Great Scott! The DeLorean: Part 1

Posted on by Chewbode

A couple of weeks ago I was catching up on some videos from tested.com, and they had posted a piece from New York Comic Con where they talked to Eaglemoss Collections about an upcoming subscription-based version of the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters.

This model, as well as the fact it was subscription based, was very intriguing to me. I poked around on their site and found they were also selling the DeLorean time machine from the Back to the Future films.

After thinking about it for a couple of days, I decided to get Doc Brown’s amazing invention. Today, the first two issues arrived with some parts. Below are some photos of everything. All told, I spent about an hour unpacking and building the pieces.

Just opened the box.
This booklet outlines the the different features of the model after it’s built.
This fold-out shows the model at actual size.
Issue 1 of the magazine, which illustrated how to build the back bumper assembly, the right rear tail light, and the license plate.
Issue 2 of the magazine, which includes the left tail light and left quarter panel.

Starting the build.
All of the parts from Issues 1 & 2 have been assembled. I included the 6-sided die for reference…
…and my hand, for reference.
