Thanks for all the comments and support, I have started on further ghostbuster projects but I don't want to share anything too early until I'm more happy with the results :)

Nice!, I like the way you've got the containment unit in there too, it would be cool to have it on the other side under the stairs, you could then pretend it was the basement when you opened it up and give that part a different wall treatment.

I've added a few minifigs to the project

June it comes out. I did a very rough estimate tonight, it's around 1800 pieces. It sounds like a lot but some of that is due to parts where I could have used one piece but instead used 2 that were cheaper to achieve the same result, as you said, scaling it down would reduce it considerably, I think some of the legs and arms could be done with single larger cylindrical pieces and even the hands could be replaced with those 1 piece ones, that alone would save about 50 pieces.

I'll have to get back to you on that, I'll have to do a rough count without taking it apart. Yeah I think it would be heavily dependant on the sales of Ecto-1 and I think the stay puft would most likely need to be scaled down too.

I'd be all over a 66 batman batmobile, I just voted for one on cuusoo the other day

You beat me to it :P I've made a thread for it here

Inside the trap :)

Any parts like that you can replace with others, as long as there's enough support underneath them to join them.

Yes the stand is included

Yes they have 2 sided prints, you can see the other sides in the large version of this image Official Ecto-1 Rear by Brent Waller, on Flickr

I dunno, it sounds like he's been pretty sick the past few years

Sad day indeed, I knew he was a director and writer as well but I forgot how many great movies he's done, Stripes, Caddyshack, National Lampoon's Vacation and one of my all time favourites, Groundhog Day RIP Harold Ramis

Sorry I've never seen that error before, I wish I could help No sorry, it was something I quickly knocked up for that expo, if I was to do it properly it would have a proper interior and I'd likely put more effort into it.

Very nice bbqqq, and yeah, I assume you reverse engineered that ecto-1 and decals? it looks pretty accurate

Awesome, Thanks for the tip, I'll add it to the zip file for future downloaders

For anyone interested I've made an LDD file for the Ghostbusters Firehouse

I used really tiny LEDs called SMD LEDs from this place http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/ They're really tiny and fit inside the transparent bricks, and the wires are so fine they can easily fit between to connected bricks.

That's exactly what I did with the CUUSOO model at the last local BrisBricks Expo... Ecto-1 outside the haunted house by Brent Waller, on Flickr Ghostbusters on the job by Brent Waller, on Flickr

Haha, I was trying to do my best Bill Murray impression from Lost in Translation when he's filming the whiskey ad. I don't know the exact reasons why it's come so fast, maybe they're trying to take advantage of the 30th Anniversary in June. I should do a story or something on CUUSOO tips.

I'm not sure but I think it was only on show for an hour or so. That's actually the piece I used, however the connection to the back wasn't terribly strong so I'd say they probably changed it to improve the strength. I keep meaning to do an LDD file for my firehouse, it has no interior but it'll give people a place to start at least.

There's some more pics of Marcos Bessa showing it off at Legoworld Copenhagen here showing the interior too. Also I can confirm, NO STICKERS

So glad you guys have seen it now, it's been hard to hold my tongue. I can't wait for better quality pics though as that picture above is better than the pics I've seen myself! Better pics on the cuusoo blog Even one of me :P

Now you've got me wanting to make a tiny little poly bag version :) I forgot to mention I actually built that old ecto with my old childhood lego parts, I generally don't mix them with my new stuff as they're quite well used (I could slap my 10 year old self for using his teeth to pull apart bricks)
