Wow. That's awesome!

Please keep in mind this photo is blown up about 10 times actual scale. I think the model looks fine in person.

Man, that is really cool. Wish it was a little easier to come by those aussie kits. There are some neat cars available. You did that one nice.

Here's a sneak peak at the test shot I built and the photography I shot for the box art of the upcoming Moebius '52 Hudson Convertible. No release date yet, probably later this year. Update: Here's the final box art for the kit I just completed.

My modified custom Cadillac STS-V fresh off the bench. More pics and all the build details are at the link. http://homepage.mac..../stsv_page.html

Nicely done. I like the period touches.

Awesome work!

That is very nicely done. Great conversion work.

I had this idea for a while and really wanted the '75 Plymouth version, but they are pricey. The Dodges are easier to come by. I recently scored another '77 2 door Dodge in a trade that is gonna get a different treatment.

Just finished this rebuild of an old MPC 2-door '77 Monaco. All the build details and more pics at the link. http://homepage.mac.com/ssven5/Sites/Svensworldofwheels/images/77monaco_page.html

Looks awesome!

Dave Metzner tells me the bumper holes for the license plates will not appear in the production race car kit.

Yes, this is a limited edition kit and if sales of the Tim Flock Hudson was any indication, I wouldn't hesitate in making your order when these become available.

I didn't know about the belt color. Thanks.

Here's the build up I just finished of the test shot for box art photography. I would emphasize that this is still just a test shot and may still get some changes but it's pretty far along. Don't know when the production kit will be available yet, but it's getting closer. Thanks to Dave Van for supplying the prototype decals.

Neat stuff. Nice photography too.

that's really cool!

Very cool!

Neat stuff. Love the Hudsons!

Since there seems to be no real record of the exact color, I think any light blue color you are happy with is probably close enough.

A couple people have PM'd me with this question. Nobody we talked with in our research really knows for sure what color the real car was painted. Our best guess by examining photos was that it was a light gray/blue color and we theorized it was probably raced in a factory color called "southern blue." (At least at the start of the season. It could have been painted a non factory color later in the year). For the box art build I used Testors US navy light blue. It's an acrylic military flat and only comes in a small bottle, but it's the closest hobby paint match to the paint chip samples I had of the factory color called "Southern Blue". I had to thin it and air brush it. The white top is really more of an ivory color. I used Tamiya racing white which is a very light ivory color. That color was shot from a spray can. I then clear coated it all with Testors one coat gloss clear lacquer.

Here's a teaser for you. My '55 300 test shot build is in the final stages of assembly, but before I buttoned it all up I mocked up the body with some Pegasus wheels I had laying on the bench. I think the 300 makes a pretty sweet pro tourer.

It's Testors light blue from their basic spray paint line. The actual color is a little lighter in person then it looks in this photo.

Thank you. By the way, my Hudsons are the models featured on the Moebius box art.

Here's my class of 2011. On tap for completion in 2012 are a '52 Hudson Convertible, '55 Chrysler 300, '77 Dodge Monaco, Cadillac STS-V, BRE-Datsun trio and an '83 IMSA Cavalier.
