My Model Ectos. Ecto-1A March 2012 Updates!

slaysghosts · October 28, 2010, 11:53pm

These are models that I built at various times over the past few years. They aren’t perfect by any means and they’re the only models that I’ve ever built.

The first car was the result of me tearing up a Polar Lights model really bad, not much time was taken to make/paint it.

On the Ecto-1, the only thing I may do to it is replace the antenna with a real wire like 1A has. I’m also cleaning up the door lines.

With Ecto-1A, I tried using water slide decals for the first time and it shows, probably gonna redo some of decals on the roof rack.

The Video Game car pics were actually taken a few months before the game came out. As it sits right now all the Call Us/caution stripes/ we believe you decals have been stripped and I’m going to apply some that are clearer and not so pixelated. The Muon trap decals say “Warning Muon Radiation Stay Back 25 Feet”. Since the pics were taken I also painted the front grill like the others and did the door jams/lines.

Anyway here they are, enjoy!

Awesome work, however the Ghost decals on your 1B are missing chins.

Thanks, all the 1B decals are being redone. The 1B pics are over a year old, everything else was Oct 2010.

GB2 logo aside, I’ve always liked Ecto 1A the best.

All the unnecessary amount of crap piled atop it compared to the original car is great for comedic effect.

I really like that 1B, you’ve done a great job!

Thanks, it was fun to make!

Great models! Never seen a 1B before.

My lord , man!! Looks like someone needs to start working for Mattel. I’d buy one of each!

Very nice!

I’m between re-working my Ecto & starting a “pre”-Ecto. I also have the Ecto-1A still in the box.

And some group shots just for fun:

So, I pretty much replaced all the decals on the 1B (remember guys I built that thing BEFORE the game came out!)

and did the front grille. Might do some black slime residue on it in some of the rough paint spots…we’ll see…

Great models. Good work!

These models are incredible but what I’d really like to know is what website you used to upload all these fantastic images!

slaysghosts · May 21, 2011, 5:53pm

Thanks guys, and I use ImageShack.us for all my image posting!

You have a lot of patience!!!

I did the Polar Lights model the last year and I think will not make the ecto 1 anymore.

thanks for upload your photos!!

I am brushing up for the AMT re-release this summer, so I bring you my Ecto-1A from the first post w/ some updates. I re-painted the lightbars w/ clear paints, tried my hand at bare metal foil for the hood trim & windshield trim, & I added some warning decals on the roof.

Enjoy:

Looks great!

I’m waiting on a new airbrush compressor to redo my Ecto-1 & finally start the 1-A that’s still in the box. But before that I’m planning on doing a pre-ecto diorama, after I get through some half done projects I’m working on.

ilikerossi · March 31, 2012, 10:35am

Was it just like cut out tin foil that you used for the trim?

CaptCyan · March 31, 2012, 1:23pm

Hey Slay,

Nice foil job you did! :nicejobyoudid: It really kicks up the level of detail on your model.

Trimaxuim · April 2, 2012, 8:38am

Great work! I love looking at models like this, I get a sense that you enjoyed building them.
