THANK YOU! I'm planning on customizing mine now that I have the whole set of figures and the firehouse! Im going for a more 1984 version! SO EXCITED TO GET THIS STARTED!
Normally I'd like to keep my toys as they are but when I first saw it out of the box I wasn't impressed and I was like this needs a customization, and there weren't any videos on it except yours so thank you for that. I didn't do much however I just wanted to make it look like the box
Oh boy JJ this one was fun! I like what cha did and what you chose to do it too! And yes I did learn a thing er two. Was gonna fix this year's crop of rust on Wifey's SUV. But instead,, I'm gonna cover the rolling turd in graphite, baby power, shoe polish and urine. Thanks JJ 👍
Did anybody else notice he had a rare variant of the box that the Ecto 1 comes in? The original box design had phoebe in her flight suit but they changed it to her normal outfit but if you look at the box he has the rare variant of the box!
Just bought one after viewing this video. Just painting the Metal parts wil do juat fine. I like the toy aspect it's tye right size for my vintage action figures.
Great job. For the blue rubber hoses I covered them in modge podge and spray painted them blue.. then another coat of sealer and it looked great. Take a look at one of my latest stopmotions. Thank you!
Hi, Josh. What an awesome video! I've watched it a few times, and you inspired me to customize my own based on your process. It's turning out awesome!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
Looks amazing- The close-ups on the stickers show that they weren't printed well / cut out- I'd recommend getting some cut out stickers- but that is so nitpicky- It looks amazing.
Thank you, I appreciate it! And yeah, I actually thought about upgrading the decals with some better ones, but ultimately figured I'd just go with what I had. Thanks for watching!
@@JustJoshinAround Thanks dude! I'm also considering doing an RC lighting kit on a cheaper Playmobil or something to see if I can get that right first.
Hey josh im starting to make my one for useing brown paint an i placed more brown paint on the hood an for the search lights i mixed some light blue an blue an for the lights for the front i used the same blue an light blue an i withered the back more an the side were the water want on it theres not much dirt on the side thank u for inspiring me❤❤❤❤❤
I know this is an old video, but I recently bought the new car from the new movie, and I wanted to try this out, was wondering what kinda paint was used! Would those lil acrylic paints from Wal-Mart work?
Oh cool! I used mainly Testors Model Masters Enamel paints, but they're unfortunately not being produced anymore. I would think that acrylics should work, though the car may need some extra prep first and/or sealing afterward. Not sure tho. Good luck!
Just bought this for my 7 year old son for Christmas as a surprise. Totally considering some of the paint mods to improve it into realism (may forego the rust treatment) Could you list what exact paints you used for the Silver, White, Graphite, etc.? Thanks!
Oh awesome! I used all Testors enamel paints - flat finish black, white, yellow, red, rubber and metallic silver and bronze. The powdered graphite is General's brand and it's Kiwi black shoe polish. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!

Didnt get that far with mine. Just added some silver paint and painted that ugly white roof. Also painted the hoses as you did. Just left it unrusted for display and yes that plastic allowed me to correct a lot of stuff i did wrong
Hey, I just bought this toy, and i'm going to make it the Ecto 1a from ghostbusters 2. Im buying the stickers from the old kenner version, and making my own roof rack, and painting the entire thing. Wish me Luck!
Hahaha, thanks. That's something I've been asked about before and I've really been thinking about the best, most effective way to do that. Not sure what to do yet Thanks again!
@@JustJoshinAround It was an emotional roller coaster for me from the beginning. Egon Spengler always was my favorite of the gang... seeing him come back to life to see him dissolve in the air at the end was a tear jerker
i think the two new movies are good but the thing is a 12yr old girl or however old she is and her older brother that is 15 or something just is not it for ME idk i just feel like a 12yr old could not have more ''talent or ''skill' than the original ghostbusters and i say that because that is basically implied in the new frozen empire,idk it just is not for me that hole the kids are the main characters thing

Oh cool, glad to help in some way!
Amazing result
This video is the only reason I keep wanting to buy this version of the car every time I see it at walmart. Super cool results!
Thank you very much!!
Could you customize the figures that go along with it to make them look more elderly?
That's a really cool idea, I'll have to look into that. And make some time to do it!
Thanks man now I know what I want mine to look like , I might add lights and repaint interior
Oh that's awesome, good luck with yours!
This will be a huge help when I repaint my Ecto-1 popcorn bucket from AMC Theater.
Bwahahahahaha
Dang, I didn't get a notification! Saw it on Thanksgiving! thought it was great!
Oh haha, yep. It's such a great movie!
This is phenomenal
Thank you very much!

