I am currently working on making a GB1 style uniform. It is about half way done. I started with a Carter Industries CWU-27/P [flight suit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform) that I won off eBay for 8 bucks. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/c/ac8b7c126dd038d271d8f64507c9388ae750ff72.jpeg) I then got my custom [name tag](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/gb1-name-tag-patch) and no ghost patch from Katarra. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/9/3/93d477ea0e864314cdc445af40ec118a0ef8834b.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/d/8/d836f5cfc6e4c2898ca4ecf59d957bd68cc5d615.jpeg) For the belt, I couldn’t find a replica of the M-1936, so I ended up getting an authentic WW2 belt. It’s in good shape for being 70 years old or so. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/d/f/df6013dbd34c50d29d74fa35a6c7c3c5a4240516.jpeg) I’ll update as it progresses. Any tips or comments, leave a post for me. Thanks. ---

Luckily we had a wrecked bike come into the shop and one of the windshield brackets was pretty close if it was shaved down and drilled out. plus it was threaded so i could just screw the hose on with the matching piece. ![image](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Y_WCz6ObDco/T2DXQ5HURkI/AAAAAAAAABs/3AkdSP9qx5c/s640/IMG_0365570.jpg?gl=US) on the right is the original piece and the left is when i got done cutting, sanding, drilling, and primering. its not perfect, but it’ll do for now. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/c/cc369f0cd1d578dc2a858bdf63f8bb32d792b44c.jpeg) the corresponding screw in plastic for the connector. ![image](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-GJxDbSl8d_0/T2DXRCCQVTI/AAAAAAAAAB4/-9_gN5lZVzA/s640/IMG_0369571.jpg?gl=US) The connector after it was painted and sewn on. I didn’t get any pictures of the before and after of the elbow pads, but the search i did here was spot on with info. And here is the complete package. ![image](https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1IkOPx5BQHY/T2DXRkfBoGI/AAAAAAAAAB0/kRRRA99UzT4/s512/IMG_0373572.jpg?gl=US) I’ll get some pics of how I made the [belt gizmo](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform/calculator-circuit-board) up here soon. it looks vaguely like one, but for using spare parts, it’s not half bad. Plus I taught myself to solder so I could make it.; life skills through Ghostbusters. ---

I like your [leg hose connector](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/uncategorized/leg-hose-connector). Works great. Just to give it some dimension have you thought about, maybe, throwing a door stop around it. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/d/3/d314c191a6aaab4a99e8e8098fe8e0087c4de8a8.jpeg) I’m about where you are in making my costume, so its cool to see other’s progress in their uniforms. Nice job. ---

That’s not a bad idea. I was also toying with the idea of using some of that liquid grip you dip pliers into to coat the handles. i figure using a fine detail brush for several coats would give it more depth and a more accurate appearance. ---

Cool! let us know how that goes. Now that you mention the liquid grip idea, I’m starting to get ideas on making my own MT5oo antenna.
