Hasbro Plasma Ecto-1 Afterlife "Barn find" mod phase 4. Still have to finish some interior stuff and some paint and light leaks on the exterior. #ghostbustersafterlife #toys #ecto1 #models #ghostbusters #hasbro
This looks AMAZING!!! Could you share what type of lighting you did, where did you purchased it and do a quick tutorial or text explaining how you got this extreme realist light rotating effect? Thank you
well of the normal lights are just plain 3mm, 5mm and 10mm leds, or blinking multicolor leds. The pulsating leds, blinking ones, flashers etc are run by a Teensy 3.2 microcontroller. The realistic rotating beacon lights were done by using 8 Pistenking 1/16 scale blue beacon leds, so 4 per light bar. These are really good, but quite expensive... around 40 euros each, so that was 320 euros for only the blue light bars (ouch but can't beat a Pistenking). I also added an Adafruit sound board which is triggered by a button on the dash and ofcourse does the siren. And also a battery and charger, so it can run on itself. Drilling out the plastic on this model was the hardest...it's a bit soft. I made some build photos on my FB page a while back facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.5592548287445545&type=3
