1:6 ecto 1 for 12" figures

Hello guys this is my first post on this forum. I collect and sell custom made GBS figures in 12", for those who don´t know, 12" figures are barbie size, here is a pic of my RAY next to a coca cola can for size reference...

So afther watching DR Spengler´s Kenner Ecto 1 reconstruction, i got all excited, his post served me as inspiration, and i decided i was going to build an ecto for my figures.... So i bought this classic barbie car off ebay, to start with a base, so it would be easier..

Boy i was wrong!!!!!!!!! turns out it ended up been A LOT OF HARD WORK, the doors didn´t open so ihat to figure out how to do that... also i hat to reinforse the base of the car, so it would hold the weight of the roof rack and the roof it self!

Hey CAZAFANTASMA!

Glad to see you post at last!

This is awesome work. We don't recognize the barbie car. Besides the wheels, that is. That's good looking. Do you have pictures of the process? there seems to be quite a few challenges in there.

Maybe I should go back to making scaled models...
