Converted Ghostbusters figures

[Evilcartoonist]

I've spent my spare time this week converting Heresy's sci fi customs inspectors into Ghostbusters figs:

Not to paint!

P.S. I asked at TMP (and got some good input), I'll ask here too: Can anyone recommend a toy or model of an ambulance I could convert into Ecto-1? The actual car was a 1959 Cadillac Ambulance. Do Corgi or Dinky or Models of Yesteryear do anything close if not exact?

Awesome

Fantastic work.

When I was a kid about 1970, I certainly had a Dinky / Corgi U.S. style 'long, low' ambulance which looked a whole lot like the Ghostbusters wagon.
I remember it was white and pale blue. I recall the colours looked more like an ice cream van than an ambulance!

This looks like it fits your description:

Brilliant work on those Ghostbusters, EC. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

On the subject of the Dinky Toys - if I remember correctly, are they roughly 1/48? Ie: Would they work with 28s? The seller has some vehicles that would be great for various projects. I'm thinking there's a role for that megaphone van.

Very nice ghostbusters, I say!

[The Hooded Claw]

Wow, most excellent. These would be a dream come true for any number of buddies of mine, not ot mention myself. Looks like an effective use of very simple, layered parts to make a wholey impressive final result.

Get those packs moulded and cast up!!!!!

Great work. Only one comment though, instead of green stuff for wires, you are better off using actual wires. Just strip down some elecrical cabling.

Too late. I used greenstuff for the larger cables, but I did use actual wire for the smaller wires. Usually, for projects like this, I'll use what I have at hand rather than what is best. I still think it came out all right

Painting will start tonight!

[Hitman]

Those are great!! I can't wait to see the finished product. They would also work for Zombie Games to I bet...I am only guessing as I have never played Zombie games before!!

[revford]

Great looking stuff, also a cool idea for a game.
