Theo Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi all. This is my first WIP post so be honest and gentle. I very much enjoyed the building the stock versions of the Moebius Hornet so thought I would give a go at building a "lowrider/kustom" version. Lowered the stance (3d printed modified front spindles), wheels/tires from the parts box, flocked and custom interior, wired engine with fuel lines, and pearl/metallic/purple body. I wanted to take a few images before the details get lost in final assembly. Thanks for looking. Appreciate any comments and feedback.

Chuck Most Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I'll be keeping an eye on this one for sure. I've had a mind to build a Hornet as a lowrider since even before the kits were available, but so far haven't done much other than think about it. Is that yarn used as pleating on the seats? If so, that's something else I've always thought about trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Lowered the stance (3d printed modified front spindles), Oh man. If this is the future of the hobby, I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi ChuckThe solid purple is flocking and the inserts are embroidery floss over double-sided tape. I got the embroidery floss from Hobby Lobby. A bag of 150 strands in many colors for about $10. It is probably enough for 2 life-times worth of builds.Thanks for lookingTheo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
