With a number of Ghostheads visiting this video, I wanted to share that Dan Lanigan did show his movie used proton pack, PKE meter and trap with me. You can see it here th-cam.com/video/Tqvb-uGCcwQ/w-d-xo.html
Love it! As a lifelong Ghosthead, I must admit that you did a fantastic job upgrading this version of the WRECTO-1. And I also loved the Sigourney Weaver / Halloween trick-or-treat story!

I'm doing the ecto1 build with my daughter and payed for the first time 1.95 for two packs then each month I will be receiving 4 new packs at 17.00 a month from what I roughed out I'm spending less then 400.00 on this build project. Is the 1,500.00 for it just to buy out right without waiting monthly and that's why it's priced so high. It's still a good purchase and we are really excited to have it put all together. Great video love the Ghostbusters, never watched the 2016 fake version though lol.
No, my understanding is that the $17 dollars is per stage. I think it's closer to about $44 a month or so.. Check with eagle moss on that. Across the 2 year period, it adds up. But believe me, That is still a good value for that model.
This jewelry work is just amazing. Just watched your video as a TH-cam recommendation. I'm currently trying to build up a Eaglemoss version of Ecto-1, which will take a lot of time. If you ever decide to upgrade the GB Firehouse Diorama from Diamond Select, it would be great to see your version of how it can be improved to the level of movie accuracy.
@@YourGeekFix Sorry for the delayed response TH-cam was erasing my comments.I have ogauge Trains.The scale would be 124 scale bus.I don't pay attention to scale that much.Thanks for stopping buy.
@@YourGeekFix I like the Mad Max movies and probably had watched one prior to creating this account, I'm also a truck driver and 8v72 refers to a GM 2 stroke Diesel V8 engine that had an unusual sound that I'm a fan of, look up "screaming detroit" on here.

"I could leave it on all day, though it would eventually burn out those lights." I'm glad to say, you're in luck here because LEDs have an insanely long life. Even cheap ones will last fifteen solid years of being on, and yours look like higher quality at a glance, so you'd need to leave them on for twenty years straight at least before they begin to go dim. And since LEDs do not have any issues with being cycled affecting their lifespans, the ones on top would last twice as long. Fun fact, often LEDs will be oscillated at an extremely high rate, faster than can be perceived by eye, to increase their lifespans for long-life applications.
Cool video. Helpful tips. I’m building my own ECTO-1A from GB2 to fit the new 6” Plasma Series GB figures. BIG JOB! That’s a GREAT story! I was 8yr. old @ that time and w/ my dad IN NYC enjoying the Halloween parade. I don’t have a cool story like yours, but I did make it in the paper by the next day. I still have the ORIGINAL piece w/ my photo in it. Hopefully, one day, when I’m suited up one Halloween or Comic Con, I’ll get to meet the OGB cast!
SO glad you made this video! I bought mine for this exact purpose. I was sad to see the headlights were not molded in clear. Can you give a bit more detail on how you managed to get the top lights off to install the leds? And where did you hide the batteries? I was planning or hoping to fit them under the hood..
I drilled the hole into the very center of each of the lights. Then, using a razor blade, you'll find that the plastic is very easy to carve. Just carve it down until it looks exactly like you want it to. As far I too. As far as the batteries go, I put them under the hood and connected them to AY split Micro USB and ran that to the back. Good luck!
You are awesome and thanknyou for the quick response im in the middle of the same build i painted the ecro 1 to a high gloss i didnt like the old and rusty look Thanknyou and i will keep bothering you for more awesome work
Awesome! My conflict when I first got it was weather to turn it into the original or the present movie version. I would love to see how yours turns out!
Tried that and it didn't work. Any longer and it would have melted that plastic as well. Probably depends on how much glue the applied. Mine had a lot. Did yours come off with heat?
I bought an Ecto to mod. I haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm planning on making it look somewhere between the first two movies when I eventually do get around to it.
