Started a forum topic: EC70 TWO.......
Late last year, my trusty Honda Civic that I’d owned from new since 2007 was reaching end-of-life… or at least starting to cost me more to keep running than it was worth. I figured that, as I’d been using this car as a pseudo-van for quite some time with back seats folded flat, that maybe my next ca…

Everyone’s favourite law, the Online Safety Act has resulted in the image hosting site, Imgur blocking access to the Uk. Gbfans utilises this service to upload images for use here in the forum which mean none of them are visible for us anymore.
Read moreStarted a forum topic: Drone Goggles + Controller
I’ve decided to split off all talk about my FE Goggles and Drone trap controller from my other thread because it was really specifically for the battery compartment mod. <a href="https://www.gbfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=52406" class="inline-onebox-loading" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">https://www.gbfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=52406</a> So to cut a long story short after my made my GB1 inspired Ecto Goggles by usi…
Read moreStarted a forum topic: The Goon's Ecto Goggles + new hidden battery compartment upgrade
[image] I’ve been building a set of The Goon’s Ecto Goggles and I wanted to add a little flashing red light to the corner where he’s modelled a hole. However I wasn’t so keen on stuffing a load of batteries inside the face shell of the goggles themselves. So I’ve designed and modelled an upgrade to…

I am British but last week I was fortunate enough to be in New York, and while the purpose of the trip was not to be a fanboy all over the place I did manage to get to some of the key “haunts”. [image] [image] [image] [image]
Read moreStarted a forum topic: 40th anniversary of UK screening meetup
Looks like there’s rumblings about a 40th anniversary of the UK release of Ghostbusters (1984) down Southampton way on December 7th. Don’t know much more about it yet though but I wanted to make people aware. I should be free for it as I am not flying to New York until the week after. [image] Face…

Updated 15/Aug/25: [image] I have upgraded my Narda with a genuine Isotropic Probe (although not the exact one used in FE which has a white head). However, this thread mostly discusses my DIY replica probe you can make yourself. [image] Narda Isotropic Probe model 8621 next to my 3D printed and …
Read moreStarted a forum topic: Britain's best Remote Trap Vehicle replica build
Hyperbole topic title because I can’t find anyone else in the UK that has made a proper replica RTV. If I’m wrong let me know! Current photo: [image] Build status: Trap parts printed - All trap parts are now 3D printed. Some elements are painted but mostly raw filament colour to avoid hours of …
Read moreStarted a forum topic: Possessed Sony Discman
[image] I had a bit of free time this weekend so rather than sensibly working on my unfinished projects like the Minirad and Proton Pack upgrades I thought I’d have a crack at the possessed Sony Discman from Frozen Empire. Now I want to be clear that I neither have the tools nor the talent for a s…
Read moreStarted a forum topic: Advice and guidance on new franchise website (not facebook)
Our franchise group was unfortunate to be wrapped up in the recent Facebook algorithmic purge of franchise groups that hit a bunch of other groups and communities, including Ghostbusters News. While GBNews was able to get their page back fairly quickly, due to their close connections to Ghost Corps/…
