I'd better start saving NOW!!! I am going to try for a case of each!!! If not, then a half-case of each. Depends on how much I save... I'm glad to see the mockups, thank you Dave for sharing these with us. this is one of the MANY things I love about Moebuis Models! As I have stated before, these are my all-time favorite vehicle, Car, Truck, Chevy, Ford... regardless, my favorite. There have been over a dozen owned by various family members of my family through the years....

I've done quite a bit of casting in the past years. The one thing I recommend, especially if you're just getting started, is a slower setting resin. This will allow you time to properly mix the resin, pour it in the mold and work out any bubbles that need removing, if you're not using a presssure pot or vacuum chamber. You've never reached the heights of frustration until you are pouring a 1/350 ship hull and the resin starts setting up in mid-pour. I lost the pour and around $75.00 worth of resin... I've used Smooth-On and Alumilite both. I recommend Smooth-On. This is just a personal opinion, gained through valuable experience....

The rule with their products is that if you know what the original part looked like, their replacement will look just like it, just in flawless, unpainted resin. Buy with confidence!

I've built several multi-piece body kits, through the years. To me, no more difficult than one-piece. I don't have any problems with them. I don't see the need for the fuss. Just as with other parts of the kit, work slow, use plenty of tape, fit, trim, fit, repeat.... No worries. I have a couple of Heller kits that are multi-piece bodys. I loved building them!

It lives!!! I am glad to say that I survived the winter... With my physical conditions and problems, winter is very hard on my body and now that spring has graced us with her presence, I feel like doing more than reading and sleeping... I'm just very thankful that the man I'm building this for is a very understanding individual...

I finished painting the hull, today. I used Floquil engine black and boxcar red, Testors MM dark sea blue and medium grey.





Now, paint the screws bronze, touch up the deck, finish the superstructure, build something along the lines of 100+ anti-aircraft guns and finish this beast!