Then both you and your brother are AWESOME David Z! Good luck with the modification. When it is done, share a picture of it with us and I will put it in the community section.😀
Super great video! Loved the Sigourney Weaver story too. What were the chances of that happening???!!! I'm retired and been looking at getting back getting into modeling but doing a lot more scratch building type of stuff. I've always liked the Echo 1 car and your video looks like a lot of good mods to do. Thanks for the ideas!
I'm just building the1/8th scale version and keeping it nice. There are mods like carpets, gurney rails, Delco Battery, plates, centre caps, vents much closer to the films.
I found afterwards I could just blow on the windows a little bit and brush them with a paint is a paintbrush and it flattened it out nicely.. Thanks for watching.
I randomly happened upon this video and your channel. I went ahead and subscribed 30 seconds into watching. The only problem is that after seeing your upgrades I now hate my ecto.

@@chrisminton516 True. I w would emphasize what I have told others. The best gift I could give you is to encourage you to do it your self. The value it will gain will be better than anything you could buy for the shelf. Take a chance Chris! You can do it!
About one year ago Dan Lanigan showed me around his collection of movie props. Dan is the host of the Disney show "Prop Culture." We talked about movies and he showed me screen used props from Indiana Jones, to Hellboy, Star Trek, and his own movie, "Fanorama." While we were talking he mentioned not running around in his proton pack, to which I asked, "You have a proton pack." He then showed me Egon's proton pack from Ghostbusters I and II. He believed it was also worn by the other Ghostbusters as well. Next to it hung the trap from the first movie that Dan Acaroid said, "The light is green, the trap is clean." The PKE meter was one of only two from the first Ghostbusters. The other was stolen and there is a police report for it. That makes Dan's meter the only one known to still exist from the first movie. You can check out the devices and hear more about them here if you want th-cam.com/video/Tqvb-uGCcwQ/w-d-xo.html
Now, my version has two batteries which I installed under the speaker, under the hood. I did tilt them slightly to make it fit, but they do fit between the weel wells.
I just have to share this molotow liquid chrome is the way to go for any chrome effects i just ordered a .1mm and started the chrome around the windows and wow the effects are dead on
I totally forgot to say im turning the plasma series into the original version To any one who dodnt know And watching your video has helped me more than i can explain You rock
Hi ive been going nuts on the missle tial lights how did you drill and plce the light i bought the light and siren sound but i cant remove without the fins im going flipping nuts
Like I showed in the video, I could not fit the red lights in the bullets or tails. I removed the bullets, which pull out in twos and using plyers came out easy for me. I then drilled with a very small micro bit into the fins. Now, there are red clips inside teh car below the window for releasing the find that I found were glued, but I drilled into there to send fiberoptics from a red light in that area, behind the computers, to the hole where the bullet lights go. I drilled a little into the bullet lights both so the fiver optic could go a little inside and to defuse the lights. Fiber optics are how I did a lot of the project. th-cam.com/video/9LpyWuRVYiM/w-d-xo.html
I think it would actually be easier to do that. Everything comes apart really easily and you can paint paint the areas very easily. I highly recommend jumping into it. I think the best part about doing this is doing it yourself.. It will give you something even better to talk about or look at. Read good luck
@@YourGeekFix The only real issue making it look like the original is that there have been some substantial changes to make way for the gunner seat. The ladder was moved to the opposite side, and the door opens the wrong way now.
It would be nice if these features were included when you actually bought the damn thing. Still, some people like to tinker and mod their stuff, so it's all good.
@@YourGeekFix At least they give you the option to do so, instead of outright forcing it on you upon purchase. I mean, Hasbro could if they wanted to. Christ, man, they probably have design plans for their GI Joe toys that had to be approved by the Department of f**king Defense for all we know. What's a few blinking lights and a sound chip to them?
Very nice, just you should reduce the volume of the Music by 50%, it is way to loud and over time get a bit anoying if you need to concentrate to understand what you are saying. Also why did you made that much Resin for just the Lights?
