G'day fellow Ghostbusters;
Yesterday (Saturday 6 July 2024) myself, Lesley & Duncan dressed up in our GB kit to have a field test of the equipment and gear that we have been working on so far, to see how they would go "out and about" in public.
Results as follows:
Public Perception - Very positive response from the public with lots of photos and questions, both from kids and kids at heart (adults). Some were confused, more needing to take a second glance/look. Even had some people yelling out with excitement from cars that went by "Ghostbusters!" and "The only decent movies in ages". Alot of the public couldn't wait to see us at more events. Photos attached are the only photos I received from Molong Stores, which is also on their Facebook page.
Equipment - All equipment went very well without breaking down after 6 and a half hours of walking around. The only minor works that were needed were- 1) The yellow pipe had to have velcro attached to the pipe and the overall to be more secure under the belts at the back. This was applied to all suits. 2) The alice frame straps were secured after one came loose. This was achieved by double knotting the top locking strap. 3) General wear and tear fixes (gluing the Spengler wand chair/holster back onto one of the proton packs).
Next equipment that we will be working on is the Ecto Googles, Ghost traps and PKE Metres.
