Haha, Thanks, T.B.

I know it's late ;

 Don't care . This is the best try I have seen to create a truly unique graveside service vehicle that can do it all ! This also surmises the comment WEIRD ! ! T.B.

Yes, brilliant idea. Like one of those gantry systems mounted to the roof sticking out the back a several scale feet.

....needs a crane on the back to lower the casket 

Hi Robert, Thanks for the compliments. Great score on that 1/1 ride man!

Is the Ecto-1A kit directly convertable to a hearse or is there some mods needed? I heard something about the roof being an ambulance which is different than a hearse or something like that. Anyway post the Blog here on FSM. You'll get a lot of interest.

Someone should try a Halloween horror themed GB. I'd consider it this year if I didn't have so much stuff on the plate already.

 

A Macabre/Horror theme GB, yes, I'd be interested for sure.

SprueOne - Compliments to the chef on this one! It looks fantastic! I'm currently working on/off on converting the Ecto-1A into a hearse/ambulance vehicle. My wife and I are proud owners of a 1966 Oldsmobile 98 black hearse with two-tone gray brocade interior that we use for our "special" nights out on the town. Once again, Great Job!!!

Thanks for looking in and your compliment.

I think this years' Halloween build will be a scratch build of a casket in 1/25-1/24 scale

and I better get started  

Great Idea! Looking good so far, cant wait for  more!

Thanks for checking in and the comment. It was fun!

I need to think about another Halloween build SOON 

Hey ! Sprue ;

Now that's what I call using your imagination . Something that can pick-up , carry and deposit too - Awesome !    T.B.

Oh, Man!

How did I miss this one the first time around?!

.

Just in time for Halloween 2014, too!

That is one SPOOK-TACULAR JOB !

.

....and ditto on those pumpkins !

That looks wicked. Love it!

Thanks OctaneOrange. This was super fun.

Plating over the rear wheel opening was just easier and quicker. And this action stayed with my rule of using only what is available in the two kits.

The only exception and material which broke this rule was the cables installed to simulate the articulation of the front shovel and boom. This was fishing line 

i hope you had fun building this, it sure looks like it was. so this vehicle digs  your grave, then dumps you in it? Is there a reason  you plated over the rear wheel arch rather than filling it in?

Thanks dude!  

The funnest build project this year for me 

LMAO!!!!  Dude....that thing is completely wrong - and I love it!  

That's an excellent concept - very, very cool.  Nicely done.

Ah common now. 

Thanks brother 

Oh my god----this is the COOLEST thing I've seen here on a long time!!

EXCELLENT job, Sprue!!!!

Thanks Guys !

I applaud your creativity, imagination, modeling and kitbashing skills. I looks like it was meant to be.

What fun this was to see! Thanks for sharing it!

OMG this thing is f'n' awesome!

Gamera - Haha bess, we can't forget, Mistress of the Dark. Thank you

DUSTER - Thanks for the compliment. Like poetry !

Eagle90 - … it also rolls, transports, digs and deposits  Thank you

gregbale - Thanks, Greg

Magnificent, bordering on mythic. Beautifully done!

Sprue....THAT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Awesome job dude!  That is one unique build my friend!  

nice work. good job of creating and executing (grone) . the job is "dead "on and has more than a ghost of a chance of  becoming a classic. 

Sure came out looking weird and possible, in some part of the world. 

Wow, that's fantastic! Love the coffin and the drapes. Only way it could be cooler is if Elvira were driving!
