It’s a fantastic build and I love watching you show me a preview of what’s coming up. I just wish I could get parts on a regular basis.

[@obirobkenobi3599]

I love this build! So much happens every month!! 😍

[@danceelitedanceclub9927]

Hello Wayne! It's absolutely fantastic build! Thank You for build experience!

[@robertgripton4499]

I thought its best to see when the trims are put in place if we have gap problems myself. Loving the build as all ways. Stay safe all.

[@jonathanlin9772]

Please check the gear alignment at 4:37. It looked like the arrows on your gears were misaligned by one tooth. That might explain the difference in hood gap at the end.

[@briangilbert8144]

I seen the same thing.

[@raccabird8889]

Awesome it's coming on nicely now

[@ohmydinosare]

I didn't expect the hinges to be so elaborate, I was imagining the type of hinges you get on like a door inside a house. Also didn't expect the hinges to hold the bonnet open like that, I thought you'd get one of those stick things inside that you prop bonnets up with.

[@thisgetaway2063]

Love the channel and ordered my Ecto-1 today. Looking forward to getting started, my first model and I am sure not my last.

[@LadyArceeprime24]

Woot more Ecto 1

[@Trikeboy2]

Looks great. I just finished the wiring and the initial electrics test. I noticed a few of my dashboard buttons were wrong. Oops. Just had to figure out and rearrange the plugs to get them all doing the correct thing.

[@walterbright2853]

I got notified this morning that my first shipment for this one was sent out yesterday so thanks to you and your videos I’m going to be build the DeLorean, the Ecto-1 and once it arrives the Enterprise D. Can’t wait

[@synthlord2368]

Looking Absolutely Fantastic! I cant wait to see it with the front fender on. Would you indulge us and fit the front bumper into place at the end of that video?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I will lol

[@michaeljohnwicks2328]

Well done Wayne. No breaking springs. Just noticed how problematic it could be installing the bonnet. I will remove the engine bay frame to install the bonnet, as I don't want to damage the body.

[@2rueblue]

You can put a little shim in where the screw goes to offset it a little, a small fibre washer would do and just sand it until it gives you the movement needed for the bonnet, it's the same deal with a full size car, panel gap always takes time. Tighten one side and loosen the other, it just takes a little tuning buddy

[@Milner62]

Not just that but cars like this in the real world didnt have perfect panel gaps even from the factory.

[@bedfordshiremodeller4491]

You could even add asmall dab of Silicone Grease on those gears for smoother cog movement

[@omimon2478]

I’ve got the stage 7 8 9 10 for the doge charger

[@NATHANTRONICS]

J'adore

[@bobbybates2614]

That looks really impressive wayne I had a notification of shipment last saturday but it has still not arrived so I wait till next tuesday to see if it arrives

[@paulclaude7323]

Congrats Wayne, nearly there, just a quick question, with shipment 10 they said we will get the plinth, whats that...did you get it? Thanks

[@WorldofWayneUK]

It's the base it sits on. Yep. I have it

[@paulclaude7323]

@@WorldofWayneUK thanks a lot, gotta send them an email

[@jeffd7557]

I think the adjusted spring ( tighter on the one side ) is the cause of the gap 🤔

[@WorldofWayneUK]

I checked that it didn't make a difference.

[@TheStuartReeves]

Love these videos! They make me (slightly!) less anxious about starting this build/ Can you recommend a precision screwdriver? I've gone through so many on the "Build The Terminator" build and about to start this one and would like a good screwdriver.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

The Wera PH0 . Its in my Amazon store. Check for links in the description of any of my videos.

[@alainrule9907]

Hi Wayne, could the small panel gap difference be due to you having to shorten one spring when it broke?

[@WorldofWayneUK]

No the spring only gives tension it does not change position of the hinge positions.

[@alainrule9907]

@@WorldofWayneUK ah, makes sense... I just wondered if the spring was pulling it back slightly... love all the builds...

[@julianmhall]

'... a masterclass...' '... that nearly went in my finger...' Need I say more? :)

[@johnlimb953]

new sub here👍, really enjoying these build’s 👌 silly question what oil are you using cheers wayne 👍

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Thanks for the sub. Its just a regular 3 in 1 oil

[@ScytherDracon]

Wayne, for those how have not done the Mains/battery upgrade (like me), do you have any suggestions on how to remove and/or insert new and old batteries, once the Ecto-1 is complete? Especially since the car will be quite heavy and turning it on its side or upside down could cause damage.

[@WorldofWayneUK]

It's actually quite simple. Push it to the end of a table so the back overhangs. Get on your knees and you will have access to the battery box without having to turn it over.

[@ScytherDracon]

@@WorldofWayneUK Thank You, That is a great idea.

[@PeteJCooper]

You can put in a euro link now as well

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep. These are the only links I was given at the moment

[@bobbybates2614]

Wayne any live stream to night

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep. I'll post the link soon

[@linkmasters535]

Yeah I know that you already answer this question but how wide and how tall is the ecto1 I know that I can’t afford the top acrylic sheet cover for the top to go over the ecto1 so I think that it’s cheaper to make the plexiglass top case cover myself

[@WorldofWayneUK]

The details of the model/collection are as follows: •1/8 scale - 31½ inches/80cm in length - 9.9 inches/25cm in width Not sure on height

[@robertgripton4499]

I may be wrong but from the pictures the case might need to be 30cm to 40cm because of the radio aireale.

[@linkmasters535]

@@robertgripton4499 you mean 30 to 40 centimeters tall

[@eddywells5689]

Getting there finally great vid have you seen the advanced ent d pics? 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍💞💞🙏🙏

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep

[@milanondrak5564]

Uneven panel gaps, that's nothing to worry about, it's a Cadillac, uneven panel gaps are normal for Cadillacs.

[@davidspencer8373]

Like video

[@christianschwarz6254]

I would have wished for such hinges in the dodge charger. 😢

[@MegaNico1970]

hey hello Wayne. i had heard from steve 131 that i had to send an imail to u. it was about buying a t-shirt.?

[@thunderrobots1980s]

i bet if you put the body on the car that alignment issue will go away

[@WorldofWayneUK]

Yep. It's only about 1mm out so its hardly noticeable

[@julianmhall]

Your OCD is playing up again with the swage lines - apparently the name for the gaps between moving parts like the bonnet or doors.

[@f3nderbender614]

Heads up to my friends in the US, if you're unhappy with eaglemoss threaten to cancel. They will give you a 20% discount on your future shipments so instead of 50 bucks a month you will only have to pay 40. They'll also offer to group your shipments in larger quantities too if you want. Definitely threaten to cancel, it comes with perks.

[@tonysteeleebw01]

First time hearing about the cancellation. I'm a year into the build and I would be very upset that I wasted money on this build.

[@f3nderbender614]

Yeah I was a year into it myself but I refuse to waste money on a company that doesn't send you your boxes for months then when questioned about it they have no reasoning for why you're not getting them. Google the company, they have so BBB complaints it's a wonder they're still in business. I may have wasted money but I'm no longer wasting anymore on those dirtbags
