These stages were rough, flipping and turning over and over….this massive and heavy shell. Finally completed. Coming out amazing

I don’t why I can get so much joy out of watching someone else build a model, But keep it up! I always love the videos!

The sticker from EM is slightly bigger than when comparing to the Ecto-1 1984 film. I have added a reduced version on my site.... both vinyl and decal options.

onliy GREAT

I think that the sticker should have been already put on for you very fidley good luck Wayne all the best 👻

The trick to placing a sticker is to only pull the backing off partly, align the still backed part correctly, smooth the sticky part on, then remove the rest of the backing and smooth that on.

Thanks Wayne for the videos. I have never done a subscription model before and after watching some of the Ecto-1 videos I decided to subscribe and give it a try. I used your link so I hope you get the acknowledgement you deserve for the amazing amount of time and positivity you include in your videos. I am considering the Enterprise-D but want to see how I enjoy Ecto-1 first. Thanks again.

Wayne, echoing previous comments. soapy water will allow positioning. i used that trick when putting the vinyl stickers on an x-wing helmet build.

Wish they would release the 59 Cadillac as a stock convertible. It would look awesome.

Yeah, I agree with Paul, I think if you use a similar technique that you used with the carpet mod you did. I believe the sticker can be positioned and attached in a similar fashion. I have the utmost confidence that you'll be able to perform this operation without a problem. You must have confidence in yourself and your abilities my friend, I'm looking forward to your next ecto-1 video. You can do this! 😆

Wow. I can not wait to get to this stage Wayne. Ecto 1 is really looking impressive now the windscreen & the headlights are in place.

As a fair number of posters have commented, you can use a bit of soapy water to help position vinyl stickers. I know that this is how Lego now recommend placement of their stickers and it does make precise positioning a lot easier. Having said all that, it will still look like a sticker just due to the thickness, which is a pity on something this expensive.

Woot Ecto1

I'm thinking of painting mine on at the moment.

Love the Ecto 1

For stickergate; also for vinyl stickers you can use soapy water, de-grease the surface, then spray some soapy water on there and you can slide the sticker into place. When it’s in the right place/position you squishy the water from under you sticker and it’s solid as a house on there.

When I worked in the sign business we used transfer tape to help put vinyl into position, then soapy water and a squeegee to put it down.

Great video last night and now I'll send you my photo for the map Wayne 😊

Hi Wayne, great job so far! It's annoying, although I realise it's sometimes necessary to apply really fragile bits to these kits but then when you know that so much more manhandling needs to be done, which could threaten their survival! The Bismark is a good example, fit all the really fragile superstructure radar stuff etc and then you spend so much time with the thing turned over, yikes! The sticker: A modelling trick or tip is to scan them on to your computer before you do anything! That way you will always have a copy to play with should the unthinkable happen! These can then be reproduced very easily as a decal on special decal film paper. This would work very well on this particular sticker and may actually look better too! The advantage of a decal is that it is thinner and so much easier to position on the model. Great video by the way! Regards JH ;-)

I agree ... The sticker looks a bit large and thick , I think a decal would be better🤔

I'm loving this build I wish I could afford to build this myself. But I can't wait to see if they can do a mod for the strobes that are supposed to be on the grill.

Enjoy your weekend Wayne 😁👍

I don't know if it's because I've applied more than my fare share of stickers on lego bricks but I can't imagine this is gonna be much more different than that. What I would probably do is trace an outline of the door panel on which it will go, then cut out reference sections to attach to the door itself with tape or something and apply the sticker using an xacto knife (not sure I'm explaining this very well). The soapy water trick works too.

Ian Campbell over at Partwork Upgrades is currently workimg onna Ecto-1 door side door decal as we speak

If you look at the decal in the film, look at where the quarterpanel is, you can see the sticker given is larger than what was in the film. I don’t have a huge problem with the sticker in terms of quality, but it is definitely larger than what is movie accurate.

Wayne if you measure find the centre of the door mark with a pencil dot then you no it is dead centre on the door

Received the wrong trim piece in stage 77. The one that came with mine is the left trim piece not the right, uuugghhh! Now I have to call Eagle Moss and wait for a new one to be sent out.

That sticker should be a transfer, applied before lacquer so it won't get damaged. Stickers never look right.

