I know it’s not an Ecto-1A but I thought I’d post it here being it’s a Model. Two things factor high in this build.
My skill level
My hands’ stubborn refusal not to shake. "Oh you’re doing detail work? Well F%^K YOU!Shakes like crazy
This car is made from parts left over from my Video game inspired Ecto-1. I had an AMT kit and a polar lights kit and I made one car using both. But then I was stuck with stuff left over. You might’ve noticed my parts wanted thread, well while I’m looking for parts I had to reluctantly Kit Bash to complete the car part of the Ecto-1. I tried to do the interior in a way that matched the colors and such of the Cartoon Ecto-1. let me know If I came close or not. Also I’m aware the interior needs touch up work.
That’s where some of the Kit Bashing took place. The polar lights Ecto-1 didn’t have all the interior parts (why would it with that dark glass that can’t be seen through). Plus it matches as close as I can the interior seats of the cartoon Ecto-1. Also had to do some kit bashing for the tires (Kid had painted the rubber silver making them useless).
Yeah, that was just stupid. I performed a slight change on mine–I knocked out the inexplicable “front” of the dark plastic, so that you could at least glimpse the interior through the front windows.
I now have the parts for the top rack but I’ve been thinking. Ecto 1 in the cartoon didn’t sport a rack. If I want this to resemble the cartoon maybe I should do it that way. What do you guys think?
If you want to do the cartoon version, why not get a Kenner and just repair (if needed) & paint? But then again, I also like the idea of what you’re doing. If you have kits to Frankenstein, you’re going in the right direction (with full customization). Can’t wait to see it progress.
The thing is, the rack parts I got are from an Ecto-1A. The same as the First car I put together and I want to make it different. Besides I’ve got plans for the Ecto-1A parts.
Yeah I’ve got a few kits kicking around that could probably complete this model. The Top equipment shouldn’t be too difficult to make either.
