I have to ask. I've been looking into getting the Ecto-1 model at some point that you are building. What do you think about eagle moss that sells them? I've heard mix things their customer service and sometimes they don't send what was ordered. I'm just trying to find a honest review of the company. Sometimes you can't trust what everyone puts in a review

[@archiepops]

When the Siren started, I got Goosebumps!! Love it! Well done Wayne. :)

[@MrMcGear]

Huge smile on my face when I heard the siren!

[@rickgregory9616]

Mike Lane is a genus! This is why I prefer to modify as you build. I'm anxiously waiting for his Transfers and Tire Mods so I can start building the DeLorean. The wait may be frustrating as the issues pile up; (I have 1-6 waiting) but in the long run it's well worth it. Much easier to modify as you build. I have to say that when you started to apply the seat backs, I was concerned that with the awkward angle you'd have a difficult time to apply them perfectly...but your expertise shined through! Well done!

[@steve1315]

Back of the net Dude totes awesome. Mike Lane mod finishes it off just right.

[@BVENTUROUSATHLETICS]

Lord this build takes forever.

[@BVENTUROUSATHLETICS]

Only saying this cause I want to see the finished product.

[@rflester53]

Just finished my Issue 18 and had your video running to double check myself as I went along. No problems, everything works!! The quality of the LED assemblies is SO much better than the ones for the DeLorean build, its hard to believe they're from the same outfit. Next Issue I get to start working on the outer frame!

[@chris20years1]

Awesome I love that the sounds and lights and I’m looking forward to this stage when I get to it

[@fannymandelbaum7715]

I found many interesting data in my Maisto 1:18 1959 red Cadillac Eldorado convertible. By the way in my kit the air cleaner came painted in gold

[@bobbybates2614]

Hi wayne just to let you know that issue 47.48.49 of the spitfire there is nothing to do until you do issue 50 when all the parts are put in place

[@robt8593]

Hi Wayne. Think the brake lights double as rear lights. When headlights are on they are dim red, when brake pedal is pressed they are bright red. I had to swap your C&D back to normal on my build to get the correct functions - I might have corrected with a label swap when dash wires were fitted. Great build 👍

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep it does. We built this live on Patreom and checked that out

[@michaelwolak3098]

Hi Wayne great video on testing the lights had a thought when you put the headlights on and the brake lights came on these could have been the side lights and if you then pressed the brakes these lights could become brighter just like the old vehicles that had stop and tail lights in one bulb Mike

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep. That's what happens. We did test that in the live stream but I edited it out as I was talking over it

[@Remsbricks24]

So cool

[@bobbybates2614]

That looks real good wayne

[@bigmocollectibles1995]

Awesome job, not even the 1/6 Blitzway Ecto came with the siren sound.

[@jaymib3202]

just did this and wow it was alot easier then I thought it be. the only problem I got now is where am I going to store it till next issue. 🤣 before I just had it standing on its side but now with all the wires I don't wanna do that. need to make space. but looking forward to the next issue and to check here that I did it right. 🤣 also took me about 5 minutes to turn all the switches off to see the inner lights go off. 🤣

[@tood6459]

I was never a fan of the movie, but this is an amazing build.

[@Michigan_Tactical]

The neat thing about this is it can appeal to movie fans, car guys, etc. I loved the movie when I was a kid, now I'm more interested in the car and how the equipment was made.

[@robertgripton4499]

Nice work but will every one not a patreon get to se the unedited version if so when will this be viewable? Loving the build as all ways. Stay safe all.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I will look to releasing it on the next Ecto-1 build video

[@leonardtolman2014]

hmmm the button you pushed for engine sound did nothing on mine lol the left radio button was engine sound

[@mountdragon1989]

Another great episode, I've recently found your channel and over the past week have binge watched your entire ecto 1 build up to this episode. As someone who has never made one of these kits I'm now looking at starting this build after watching these. Would you know if there would be a way to start my subscription to eaglemoss and receive all of the issues up to where they are currently. Would like to catch up on the build to join along. Thanks for the amazing content and for introducing me to the hobby world of model building Keep up the great work.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep. I believe if you contact Eaglemoss they can accelerate your start. Its worth a try

[@thejamesieboy]

Hi Wayne could you not test each door switch one at a time, sort of like just put one in to it's place at a time. Then once you've checked they all work ok put them all in?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

No. They all have to be in the on position as that is what they would be like when the doors are closed. as soon as you release 1 the light should come on which would mimic a door opening.

[@thejamesieboy]

@@WorldofWayneUK Shame, would have been so much easier lol.

[@craigthornton1971]

Wonder what the wires in the first stage of the next issue are for. Also we get some framework!

[@arisscalemodeling350]

This model is amazing i really want the delorean but im scared to run into those issues of missing peices and issues taking longer than expected. But your ECTO-1 is coming along nicely Keep up the work!

[@rickgregory9616]

What really got me was: pressing the radio button for the horn! Hello! Why couldn't the steering wheel center cap be a button for the horn? It would make more sense if the steering column was hollow allowing a wire with a button connection. The button size can't be any different from the radio? ModelModz to the rescue....??

[@robt8593]

Think the stands supplied are meant to help put the car upside down but instructions failed to mention this?

