Kenner Ecto-1 Control Drawing Rear View

Continuing my project making high resolution versions of the Kenner Ecto-1 prototype control drawings (found at The Art of The Real Ghostbusters website and Instagram account) for eventual use in a 3D model. For the rear view I took a different approach. I’ve recreated the original drawing as closely as possible, only straightening lines and making things symmetrical. I added the vents to the lightbar to match the front view, as there was a note on the original control drawing to do this. Next I’ll start making this match the other views, but I thought it’d be good to show only the original information provided first.

Had to make some serious changes to match the rear view to the other views. I had to completely get rid of the bumper as it wasn’t present in the sideview or Ecto-1 reference photos. Without the bumper, I had to make a best guess as to what the undercarriage would look like, so I used the Kenner Ecto-1 as a reference in conjunction with the sideview.
