Thank you for this. I redid the brown wires on mine I knew something was not right. REALLY good catch on the little holes where some of the wires go into the pack. 👍
Wow brother, thank you so much, reading this means so much to me. People have no idea. This video may be an hour long, but I had like 15 hours of footage to edit. And I’m still not completely done. So yeah… A LOT of work. I thank you for watching it, buddy. Stay tuned, wand mod will eventually come whenever I find some time to start working on it lol. Again, thank you so much 🤜🏼 💥 🤛🏼
Thanks, my friend! It truly is nerve wracking, it takes an awful lot of time, but so worth it in the end. I highly encourage you to do it. You got this !
Thanks a lot my friend. It’s amazing how this video still gets so many positive comments even a year later. I’m truly honored. Glad it helped you. I will eventually make the second part whenever i can find the time and motivation. And all the necessary parts lol.
Yeah bro it’s such a thrill. You gotta break something to mod it, most of the time, and once it’s broken, you know there’s no way back and that your idea better works LOL. Thanks for watching, bro 🤜🏼 💥 🤛🏼 Hopefully I’ll get to see some nice pics of your pack.
@@eivoMSeb Haha I've been so worried about breaking anything so I haven't done as much as you. Great work. But once I replace all the Afterlife Clippard wires I'll be "done" for now and happy. I posted a video of the pack a few days after I unboxed it, feeling like I was perfectly happy without doing any mods. But then I couldn't help myself! lol
Thanks for watching, buddy! Yeah I was also hesitant in the beginning, but as times passes you start gaining trust. Gotta start somewhere. Give it a try!
What do you mean “Scaled down”? The ribbon cable I installed is the full size version and it works perfectly fine on my Haslab pack. Are you sure you didn’t mean to say they make a scaled down ribbon for the Spirit pack ?
@@eivoMSeb no, it’s slightly scaled down to fit the HasLab pack ribbon cable clip. He sells Spirit, HasLab, and Full Size cables when they are available. If you look at a full size ribbon cable clamp, it’s bigger than the HasLab clamp.
@@stigmajosh Ok he must have started doing them afterwards. The one I have is indeed a full size ribbon cable, that is much wider than the Haslab clamp. That’s why it was such a nightmare to make it fit in there. I spend several nerve wracking hours trying to find a solution.
@@eivoMSeb yes, the full size ribbon cable can be squeezed down into the clamp to fit as you did it. He started making them a bit smaller to be less of a headache. Great ribbon cables though.
Thanks a lot, really. I’m glad you appreciated, I lost count of the many many hours I spent on this. Regarding the tighter coils on the ribbon cable, I would say it depends. On the pics of the screen used pack shared by Tested, they look very tight indeed. However, if you check some scenes in the movie, especially that close up shot right after Podcast switches it on for Phoebe, it looks very tight coming out of the pack, but then the section between the clamp and the cyclotron looks a lot looser. And I prefer it this way, because as I explained in the video, I love how the Power Cell lights refract through it. Again, thank you very much !
Thanks a lot, bro. I highly appreciated. I promised a part 2 where I’ll mod the wand but i’ve had some problems to deal with since then. It’ll come eventually. I need to gather a few more pieces. Again, thank you, and stay tuned my friend 🙏🏼
Go ahead bro ! It’s a scary process, but at the same time it’s so thrilling. Like, every time you cut or break something, then you know whatever happens, you’ll have to improve it. Can’t go back lol. I swear I was so stressed some times it felt like defusing a bomb. But what a ride in the end, I hadn’t had so much fun with this hobby in years. Thanks for the compliment brother. And get back to me to show me what you’ve done to your pack, please.
@@eivoMSeb Absolutely my man!!!! I just received my package today!! Had to pick one up, new in the box on the second hand market. And I paid for it!! Sucks I missed out on the croud funding, have been living off the grid for almost three year's. But soon as I found out about these beautiful packs I had to have one!!! Will send pix after I mod it. Thanks again!!!
@@eivoMSeb wow bro!!! I'm having the time of my life working on this pack!!! There's now two of us who have the HGA hose moved up a little and my GB1 ribon cable is coming tomorrow!!!! Diffused the cycleatron lights today following your style and what a beautiful finished product!!! Ty bro!!
Thanks a lot man. Haven’t even started working on the wand yet, as I’ve had to deal with some personal issues in the meantime, but it’ll come eventually.
@BluesThing74 I can’t find your comment anymore on here, looks like it disappeared. As said at 2:22 the book is called “Ghostbusters Afterlife : The Art and Making of the movie.” At 9:20 you will find a close up shot of the cover with the name of the author. Thanks for the comment, even though I can’t see it anymore.
Hey!! Looks good, wondering how the ribbon cable has held up…someone on the Haslab group did mention changing the location of the wires and making them offset on the HGA…also no safety glasses when using a Dremel tool??!! Lol…you crazy…love the video watching it while I type this.
