W.I.P. Proton Packs for 1:18 Scale Ecto

Hello ,

Forgive me if this has been mentioned but have you compared the minimated proton packs?

Welcome back CaptCyan! The progress so far continues to look STELLAR!!! Can’t wait for these…

Great update, glad too see the progress!

Haha,you know what’s gonna happen right? Everyone gonna see how yours is more accurate and want one for their Matty buster. I can see the requests now…

Thanks, guys!

Hey Bud!

No, as I don’t have any of the Minimate Figures. If someone does and would put a picture up, that would be good. My thoughts on this are that the figures are toys rather than scale models so the details on their Packs would not be as good as the details on the Ecto.

:lol: That’s something I plan to talk to Mereel about when we both hit a lull in our projects.

YES to that latter part. I know you guys can do better than Matty. CAN. NOT. WAIT.

AMAZING work. :cool:

These look awesome, I am trying to find a decent priced 1:18th Ecto, so far not-so good, but either way if there is a run made of these thing I would be in for maybe 8 of them, 4 for sure.

cant wait to see some updated pics. id be in for purchasing 4 when your ready to sell

Freaking sweet I’d be in for 4 when u start selling them!

Hey Capt, I know your a busy guy with other stuff but I was curious, is this project was still a go?

I’m still anxiously awaiting news on these as well. Will go great with the 1/18 Elite Ecto and the Ecto 1A coming in December.

Fett, Matt and everyone else.

Sorry about the lack of updates. :cry: Yes, these are still a go. I’ve put them on the back burner due to the Rookie Kits which I’m still finishing up. Once they are all made and shipped out I will have time to continue with the 1:18th Packs.

While having to wait is a bummer, some good has come of it. I was going to use Braided Bead Thread to connect the Throwers to the Packs, but thanks to the Rookie Kit , I’ve figured out how to make killer scale Hoses for the Packs.

Below are the Conduits for the Rookie Kits. I’ll use the same technique to make all the Hoses.

Cool! Like I said before I know you’re a busy guy with other things so waiting is no biggie, I was only curious is all. Keep up the great work (this and your other projects), and I’m looking forward to future updates whenever they may come.

Have you thought about getting these 3d printed?

I guess you could if you wanted to, but where’s the fun in that?

Thanks for posting the update CaptCyan! Still really looking forward to these, but no rush! Just glad to see they’re still in the works!

PS, the hoses look like they’ll be the perfect material!

Any updates?

Just ordered my Ecto-1 and Ecto-1A Hot Wheels Elite models and found your little project here and must say I am very impressed. Knowing you are a busy man, hopefully the project is still a go, you can def put me down for eight of them! Good work my man!

Hey guys!

They are a go, along with other things. Still doing some clean up stuff from Sandy and waiting for my replacement computer to show up. Not sure yet if I lost any of my Decal and Build files. :-?