Bravo pour ta vidéo 👏👏👏 elle avance bien 👍👍👍👍

easy way to make sure it's in the right place is to apply some soapy water that way you have some play to get it where you want it then squeegee it.

Still waiting for my issue of 21 to arrive with the replacement hood hinge cannot wait to start getting started with all of the other bits looks like the gremlins played you a visit last night lol

i think my left hood trim has a mistake it seems to catch when i try to close it

By the way Wayne another RU-vidr said that he watched you his channel is EmGo

Yeah on the ecto1 that first issue of the hood and vents and license plate where does that ghostbusters logo sticker goes on does it go on the drivers side door and the other one goes on the passenger side door is that where the sticker goes on

Good Video cannot wait to get to those issues. I am stuck back at issue 8 still ( being shipped currently). Glad the shipments are starting to pick up again and Back issues i had to put on hold till they got back in stock are finally in!! Same problem with the Delorean i had to put issue 37 on hold till it got in stock but im near the Dreaded issue 48 now and all my modz i ordered for the upcoming bulkhead i havent heard an update on since Feb so i am kinda worried there

Yeah I wish I kept the plastic on my windshield I already scratched it by putting it upside down on my screwdriver set I could call Eaglemoss up but that was my fault nothing to do with them it’s not too noticeable

I’m bricking it with the sticker lol I’m crap at lining them up 😂

Looking good 🙏🙏💞💞🐕🐕🍻🍻👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

While I'm initially disappointed that the logo is a separate sticker, I bet folks wanting to mod this to the GB 2 or Afterlife versions of the car are happy to not have to remove the stock no-ghost logo.

Having now completed these stages, I have noticed some light bleed from the headlights at each side of the bumper. Just wondering if I should paint the backs of the headlight bulbs rather rhan use insulating tape.

I noticed your hood clicks when you close it mine doesn’t and doesn’t stay closed when upside down anyone know what I should look at to fix this

If you could only pick 2 of the eagle moss build up kits. Which two would you pick? I decided on ecto 1 and enterprise.

Just wondering if anyone can help, my bonnet won’t lock into place, it opens & closes ok but it won’t lock so when I turn the car upside down the bonnet flies open :-(

Just reviewing these videos as I should be getting these fairly soon. What Stage did those cross braces behind the headlight assembly come in? I've not seen them in anything that I've gotten so far.

Is that almost all the front end done accept the windscreen wipers? Loving the build as all ways. Stay safe all. P.S i will what till part 80 to say my peace but i will do so respectfully. To all potential younger viewers watching and reading with a over 14year old present.

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Which car do / did you enjoy more, Ecto-1 or the DeLorean?

The little cross wires where not there are they needed or do I need to re order Thanks in advance daz

You should compare that sticker to the sticker that came with pack 1 we haven’t used yet

That's one cool looking car. By the way there's a Knight Rider car partwork coming out in Japan early next month from Deagostini Japan. I wonder if we'll see in the UK? According to the site it says its releasing 1st June. I'm tempted to pick up the first issue on Amazon Japan when released. It appears to be weekly.

I know what my next build is going to be

Might be a daft question, but how do you open up the hood no it’s attached to the front lights? As you can no longer reach the catch, how does it work? Sorry, I don’t recall seeing anything about it in previous videos or the magazine. Cheers

hi wayne what pack was steel rods in as dont seem to have them

hi can you member what issue had the cross braces i only have one of them

Hi wayne can u tell me what stage the crossbrace came in as i threw mine away lol

Hey Wayne, do you know how long eagle moss keeps their models on the site? I want the ECTO-1 Eleanor Mustang and the Nissan GTR but can only get one right now.

Didn't issue 1 part 1 come with a sticker as well? Looks like that one may be for the other door. Do you still have that?

Anyone else having a problem with the trim between the fender and hood, mine doesn’t sit flush and the hood scrapes and doesn’t close properly 😡

what is the size of the cutting mat you use

Hi Wayne my t-shirt has arrived where do I send a pic for merch on the map

i think the sticker looks great i don't see what the complaining is about , cause this way you can have the logo on it just the way you want it , with out having the factory make a mistake when its painted on and then your stuck with it

No need to measure it really, it’s oversized and not accurate in hand details , Mike Lane fixed it now
