That was created by a professional builder and it is doubtful your results will come close to that. Downside is that the going prices for these mean that you are gambling a bit if you are a novice builder, your results are NOT apt to resemble the image on the box. If you take your time and move things slowly you should be left with a pretty nice looking car to display. Either level, you will want to do a lot of surfing the web for images to guide your build to increase accuracy of the details, colors, etc. If you are not very experienced then understand the instructions for this kit are not the best. If you are an experienced model builder you will navigate most of the difficulties with relative, though time consuming, ease. Many of the parts do not fit together (pegs too big for holes etc) As a model goes it is ok, not good, not great. A few of the details are not correct for one who wants EXACT movie specs for the Ecto 1a from GB II. I enjoy building models and as glue-together models go this one disappoints on a number of levels. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned Perhaps a potential buyer will see an ambulance possibility with the interior chopped down, and a Limosine possibility for the Chassis. I will sell the kit interior/chassis, as it is too long and specialized to even use in a Suburban build. The V12’s will each have 7” Pro Chargers and straight pipes. The printed stickers would then be carefully cut out and applied to the Kenner Ecto-1 toy. I’m creating a Hearse and calling it “Undertaker”. Print out these large scans of the stickers/decals onto these label sheets and youll have your own stickers. I just spray adhesive on th e narrow tires, then roll them in Baby Powder. Now I could put my baby moons to good use. Now, what do you do with a 2 V12 ‘59 Caddy ambulance ? Make it a Salt Flat Racer. What better cradle and body ? I had to modify the Alison wheelbase, as the kit body was a ‘65 Thunderbird. I already had a frame from an Alison V12 that I was saving for a Hydrogen Peroxide Rocket car. Even on a Lightning they would look ridiculous because the closest that airplanes get to 1:25th scale is 1/32nd, a few scales smaller, or G scale. I don’t build airplanes, and the engines would have been huge, awkward, and overscale. For higher resolution images see my flickr page.What to do with a ‘59 Caddy ambulance ? Build by the kit ? I’m not that vanilla. The proposed set has a piece count of 299 pieces (without Ecto-1a conversion) to 361 pieces (with Ecto-1a conversion), which would make it approximately $35 to $45, or €25 to €30. With a smaller Ghostbusters car, the fire station can also be smaller, and as a result more affordable. The Ghostbusters fire station is not part of this proposal, but could be sold as a separate set. The rear door can open, and from the back of the car a stretcher holding the Ghostbusters' equipment can slide out.Įcto-1 can be converted into Ecto-1a from the movie Ghostbusters II by replacing the rooftop elements, changing the color of the searchlight, replacing the license plates, and replacing the rear bumper with a red horizontal plate. If you would like a Lego city scale Ghostbusters set, please support this project.Įcto-1, the overhauled hearse Cadillac from the movie Ghostbusters. To remedy these problems I have created my own Ghostbusters Lego set. 3) A bigger model means more bricks, and more bricks means a more expensive Lego set. I don't want a Ghostbusters Lego set which is only meant to sit on a shelf, I want a Ghostbusters Lego set which is meant to be played with together with existing Lego city sets (and can also be displayed on a shelf). 2) The car will look out of place next to other Lego city sets. They should not look small next to their car. The Ghostbuster minifigs will have to be an important part of any Ghostbuster Lego set. ![]() This leads to a few problems: 1) The minifigs look small compared to the car. ![]() While the overall design of this project is very good, I feel the size of the Ghostbusters car which is a part of this set is too big. I am aware that there currently is a Ghostbusters CUUSOO project in the product stage. ![]()