Hey Nancy ! Thanks for watching. I do wear safety glasses, sometimes. Depends on what I’m sending / cutting. You can see me wear them at 45:30. Yes i’m crazy, but not 200% crazy lol. About the wires going to the HGA, the person who posted about it was Giasone Torres, a few days ago. I told him about my video and how I would say no one has done it before, because this video was holmes over six weeks, and that part where I modded the HGA was filmed on January 10th lol. Again, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment my friend !
Damn good job! Question if you don’t mind how did you weather the cyclotron lights. I’m seeing some use acrylic and others streaks and tips (colored hairspray) I think yours is spot on 👍
Hey buddy. I just used a tube of black acrylic paint and crudely painted the lenses with a brush, and then used a wet cloth to take some off in case it was a bit too much. Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
Hey buddy. I honestly can’t remember now lol. I can’t help you on that for now. I moved to a different place a few months ago, and tons of my collectibles are at my parents’ house for the moment. Including my proton pack. They live an hour from where I live, so if you can wait until Friday / Saturday, I’ll let you know then. In the meantime, thanks for watching my friend 🤜🏼 💥 🤛🏼
Thanks for watching, man. I still have to weather it some more, add more scratches, more cuffs. It’s a piece I’ll mod more and more over the years, I think. But honestly, I don’t mind how it looks now. It’s no so obvious when you watch the movie that it’s made out of metal. At least not to me.
Will be doing that soon. Hose, and neutrona wand, plus a couple things I want to add on the pack as well. It’ll be more than enough for yet another video. Thanks for watching !
Je viens de recevoir le mien et j'ai utilisé ton astuce pour foncer les lentilles du cyclotron. Et je pense faire une grande partie des modifications que tu as faites. Rajouter un keep alive dans la wand pour le faire tourner indéfiniment et modifier l'alimentation électrique pour le faire fonctionner avec une batterie. Mais sinon où trouves tu t'es hoodie ghostbusters ?
Merci du commentaire mon ami! Pour les modifications électroniques, j’attendrais encore un peu. Tellement de gens ont déjà fait ça, et beaucoup ont grillé leur pack. Parfois même ça marche pendant un temps, et ça finit par lâcher par la suite. Je ne suis pas pressé pour ça. Pour les hoodies, j’ai du les acheter sur Amazon il me semble. Mais c’était il y a des années, déjà!
I have a question that is driving me insane. If you or anyone knows, please, PLEASE tell me. Ok, so; Does it say in the book about the movie, or do you have any idea on what exactly is used for the cyclotron elbow? I've pretty much figured out that the quick release part is a Foster series 2 or series 3, but I can't figure out what elbow and what hex nut they use to give it that look. I think you have to shave the elbow down either way if it were to fit the exact same, but obviously I don't have the book. It would be so awesome if you could help, thank you
Hey man, so sorry for the late reply. To be honest, this book wasn’t a big help after all. There aren’t many close ups of the packs in it. Now i’m not sure what to tell you. But your best help will be the Ghostbusters groups on Facebook. There are groups specifically created to help those who want to mod their Hasbro packs. Also, the best pictures of the screen used hero pack are on the Ghostbusters Reference Library online. This is what helped me the most. Sorry I couldn’t give you a better answer but I hope this website will help you find what you need.
Haha no worries buddy. It really is a cool book. But honestly the best reference photos you’ll find aren’t in that book. You’ll find them online on the Ghostbusters Reference Library.
Hey man, thanks for watching and sorry for the late reply. I bought it in a hardware store over here in France, called Castorama. They have a website. You might find it. Thanks for watching !
Hey There. Great Video! Will defenitly try some of the upgrades. Actually i started it. Now i try to open the Cyclotron cover. HOW did u managed to seperate it?
Oh man I’m so sorry for the late reply, I only saw your comment now. Must have missed the notification back in the day. I thought I showed how to open it in the video, but apparently now 🤔 Maybe I filmed it but left it out of the final cut. But anyway I’m glad you managed it. Thanks for watching and stay tuned cause I’m not done with this sucker 🤜🏼 💥 🤛🏼
Hey man! For the lower end I just used a bit of epoxy. For the upper end : the loom goes over a little plastic tube, I put a think black nail through and through, that acts like a pin holding both pieces together.
@@eivoMSebI mulled over using your method for about half a day but decided to go with something a little less permanent. I used nonslit loom, cut in about an inch with scissors, removed enough of the loom to get a inner diameter of just under 5/8", wrapped the ends tightly with electrical tape and was able to achieve a real tight tension fit on those little nubs. Bummer that the stock hose is smaller in diameter, otherwise this would have been a pretty painless mod. Thank you for the advice, though. Your mods have been an inspiration.
Hey man! I show the cover at 2:23 It’s « Ghostbusters Afterlife : The Art and Making of the Movie ». About 30 bucks I think. You should be able to buy it in any bookstore or Amazon.
