Cool Hand

Looks gangsta with those wheels.

Done well Joakim. Nice colour. Looks good rolling on the old school Techno Racing TV-R wheels. Sometimes the easy quick builds are most enjoyable.

Moebius came through and sent a grill for the Mercury which arrived today.

Cool and my favourite colour. Thanks for sharing. So the 1:1 does stance up high too, its not just oob kit stance.

Just a shout out to say thanks to the guys at Moebius. I purchased the Mercury Cyclone Comet and the kit was missing the grill. Went through the customer service contact on the Moebius Models website and Erik sent me out the part.

Liking the idea so far. Another build thread to learn whats possible. What engine are you going with ?? Have a similar idea for one my Gasser kits, but going build it Aussie burnout car style.

Got this kit back out and worked on setting the stance. Oob ride height and kit supplied wheels. Yeah nah, not going to be riding that high. Put on the wheels I want to use and worked out it needed to be lowered about 10mm. After alot of messing about, got the stance roughed in to where im happy with it. Could have slammed it and went curbside, but I want to have an engine. So had to settle with how it sits, which is way better than stock oob ride height.

Nova's have arrived, going to clear the bench and build the Gasser.

Good to see something different. I like it. Great job all round, interior definitely got the VIP look with all the wood grain, and done well with air set up in the trunk.

Good to see someone finally doing a build thread with the Gasser kit. Glad you are first up and showing the way and seeing the direction and style its going to be a very interesting build to follow and learn from.

Well im going to admit defeat and say my build will not be completed by the end date. Was a great idea for a community build and enjoyed what I achieved.

Looks to be a beast of an engine, what is it ?? Can you show some pic's of just the engine.

I just thought someone would be itching to be the first to post a build thread. But yeah in time there will be every man and his dog building and posting them. Im really looking foward to building the Gasser and im not even interested in Gasser's LOL! Ha, think of how much it cost me for 2 of each shipped to Australia. Same got an email yesterday, you are fortunate to live in the US and wont be long until you have it your hands. Im not even sure if mine will make it out of the US with all the suspensions and then if it does will have the issue of shipping delays due to flights etc. ugh!

Z axis limitation.

So if the kits are available in the US, where are the build threads ??? anyone ???

Wouldnt have a clue, but can it be split in slicing software.

LOL! yeah doing another colour for a change. Im replicating and updating an old build. It can be found here.

Incredible talent being showcased with the use of the 3D technology, going to be very interesting to see all your future projects and how you incorporate the tech.

Perhaps a comment that is actually referring to the topic would be more useful than unneeded commentary.

Very impressive how quick you build.

So finally managed to stop being distracted with other kits and get back to this build. Ended up having to strip the cab, bonnet/hood and bed. Also had to order more paint, get surfacer applied ,wet sand and painted again. Paint has some very fine orange peel, so will try use Tamiya compounds to sort that out.

Yeah same, want to get the build completed by the end date.

Methylated Spirits is another alternative for removing water based and alcohol based acrylic paints. Really!! I find very simple to identify what formulation a paint is by the labelling. No need for the semantics. OP has found the solution

Good to see you back at the bench Eric and WOW! that paint work is awesome. Look forward to seeing the wheels under it.
