G'day everyone;
just a major update as alot has happened since I was last on.
Events we attended:
1) Myself and the team were invited to a childs Birthday party whom is a major Ghostbusters fan by their parent; in Molong on 16 August 2024. All the kids attending loved "The real Ghostbusters showing up to the party" and the parent has stated "he still talks about it to this day". We were very happy to attend and allowed the kids to hold/operate (under supervision) the proton packs. We would recommend listening to the parents needs/rules & allow the children to come to you if attending such events. Have a Working With Children Check Number (WWC) would also be highly recommended both for any event or orgainised visits. (NO Photos Uploaded-as part of the child protection act & to keep their privacy).
2) I attended Molong Village Markets on 7 October 2024. There were alot of questions and photos by both store holders & members of the general public. When asked about "where to find out more?" I direct them to GBFans.com. I even talked to one store holder about Sydney Supernova where they "met some of the GBFans that attended" (could that have been you?). No photos for this one as I didn't have time to take photos while there, too many people.
3)Next event will be Halloween in Molong NSW.
Work recently completed (with photos):
We received all three PKE Meters from EctoPropsMX(Mexico). Very well made and I would highly recommend EctoProps for someone like myself, whom is not proficient enough with electronics to make them. They have completed the main equipment for everyone. (Photo attached).
2)Still awaiting on the post for one (1) 3D printed trap to build from the UK seller on Etsy (Benofkentprops).

Also worked on "No Ghost" logo for the car, just in case for Halloween. I traced around an image of the logo from Ecto-1 onto stiff white cardboard. I then used Tamia Balck X-1 & Red X-7 paints and brushed colored the logo by hand. I still need to laminated the card to seal it from the weather and cut the logo out. See photos.

With the car in particular, it's our own car with our own "head cannon" to being another Ecto in Australia. The head cannon is as follows:
"We believe that an Australian Ecto would be a Holden vehicle being Australian made and owned (at the time). To honor the original Ecto-1 being sentient; the Holden Commodore is semi-sentient after being possessed by an ex-Holden racing driver, when the vehicle is operating a glow red in color and can be scene hovering/like mist over the Holden logo (radiator end). Unlike the Ecto-1, to accommodate for Australian conditions, a capture stream would be operated by one passenger through the radio antenna, while a second passenger/driver flicks a switch on the dash that flips the boot open where the ghost trap would be. As the capture stream brings the ghost/spirit over the boot, the ghost trap captures them and the boot snaps shut sealing the trap (where the second boot Holden logo would flash). When returned to HQ, the trap is emptied by attaching a cable into a second port next to the fuel cap, that transfers the ghost/spirit from the trap in the boot to the laser grid for storage and containment."
What do you think? A bit zany but that's what we like to think.