Did you watch it on a phone. We learned after that year that TH-cam output on phone and computer was different for. Some phones did not even hear the dialog at all, but was fine on computer. I had a few things we used the resin for.
I do not have the knowledge or skill to attempt this on mine. Really want it though. Could I send you mine and pay you to do this? Would love my Ecto to look like this!
I get these requests a lot. However, Stevenlv 1990, this is the perfect project to try. You cannot go wrong. Even mistakes will only add to the look. The wiring is simple, no experience needed. I believe in You! If you have questions along the way, reach out to me yourgeekfix@gmail.com Good luck!
Yes! It was a pretty major production and will blow away the other two. However, a problem with my 3D printer, illness, and collaborator changes led to delays. I hope to at least post the preview this weekend. The actual video is most likely going to be New Years at this point. Make sure you are subscribed and hit the reminder bell!
Those big things on the back are actually just big reflectors (and only reflectors) Not a big deal, it's big misconception I found out just the other day
I'm afraid to put out a date at this time. each time that I have, something has come along. BlackBerry keeps putting off their part, And then getting sick you're having to work. However, it looks amazing so far.. This is a pretty major production action and well worth waiting for. However, it's probably gonna be a few days before I can put it up.
@@VaultClown Sorry, I initially typed the wrong reply to the wrong person. I think things will go well. Bethesda has to give me some rights to use a couple of things first, so they will be the first to see it.
In your video you say a small mistake and accidentally call the blue lights you call them the siren calling them the sirens on top. Anyways obviously not a big deal just wanted to point it out in case someone doesn't notice. Anyways thank you very much for your video its a great video and i got some great ideas on how im going to upgrade my Ecto-1. Thanks again and have a great day everyone.🚫👻👍✌ Ps im at 22 minutes into the video now and you did it again you keep calling the lights sirens lol this time saying that you had to drill into your sirens. Oh well its again no big deal i just thought it was a little funny is all.🚫👻👍✌
@@YourGeekFix that's funny because I never heard of a light that has the ability to make a loud noise like that of a siren. Bottom line call it whatever you want a light is not a siren thats all im saying you can be upset at me for leaving a comment if you want it was not my intention to upset you but if you are unfortunately nothing i can do about this. Thanks again and have a great day. 🙂👍✌ 😂🤷♂️👍✌
@@RavenTheLabrador Not at all Raven the Labrador. Just the name they chose to distinguish them from the other lights as they are tied to the sound chip that makes the sound. It's a good question.
You see on the original color the lights have this really fun pattern well it’s Leica a smooth transition but I understand if you weren’t able to do it because that would be very hard but I did enjoy the video

Unfortunately it is not to scale with any of the action figures in the market.
@@Rocket1377 Yea that would take it to another level
@@Rocket1377 True! Not even the plasma series. This is a perfect fit for the classic GIJOE figures. Could head swap.

Did you watch it on a phone. We learned after that year that TH-cam output on phone and computer was different for. Some phones did not even hear the dialog at all, but was fine on computer. I had a few things we used the resin for.
good job dude!
Thanks! Love your name! Be sure to subscribe and check out our other videos!
@@YourGeekFix i am subed thanks and i will!
@@thescotishtwins9106 thank you!
I do not have the knowledge or skill to attempt this on mine. Really want it though. Could I send you mine and pay you to do this? Would love my Ecto to look like this!
I get these requests a lot. However, Stevenlv 1990, this is the perfect project to try. You cannot go wrong. Even mistakes will only add to the look. The wiring is simple, no experience needed. I believe in You! If you have questions along the way, reach out to me yourgeekfix@gmail.com Good luck!
I have the Ecto 1 with darker front. And by the fins and doors there is weird smudges from packaging. And the wheels are plastic
@@GavinHaydam oh. Are you getting the new car when it is released?
@@YourGeekFix I’m a try to.
@YourGeekFix I was wondering if you could check out photos of my Ecto-1
Im not understanding how you removed the blue lights....
Which ones?
When is the next time you are gonna be live.
