Chuck Most Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Not much to say about the 18th Moebius Hornet I've finished. I did it as a lowrider with some suspension mods and a rolling stock transplant from Revell's custom Coupe Deville lowrider kit. Under the hood I used a finned cylinder head from Morgan Automotive Detail, as well as some carbs and air cleaners from a Revell '29 Model A Roadster. Maybe later I'll add a visor and a swamp cooler AC unit. We'll see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Eye candy Chuck. Ever thought of doing a Hornet group photo? 18 might be dicey but I'm sure it can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Very sleek looking build. I like the engine mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thanks guys. Paint is the purple and white from the Testors One Coat line. I should have used more than one coat of the white on the roof- I got some ghosting... And Dave, yeah- the foil work is the one thing I don't like about these- particularly the window surrounds. But it's a necessary evil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredRPG Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 When I saw your name on the post I was ready to see some rust, way to fake me out.. Really clean build, very nice. (At least one of the Hornets is rusty though, right?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really clean build, very nice. (At least one of the Hornets is rusty though, right?) More like at least 14 of them. I haven't actually counted which ones are clean and which ones are rusty, but they're all here- (except for this one anyway)- http://chuckmost.wixsite.com/madhouse-miniatures/single-post/2018/02/18/The-Hornets-Nest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
