Candidly captured Comic Con cosplayers in Glasgow, Scotland. An old unpublished shot from June 2019 and I felt that today needed an injection of a little humour. Enjoy!
Wishing you all a fantastic, and safe, weekend of photography!

Posed impromptu street portrait of these two guys from the Glasgow Ghostbusters at the Glasgow Comic Con 2019, Scotland.
Their costumes were great and I loved the custom Glasgow ghost patch, with the cone on the head and subway colours which are Glasgow icons, and the 3d printed proton packs. They do lots of charity work for hospitals and vulnerable people too. Keep up the great work guys.
Given some slight original movie style colour grading, grain and curves processing in Photoshop for a different look than my usual colour shots - the guys loved it and posted it to their Facebook group. Enjoy!
It occurred to me (after I gave it away) that I never actually took a decent picture of my proton pack. So here it is. You can find instruction for this in BrickJournal issue 29.

I've been working on the concept for this one since the start of december.
My Wife and Son gave me the Ghostbusters Lego set for my birthday, I put it together and instantly came up with the idea for a light painting with a working theme of Don't cross the streams. (Making the streams Green instead of Orange and Blue) I wanted to create something using actual Ghostbusters ghosts but in a scene. I used an old cinema lego set and installed my Ghostbusters set to it acordingly, all that was missing was the ghosts, I chose a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from 1984 which was more then big enough to gain the effect I was looking for and a Funko Pop Slimer, I just liked the style. I put them in place and it all worked really well.
Then just came the fumbling around in the dark trying to put El Wire to the Ghostbusters proton packs. It was a long process and I did knock a few of the Lego men over and even my backdrop fell on to the scene. After a few tests shots it all looked great but there was a lot of empty negative space at the sides of the cinema, I often improvise on these bits and are not in the original plan, I got some ghosts from google on my phone and waved them in to the shot, theres a couple in there and another little easter egg if anyone can spot it? The final touch was the portal opening up above the cinema.
I'm quite happy with the end result and would like to do more in this area using Ghostbusters Lego and possible merge it with my other Lego light painting series.

Update #1! Being sick today I had a lot of time to work on these :P I originally didn't plan to do the arms it just sorta happened.... Fully painted by me using Citadel Paints, the parts are from BrickForge and were originally fully black
If you favorite this,please post your opinion in the comments!
With a few extra pieces, I added "purist" proton beams to the guys' neutrona wands. They're a little clunkier than I'd like... but on the plus side, they do help counterbalance the heavy proton packs.
Nearly finished as of April.
To go into overly nerdy detail, this is a replica of one of the few "hero" GB1 packs that survived being used in both the first and second films. The original packs had extensive detailing, as well as electrical and mechanical features. These heavy, bulky props were disliked by the actors (Murray especially), and so were largely replaced by much less functional, sloppy fibreglass casts for the second film. Although it's difficult to spot on screen, the GB2-made packs have a much duller, less detailed appearance and are somewhat "wonky". The occasional GB1 surviving packs appear in closeup sequences. The GB1 packs originally sported a thick, unique ribbon cable whose source is unknown. By the time of the second film (as still today), this cable proved impossible to find, so was substituted by a cheaper alternative. The above prop reflects those changes, as well as approximates 5 years worth of wear - both fictional and accidental.

The Proton Pack is a man-portable particle accelerator system that is used to create a charged particle beam - composed of protons - that is fired by the proton gun.
I originally posted this on my photography flick page but thought they would be more relevant on here.
I am working on other custom munny figures at the moment and will post them up when they are done.
Let me know what you think

Laura and Tyler helped put the minifigures together.
The real thing at the end of Ghostbusters 1 (broken and covered in shaving foam). The oversaturation of the photo makes this look slightly toy-like, but it also shows that there was a great deal of detail put into these props. The basic shape was sculpted from foam and then a rubber mould was made of it, from which fibreglass shells were pulled. The gun had an extending barrel mechanism and the electronics were quite advanced for the time. They were then finished with various surplus 1960's resistors, pneumatic fittings, hoses and ribbon cables, as well as surplus warning labels and custom made metal fittings. The overall wieght of these props is rumoured to be around 35lbs +. These "hero" props were substituted in stunt scenes by flimsy foam rubber pulls from the same mould.
did a shoot with my nephews for their birthday gifts.
had this general idea in my head for a long while, and was beyond excited to have finally nailed it down.
the throw away shots of him from this set up are just as awesome as the one i ended up using. his facial expressions, and the body positions he pulled in fighting an imaginary ghost were pretty impressive and spot on for someone that's never done such a thing. i suppose the hours he's invested in viewing the movies paid off in the details.
