Google as well as YouTube videos or the DVD didn't yield any results so I figured I'll try it here.
Does anyone happen to have a good side shot of the Ecto-1? Straight from the (preferably) right side, no distortion of perspective, in decent quality. I'm particularily interested in the roof parts. Can be of the actual movie car, a model, anything as long as it's a close to the real deal as possible. Thanks!

Thanks. the above pic in particular was helpful.

Just finished the pic I needed the reference pics for, what's everyone's opinion? Is it accurate enough?

I think it's beautiful. Any chance of having the other side done, too?
For nit-pickers, it looks like the Propelloray and siren are switched, the radome should be on a platform instead of being projected, and widows should be tinted with the cutout.

But I'm not complaining. What is it going to be used for?

Thanks for the feedback. I MIGHT be doing the other side as there generally seem to be more pics of the left side available, but only after the whole project is done.
It's one of a series of 'Microhero' versions of legendary movie and TV cars.

If I'm not mistaken, this is Loren's (69428scj) car.

The curvature of the roof is incorrect.

The space between the roof and the rack is incorrect.

The angle of the rear fin is too shallow.

To name a few.

Why not use the picture I posted as reference?

I was mostly done with the pic when I requested reference pics for the roof parts. Also, the car itself is based on an original 1959 MM blueprint.