And I'm sure your wife will be happy with the results hahaha

Awesome!! That's exactly why I do this - to help, inspire, and entertain, so thank you! And I hope it all worked out well!
@Just Joshin' Around Yes, it's displayed proudly in my Ghostbusters collection! It looks great! Thanks for the techniques

That looks legit. Great work
Thanks, it was a lotta fun to work on this one
Ngl, you did a pretty damn good job
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
I've got an AMC Ecto-1 Popcorn Container coming from eBay I think I'll be using some of your paint applications to make it that much better
Oh that's a cool idea! And glad I could help
@@JustJoshinAround Thanks dude! I'm also considering doing an RC lighting kit on a cheaper Playmobil or something to see if I can get that right first.
@@calvinriley3292 yep! And that sounds really cool too! Let me know how it works out
Hey i just seen the movie, and i liked it, so yeah im thinking for that kind of car for my birthday, the ecto 1 car toy
Nice!
I ❤ your video it's very important to me to make better decisions to paint my Ghostbusters frozen empire car
Hey josh im starting to make my one for useing brown paint an i placed more brown paint on the hood an for the search lights i mixed some light blue an blue an for the lights for the front i used the same blue an light blue an i withered the back more an the side were the water want on it theres not much dirt on the side thank u for inspiring me❤❤❤❤❤
That sounds awesome - I'd love to see a picture of it!!
I'll do a video an show u an merry Christmas ❤❤❤❤
Good job dude, really like what you did with it
Thank you, glad you like it!

Hey Josh! will you go watch Frozen Empire? I'M so PUMPED for it!!!
Heck yeah! I can't wait!!
What kind of paints and other materials did you use? Could you make a list?
I used all Testors enamel paints - flat finish black, white, blue, yellow, red, rubber, and metallic silver and bronze. The powdered graphite is General's brand and it's Kiwi black shoe polish.
Oh yah that ectoplasmic ooze will do a number on the under coating. Really your in luck that it’s in as good a condition as it is
Hahahaha for sure
Did you seal this with anything? Also was the testors paint you used acrylic or enamel?
I didn't end up sealing it, but the Testors paint that I used is enamel.
You should make the Ghostbusters afterlife plasma series ecto 1 in to the one from the first movie 😂
That would be cool!
Didnt get that far with mine. Just added some silver paint and painted that ugly white roof. Also painted the hoses as you did. Just left it unrusted for display and yes that plastic allowed me to correct a lot of stuff i did wrong
Oh, nice! That sounds cool!

@@JustJoshinAround it’s done, for the most part. It came out great.
Oh wow! That is fantastic. Sell them on ebay so i can buy one lol
Hahaha, that's a great idea, I should start doing that.
And thanks!
@@JustJoshinAround hello! I sent a couple of messages via IG in regards to possibly having one of these made for me. Thank you
it looks pretty amazing
merry xmas from russia!
Thank you!!
Ghostbusters after life
Yep
the tubes are suposed to be blue but that blue they used was way to light and its a lot darker
Oh thanks, yeah I thought they were definitely too bright. But that makes sense that they should just be a darker blue
Where one dog two cats one's a kitten was an adult and the kids so adorable and fluffy
the hoses ARE meant to be blue, but they are darker in the movies than on the toys (i assume its for production purposes)
Gotcha
SiCK!!!
Thanks!!!
This is amazing! I posted the link on my Twitter.
Thank you, that's awesome!
It's cool but what about the windows
Thanks, I know, I should've done something with those
The car used to look so cartoony, now it looks realistic
Thanks!
I was thrilled until you dirtied it ;)
it looked great as a pristine car.... do you take commission?
Hahaha, thanks. That's something I've been asked about before and I've really been thinking about the best, most effective way to do that. Not sure what to do yet
Thanks again!
@@JustJoshinAround thanks for the reply :)
what did you think of the movie? I thought it was epic and did everything right
Oh absolutely - it was such an enjoyable and unexpectedly emotional movie for me. Loved it!
@@JustJoshinAround It was an emotional roller coaster for me from the beginning.
Egon Spengler always was my favorite of the gang... seeing him come back to life to see him dissolve in the air at the end was a tear jerker
@@raynekraven for sure. It was just so well done and such a nice tribute to both Egon and Harold himself
How big is the car because the box is real small
I Bought this in SM City for 1000 Pesos. I was originally gonna buy this in Lazada but it costs 700 more
Have you ever had a director call you before for a movie and tell you that they needed help to make a prop
That would be a dream come true - I would love to work somewhere like Weta Workshop.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
I bought Ecto 1 From online shopping
Nice!
@@JustJoshinAround Much obliged man.
Needs lights.
I agree
And they live in one house
Something about that toy is off to me maybe the roof is too flat and windows to high and thats why i pass on it even though its very affordable
It's hyper stylized, it's not meant to be an exact replica of the shape of the actual car dude. C'mon now
Exactly! Haha
It definitely has some strange proportions and shaping, but it's just part of the stylization
When he doesn't move the ladder:(
TAKE IT OUTSIDE AND PLAY IN THE DIRT THAT'S HOW YOU GET IT DIRTY
Hahahaha
Van
In my opinion the front is to short it looks of
The proportions are definitely a bit wonky, bit I just chalk that up to it being a stylized version
i think the two new movies are good but the thing is a 12yr old girl or however old she is and her older brother that is 15 or something just is not it for ME idk i just feel like a 12yr old could not have more ''talent or ''skill' than the original ghostbusters and i say that because that is basically implied in the new frozen empire,idk it just is not for me that hole the kids are the main characters thing
