I kept buying custom parts to augment my Lego Ghostbusters Ecto-1 set.
I got the arms-with-GB-logos. I got the ghost trap. The packs and meter and goggles.
I got the Destructor, Zooly, and Vince.
But still it wasn’t enough.
I started prowling around-- first on eBay and then on BrickLink-- for existing Lego parts that could be combined into recognizable characters or moments from the films.
The parts I’ve ordered are trickling in. I don’t quite have everything finished yet, but here’s a little glimpse of what to expect.
A Ghostbusters.nuts issue I’d wanted to do but never got around to would’ve included a bunch of vignette scenes from a fake “Lego Ghostbusters” game (which would’ve covered both movies and the video game). Seeing these, you’re kinda tempting me to resurrect that idea.
I started not to share that one. I felt it was derivative of my earlier #MidWeekMattyMatters photo from the Cross the Streams Podcast page on Facebook.
The hair-with-bun piece is not available molded in white, so I bought this black one for cheap from a seller I was already ordering with. My plan was to spray-paint it either silver or white (digital mockup on right) but now I’m kind of fond of the way it looks in black (unretouched, left).
I know, it’s a violin case, not a cello case, but I figured it was too nifty not to use.
Trying to make Terror Dogs a brick at a time. Still needs some work.
I may paint the baby torso in a more Oscar paint scheme.
Still awaiting some parts for these guys, but even with some temporary substitutes, looks pretty promising.
