I bet many of you also like me grew up watching
this movie or even become a fan of it you know my first encounter with Ghostbusters was not from the
movie back in 80s I visited my cousin's place and found this cassette it was a pop song combination
and when I listened to it there's one song that's so catchy and I love it very much I know it's
about Ghostbusters but at that time I never knew how they look like I thought it's just a music from
a pop singer or a band not from movie soundtrack my childhood was like many other young boys in
Indonesia we love riding bicycle with friends and going adventure together it portraits perfectly
just like on Stranger Things I like Halloween from watching American movies but we don't celebrate
here but different culture aside I think Halloween is good for family activity having fun
together creating costume decoration and all I finally watched Ghostbusters movie that aired
on TV in the 90s and I like to watch Ghostbusters animated TV series after coming home from school
and then fast forward in 2016 I designed a template for Ghostbusters car papercraft model
like this one is this Ecto 1A from Ghostbusters 2 movie it's funny I don't remember that movie or
maybe I haven't seen it anyway I wanted to make an RC model of it just like my previous project RC
Datsun 240Z model this is 1/4 scale it's I think it's too big for Ecto one but 1/5
Scale is not big enough for me so I came up in the Middle with 1/ 4.5 scale I start measure
the model by modeling it in blender but I will not making a plans to save time I'm sorry guys
it's just for measurement on Datsun model I had a difficulty on driving power or the motor so
for now I will use ready-made RC model car here I will use this Truggy Rlaarlo to drive the Ecto 1
but I tell you it's not like what you have imagined it will be I start with making the wheels
I use EVA foam and plywood for Wheels material diameter of the wheel is 17.2
centimeters or about 6.8 inch and use one inch PVC pipe for the shaft it's very hard to DIY the wheel dop so
this time I use my friend's 3D printer I also use plywood for the chassis and
strengthen with two lightweight hollow steel here I use this Rlaarlo 1/14 truggy RC car
to drive to ecto-1 first I remove all the unnecessary Parts like spoiler and front wheels
this is how I utilize this RC car and yes this is one of laziest DIY RC car on YouTube I'm
sorry guys and these rear wheels are fake ones and this is how I make the steering
and use standard Servo for steering it I set up the front wheels like this
so it will have suspension yes it works the low wheels are
barely visible from the outside is based on 1959 Cadillac professional chassis the
Ecto 1 Cadillac was an ambulance in the 70s with the original color already white and red did you
know that Dan Aykroyd's original Ecto 1 was all black but changed to White because there will be many
night time scenes on the movie Ecto 1 was designed by Stephen Dane for Columbia pictures you can see
his name as Hardware consultant on the movie's credit scene I use foam board or XPS foam and
styrofoam block or EPS foam for the material and then cover it with white packing tape for
glossy finish why foam because the size of the model compared to the small RC car to drive it
I have to make it as light as possible for the headlights I use parts from cheap rechargeable
flashlight it's very cheap less than a dollar each for the front grill I use wooden popsicle sticks the foam board thickness is 6 mm
and I use LED strip like this for the lamps here I attach plywood formers and then attach
window glass using 0.5 mm Mica plastic wait what how come oh actually I accidentally
deleted about 50 builds videos but don't worry I'll make a quick tour first after I attach the
roof I place a 5 cm thick foam block like this and carve it sand it and cover
it with packing tapes into like this with Police blue light box made out of mica plastic
you can see the inside is blue strobo LEDs this lamp is 3D printed I have five of
them four with blue lights and one with red light I use LED Stripes like this
for all the lamps red and blue and power with 12 volt battery this tube is using
paper card under this foam box there's an MP3 player to play the siren sound
effect I loop it for around 10 minutes this one is from foam board and small cables for
details this one I found it on the kitchen I hope my wife will not mad at me from foam again also
foam even the rack is made out of foam board and painted black with water-based acrylic paint I
use small water hose for this one I painted gray and two of them blue and wrap around with
nylon thread to simulate a flexible hose bigger one is 2s for the motor and
3s for all the LED lamps okay now the car is finished so what's next
wandering around the neighborhood for trick or treat is not gonna work there are no people here
around this late and everybody here is just don't care even with illuminated fake pumpkin so it's not
gonna happen how about ghost hunting not catching ghosts just you know detect them you know
I'm more than a UFO hunter than a ghost hunter anyway there are many commercially ghost
detector around and they are quite expensive around 60 dollars I know ghost detector is just an EMF
detector so instead of searching ghost detector I tried to find an EMF detector and I found one
here only about eight dollars it is the thing I already got here it detects EMF electromagnetic
field why it has to do with ghosts well after a quick search from Google there are 3
understanding about this this phenomenon first in Ghost Hunter Community, ghosts generate EMF
second ghosts like to be in the area that has EMF because they use the force to manifest I
mean EMF force not the force for my Ally this the third one is from science field from Michael Persinger's
observation that EMF induced human brain to have otherly present feeling and sickness
sometimes hallucinating and seeing ghosts either way we just need to find electromagnetic
field around I put the EMF detector on the car's dashboard it will be like this if
detecting an EMF radiation now we're good to go and we found nothing but Tom the
cat he followed us from home
