Ghostbusters Pre-Ectomobile

Recommended Posts

Based on the AMT Ecto-1A kit, converted to its first appearance in the '84 movie. It has a  Monogram grille/bumper, Modelhaus rear bumper, parts box wheels/tires and mirrors, stripped interior, and custom glass. Decals & license plates were drawn up in Illustrator. Since cars like this are often used as dumps by their owners, I loaded the back with miscellaneous debris (including a few Easter eggs from then-current movies). As always, any comments/questions/criticisms are welcome.

Awesome build!  I wore out our VHS copy of Ghostbusters back in the '80s from watching it constantly.  I always thought this original version of Ecto 1 looked cool when it first appears in the movie.  From everything I remember, you nailed it, down to that one green light on the roof!

Think I might pop that DVD in tonight for a little nostalgia!
