Ecto 1 model build windows#
The doors, hood and windows all open, the headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and emergency lights all work, the siren sounds, and the steering wheel turns the front wheels. The new model is based on a careful study of the actual 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance used in the 1984 supernatural comedy, every possible detail of the ECTO-1 has been carefully reproduced in 1:8 scale. It produced such a great reaction wherever it went!” “As we drove by in New York, people didn’t know what it was. It was fun to drive it in New York with all its pot holes!” The interior tech displays are a little low-key and make use of very common. There was one with a normal motor for pulling away and interior shots, and another one with a fast motor for getting away quickly. The next sections of the exterior aren’t a complex build, but they really capture the shaping of the ECTO-1 perfectly. It’s got a really good, big motor in it, it’s comfortable to sit in… It’s a little difficult to drive around corners because of its width and bars underneath but then a Cadillac of that vintage isn’t going to handle like a Porsche. It’s got beautiful power steering but it’s wide and handles like a boat.
Premises ( build- ings and grounds ) shall be kept clean and in good repair. There’s no way a hearse would have a seat there for anyone to attend to a passenger!” ( 1 ) Prior to the introduction of noncon- ditioned dogs or cats into empty. And inside, next to the side door where we put our packs, there was a little seat where patients could be attended to.
Ecto 1 model build movie#
Of the ECTO-1, Aykroyd says “The conceit in the movie was it was a hearse converted to an ambulance, but in real life it was an ambulance that we converted to a hearse and then converted to an ambulance! The hearse just has a pallet to put the coffin in the back, but the ambulance has things like stretcher bars.