After video 3 for the pipboy. Why?
Because I want to be featured in a video
@@superlittlesonicdudes4841 ok
Is there a part 3 of Pip-Boy 2000 Mark VI? It said Part 2 of 3. Thanks.
Yes! It was a pretty major production and will blow away the other two. However, a problem with my 3D printer, illness, and collaborator changes led to delays. I hope to at least post the preview this weekend. The actual video is most likely going to be New Years at this point. Make sure you are subscribed and hit the reminder bell!
Cool
Thanks!
I like it
Me too.
Those big things on the back are actually just big reflectors (and only reflectors)
Not a big deal, it's big misconception I found out just the other day
I considered keeping it just reflector's, but I like the idea of lights much better.
@@YourGeekFix yeah definitely makes it look cooler
@@traviscrumbey7969 true!
Shouldn't the pipboy video be out by now?
I'm afraid to put out a date at this time. each time that I have, something has come along. BlackBerry keeps putting off their part, And then getting sick you're having to work. However, it looks amazing so far.. This is a pretty major production action and well worth waiting for. However, it's probably gonna be a few days before I can put it up.
@@YourGeekFix ok hopefully there are no issues
@@VaultClown Sorry, I initially typed the wrong reply to the wrong person. I think things will go well. Bethesda has to give me some rights to use a couple of things first, so they will be the first to see it.
That is actually the ecto-1 a because there's those headlights in the front
Ok
What..?
@@blurrlightt lol
😍
Thanks
@@YourGeekFix hi. I'm from Argentina
@@Liliana0521 hello from the US!
@@YourGeekFix yes , i'm know friend 😊🇦🇷🇺🇸
@@Liliana0521 👍
Oh yeah i tried buying this in Lazada....... it isnt even there
Unfortunate
In your video you say a small mistake and accidentally call the blue lights you call them the siren calling them the sirens on top. Anyways obviously not a big deal just wanted to point it out in case someone doesn't notice. Anyways thank you very much for your video its a great video and i got some great ideas on how im going to upgrade my Ecto-1.
Thanks again and have a great day everyone.🚫👻👍✌
Ps im at 22 minutes into the video now and you did it again you keep calling the lights sirens lol this time saying that you had to drill into your sirens. Oh well its again no big deal i just thought it was a little funny is all.🚫👻👍✌
If you purchase the lights from Evan designs, they are the "siren lights" distinguishing them from the "static lights"
I also used other flashing lights from the "captain" designed for the millennium falcon.
@@YourGeekFix that's funny because I never heard of a light that has the ability to make a loud noise like that of a siren. Bottom line call it whatever you want a light is not a siren thats all im saying you can be upset at me for leaving a comment if you want it was not my intention to upset you but if you are unfortunately nothing i can do about this.
Thanks again and have a great day. 🙂👍✌
😂🤷♂️👍✌
@@RavenTheLabrador Not at all Raven the Labrador. Just the name they chose to distinguish them from the other lights as they are tied to the sound chip that makes the sound. It's a good question.
get the lego one!
Do you have that one. There is a light kit for the Lego one.
An RC Ecto-1 is cool and all, but real Ecto-1car is even better.
This isn't RC, but that's a great idea!
No mi uno
?Porque no?
Talvez fosse mais interessante mostrar mais o processo do que o seu rosto o tempo todo
That allows me to cut hours Of work into a 30 minute video
The pandemic canceled any ghost hinting? I’d bet good money this genius wears a mask in the car by himself.
I was reliant on others from out of state to get us into the places I was going and they were locked down. Not a lot of ghostly places where I am.
The lights are not accurate
How so Logan?
You see on the original color the lights have this really fun pattern well it’s Leica a smooth transition but I understand if you weren’t able to do it because that would be very hard but I did enjoy the video
@@Newsmonkevr cool
You should get a 1:1 scale from a junkyard. Lol
Surprisingly, even that is expensive.
Stop playing with toyssssssss your full grown man 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I think you know what it is like.
