Frame. Here are some photos from the frame we ordered at E-Bay to assemble the blower in.
Tomorrow I’ll make new photos from the pack and gun, to give you some more news. And I’ll try to remember to use my digital camera, not my mobile phone, to take the photos. This will allow me to get better pictures!
I plan to have it complete on Monday (April 10th). Probably photos will be online this day or in the next one.
Comments, as usual, always welcome!
Thanks!
Ghostheads!
Some more news. We are almost there! 8)
Here are some new photos from the project and how it is looking today!
In the next days we will paint the pack, add the labels on it and complete the gun.
As scheduled, we should have it complete this week!!!
And weight? The whole pack (tubes + frame) is about 9Kg (19.85lb.).
Comments? Of course they are more than welcome.
And as promised, as soon as we complete it, we will report all the materials we used on this project.
Thanks and stay tunned!
:shock: that is absolutely amazing…i love it…i can not wait to see it finished..once again wow :!:
Amazing..Absolutely amazing…
Looks great guys! !Muy bien, mis amigos!
Here goes another news. WEIGHT! Believe me, it is LIGHTER than a proton pack.
My pack (that I ordered from JMoore and is vacuum formed), for example, weights 13Kg (about 28.67lbs.). Our Slime Blower weights only 9Kg (19.85lbs.).
And the shoulder pads from Alice frame helps a lot to distribute the weight. In few words, weight is absolutely nothing in this case. 
But, your all are loving it and it is not complete yet! We have the labels and the headlights missing!
Labels should be added tomorrow and headlights should come until next weekend. Anyway, I plan to install them as soon as possible.
By the way, I’ll be pleased to offer these blowers to any Ghostbusters who becomes interested. Just contact me.
Keep in mind it is a HUGE equipment. Light weight, but huge. So, shipping costs can be a little high since it will request a BIG box. So, be prepared to pay the shipping costs!
Unfortunately, I’ll only offer it complete and ready to wear (no kits and no lights). We are still developing the electronics and we have no idea when it will comes complete.
And we decided to sell it complete because we don’t want to have problems with customers that could not glue the pieces together and start to complain…
The two headlights need to be ordered on Canada and I don’t have “Alice” frames here, in Brazil, so I need to order it on E-Bay. So, we are estimating that each blower will request about 45 days (a month and 15 days) to become complete and ships. This is the MINIMAL time to assemble it correctly, await the frame to arrive and install it. Then it will be ready to ship it.
Let me know in PVT (at [email protected]) if someone becomes interested.
Thanks again!
One last information today!
Here is the image of the labels I’ll be adding to the blower.
I know some looks like proton packs’, but they are different (be sure!!!).
Comments are always welcome, as usual…
Thanks!
Awesome!
Well ghostheads!
I’ll check if I could lower the price, because the idea to make this project is to help others to collect this prop. So, if price is too high, none will reach it…
In fact, this is a good moment to reveal what I promised! Details about the material we used.
I used a lot of fyberglass in it, since all pieces are plastic, fyberglass or wood. In fact, the 3 boxes are wood, the 3 cylinders and the ball are fyberglass and the gun is plastic (a regular plastic pipe with a fyberglass tip).
The tanks we used are fuel tanks. Here, in Brazil, we have a special car’s fuel that is made from a flamable gas, founded on oil’s refine process. I don’t know if this fuel is available in other countries worldwide.
With this fuel, the car can run with this gas or with regular gasoline, with just a key’s change, present inside driver’s pannel.
Here is an image from one of these tanks (there are many sizes’ options), of this system installed. In this case, we see two tanks installed.
So, I found a guy who already offers these cylinders in fyberglass, to be shown in stores as displays. Got them and started to work in blower’s project. We have modified them a little, to looks more accurate, by the way.
The biggest difficulty we found in the process was to fix everything, since we are talking about a rounded surface and the contact point is very thin (less then 1mm wide). So, we had to find a way to fix it with no risk to have broken parts after a small colision or while you are holding the pack to put it on.
This is what we made. Hope you all understand, since we have the normal languages’ problems… 
Thanks and feedbacks welcomed!
Ok, Ghostheads…
I guess this will be the best update I ever reported. After many, many really many discussions with the people who sells me material to make this blowers, and requested them to send me the best prices of our raw materials.
So, I got the offers and now, I’m** VERY PROUD** to announce our NEW final blower’s price. Just e-mail me for details.
Hope this could make this prop more reachable to anyone who are interested.
If you want to chat with me about this ordering process, contact me in PVT at [email protected] and we will discuss about any details.
Thanks and feedbacks welcomed.
Ok, ghostheads!
Here is the final update of this project.
We completed it with the adhesives and will add the lights soon.
Here you can see some photos of the blower with adhesives.

Anyway, it is already available if you want one. Just e-mail me at [email protected]
Thanks for looking and comments are always and still welcomed.
See’ya!
thats freakin’ awsome!
Hey man, if the ends of the main tank were already capped off…how did you put the alice pack on?
How did you go about mounting your alice pack on to the slime blower?
Dr. Ray Stantz,
Simple! We made a reinforced area in the tank to fix the frame and, during the production’s step, the main tank had no top!
We just fixed the frame with with the opened tank and, after it, closed the tank and made the final sanding to paint it.
Let em know if this is what you want to know.
Thanks
