Ghostbreakers Ghostmobile

The Ghostbreakers from New York as presented in the N.O.W. supplement, Spirits of Manhattan use a disused Range Rover Popemobile as their Ghostmobile. Of course, if you're running your own franchise, rather than using the core team from the supplement you can use any vehicle that has a large enough capacity to carry your average evil nasty plus four man team, such as a transit van, pick-up, SUV, ambulance, hearse or camper van. As part of the franchise deal you will be supplied with the necessary anti-plasm plating that can be used to set up a containment area that keeps the spooks corporeal, just like the original Ghostmobile.

I don't know of any company who makes a 28-32mm Popemobile, However, Crooked Dice Games do make an excellent vehicle for their Paranormal Exterminators, which they have named PX1. Note that I have painted the official Ghostbreakers logo on the bonnet/hood of the vehicle, and yes, that was painted freehand. I'm very happy with the outcome. 😊

It is clearly based on the ECTO-1 Ghostmobile from the Ghostbusters series of films but fits in perfectly for this alternative version of the setting.

I have only just noticed that I haven't painted the registration plate yet. Oops! I'll rectify that as soon as possible. I'll probably stick with the CDG name and call it PX-1.

My 28mm scale figure of Vampifan has been included to give you a sense of scale. It is quite a long vehicle.

The vehicle is cast in resin, as are the equipment rack on the roof, the flashing roof lights and the wing mirrors, which are incredibly brittle. I replaced mine with a small piece of thin card stuck atop a short length of a paper clip. The wheels are made of metal.

The model costs £20.00 from the Crooked Dice Games webstore. I plan on using mine as a replacement for the team's Popemobile. It is a great model.
