Chuck Most Posted February 19, 2018 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
donb Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Very nice Chuck. Great color combo and the gold wheels really set it off. Nice!
cobraman Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 I agree. Good looking car with a great color. Well done.
TooOld Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Number eighteen is looking mighty fine ! Beautiful job !
landman Posted February 19, 2018 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.

Dave Van Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 WOW! I got to help out on those kits....all that foil work is not easy!!!!
Foxer Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 That's awfully smooth, Chuck. Stock lead sled .. I do like it.
Mercuryman54 Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Chuck, I likey!! Excellent build. Like the others said pics of the Hornet's nest would be nice!! Dennis
damodelguy az Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 very sharp, some of you guys really have foil down to and art, so clean. very nice build
espo Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 Very sleek looking build. I like the engine mods.
Chuck Most Posted February 22, 2018 Author 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.
FredRPG Posted February 22, 2018 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?)

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
RAMBENNA Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 excellent job , looks awesome. great color combo
#1 model citizen Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Very nice! I bet changing the rear wheels is a challenge!
geetee66 Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Wow! that's made me want to buy one of these kits. I'm a sucker for Lowriders and this is just perfect.
