Well i got this idea about two months ago that when i got the ghostbuster minimates that i would need some way to display them. So after going through a couple of ideas i settled on making the GBHQ. Well here are the pictures.

That is great! How did you get the minimates so fast? I thought they weren’t coming out for a while? Is that an Ertl model? What scale is the Firehouse! Ooh, you shoudl do a [containment unit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/containment-unit) set like RGB for them : )

No pics yet,I’ve got my best friend working on the interior layouts in Photoshop,the walls,floors,and ceilings will all be stickers,then I will be scratch building everything that goes inside.

I probably won’t finally get started building until after Dragon\*Con.