[@raccabird8889]

Sweet

[@milanondrak5564]

The lights will look great once installed. The rear lights should get brighter when you press the breaks. If you check out my Facebook you'll see some photos of the lego version of this Cadillac Miller Meteor.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep. We did test that during the live stream

[@elwdriver]

hi wayne just fiited the wiring to find board is dead due to bad joint underneath the glue, also the horn dont work, my worry now is get a new board and carry on the build but if the roof lights that fit on top outside dont work thats a big strip down, im guessing the blue lights that will be on the roof rack will be flashing? not heard of anything about them yet, do u know anything?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I don't atbyhe moment but will look when I return from Vacation.

[@Trikeboy2]

A shame the siren doesn't have a natural cycle. The second siren doesn't finish before it repeats. I wonder if there will be a mod for that down the road.

[@stoatarts]

If there isn’t a mod then there’s always the Playmobil Ecto1 which has the correct siren cycle! 🙂

[@ChannelTwerp]

I was just about to say the same thing! Gutted that Eaglemoss couldn’t get something like this right. 😑

[@Thalon77]

The only possible mod for that would be a replacement board to swap the original control board with an Arduino one with the same connectors and an SD card module and a micro SD with the original sounds from the movie. Something a bit difficult to build and sell in big quantities.

[@docdeth904]

I'm using Arduino for lighting the back, strobes and sounds.. Possibly an Adafruit Trinket for space.

[@cameronhoodman]

My radio and engine buttons are mixed up any advice or suggestions for where I went wrong

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Keep the buttons where they are and just switch the letters on the wires.

[@darrenfinegan9731]

The cables are all attached but the break lights don’t work could you advise please live these videos massive help thanks

[@WorldofWayneUK]

It’s normally the switch No making contact behind the dashboard

[@darrenfinegan9731]

@@WorldofWayneUK fantastic sorted Thanks love the videos a massive help 👍

[@michaelmurray214]

So I subscribed to the eaglemoss I was confused as to if the lights and sounds come with the subscription or is this an aftermarket component?? Anyone know?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

All comes with it

[@michaelmurray214]

Ok nevermind I just realized I missed last episode now I'm caught up! 🙃

[@Michigan_Tactical]

It's a little late for this build but it may be useful in the future, for testing the interior lights, instead of trying to activate all 5 for switches at once you could've disconnected them.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

lol. That would have been much easier

[@Michigan_Tactical]

@@WorldofWayneUK I'm sure it will be. I enjoy the videos. I've been watching about 10 to 20 a day from part 1 and my new catch phrase is "let's get crackin'" .

[@chilichongoes9577]

2:37 *BULBS*

[@droop685]

Hey Wayne all of my lights work but my brake light. Any suggestions?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Check the main board again. It has to be a loose connection somewhere.

[@ohmydinosare]

this is interesting, I think I might have found one thing that my toy ecto-1 has done better than this model; although mine only has 4 lights - all on the roof- and one sound effect - the siren - when you put it on it plays that little "warm up" noise at the begining, but then it plays the regular siren sound uninterupted on loop for about a minute (or until you switch it off) and if you leave it until it stops it plays a sort of winding down noise at the end. This version seems to play that warm up noise every time the siren goes, you don't get that iconic repeating wah-wah-wah-wah from it? Unless I'm missing something. In every other way so far the Herocollector one wins by a country mile, maybe mine wins for practicality of storage, but I think I'm giving myself a point for the siren. Unless there turns out to be a proper looping version later on in this series, then I'll give my point back.

[@edwardmuldoon2720]

If you are struggling to hold all the switches together, you can just put one in at a time and check each switch individually.

[@MrMcGear]

Dammit, My brake lights don’t work when the pedal is depressed. And two out of the the four rear light are dimmer than the others, is that normal?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

No. I’m guessing the switch behind the pedal is not making contact

[@edwardbellamy6559]

Why not use some wire to tidy the wires up

[@billgriffiths1685]

"Such a little thing can make an impact" that's what my wife said.

[@torquetheprisoner]

[@gregcarter9680]

It makes sense that the tail lights will come on when you turn the headlights on

[@wonniewarrior]

We call them parkers, or rear parkers.

[@EpicConspiracy]

Omg I missed the steering wheel hole also 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@maildadgaming]

It's a good thing I'm not color blind. Some of the under dash wires were mislabeled in my shipment

[@obirobkenobi3599]

Has tonight’s livestream been deleted?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

No. I just edited it so I could cut the sound malfunction out at the start it will be live again shortly at kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqLQdIqXismMgZI

[@goofylookingmofo]

Too bad one of the radio switches doesn't 'tune-in' the radio to Ray Parker, Jr's Ghostbusters theme song... Despite licensing, someone should be able to do a mod for it...

[@obirobkenobi3599]

Been to Tesco today. Got home , did this stage, realised I’ve no batteries! 😡😡

[@udomartens3557]

👍👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@greenfire_tcg3491]

why does the siren have such a shitty loop 😓😓

[@sabermaster2000]

Looking forward for the modz to the siren and adding the strobe lights at the front.

[@docdeth904]

I'm already working or doing that with Arduino...

[@ranosian1135]

I missed the stream due to a noisy neighbour "/

[@GaryTabarJr]

The siren sounds awful! How could they botch that up?

I know you want to get on in life and there’s things you got to do, but I’m seriously disliking all the pop up videos ads you have now, sorry Wayne for the negative feedback

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I dont control them unfortunately. You can use an ad blocker to stop them I think.
