During the build of this 1:8 scale Ghostbusters Ecto-1 partwork model, we will install hundreds of parts and screws. I thought it would be interesting to put a page together that tracked the number of parts and screws supplied in each stage. I have included ‘running totals’ as well.
NOTE: These numbers are for the stock build and do not include tools, spare screws, or any changes because of mods.
