So I've stolen another person's idea. Over at The Miniatures Page, someone was asking about Ghostbusters miniatures. One of the responses pointed toward the minis illustrated here; These nice figs are made by Heresy, a small operation that produces some excellent minis. You can find the company here: http://www.heresyminiatures.com/ (I'm sure Andy will appreciate your business! :)
These minis aren't matches for the movie characters, but they are close enough, so I ordered a set. Plus there is a woman who can stand in as a Janine figure. Really, the only thing they'll need are proton packs. The packs should be a fun exercise in scratchbuilding on a small scale. Once the figures arrive, I'll start mapping out the packs and finding some bits to begin the build. I'll also build a few ghost traps, convert one of the figure's datapads into a PKE meter and add ecto-goggles to a figure. This is the plan, anyway. In the meantime, I'll probably be rigging some 1/1200 scale napoleonic ships. We'll see how this goes with the two projects going at once.
In the meantime, I've written up some rules to play the figures in a game. The rules are a simple rewrite of Tusk (so I can't share them with you unfortunately.) But I'm sure, if any of you decide to go the same Ghostbusters route I'm taking, you'll find your own favorite ruleset to adapt.
