highway Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 Art, you already have me droolling uncontrollably for the International Lonestar, I already told my local hobby shop he'd better order a case just for me! I'd say just by your description, when the pic do become available, I'd better have the wet/dry vac ready!!
Luc Janssens Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) to eliminate any gaps between parts and such Art Art, are they scanning the parts then, and feed that data into whatever steers the milling machines? Interesting approach, do hope that Dave posts pics. Thx Luc Edited June 7, 2010 by Luc Janssens
charlie8575 Posted June 6, 2010 Posted June 6, 2010 I'll be interested to see how this kit comes out...and how dealing with Chrysler goes, I've been told they're very difficult, although with the new ownership, perhaps not as much. I'll tell you right now, this comes even close to right, almost every H-E-T member around the world will buy one just because. I'm going to see if they want a review done of it for White Triangle News, the club magazine. Charlie Larkin
Harry P. Posted June 7, 2010 Posted June 7, 2010 A Hudson kit has been so long in coming, so asked for, so anticipated, that they have to know that they better get it right... or the wrath of the modeling community will descend on them...
cooltoys1 Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 this thread is USELESS with out a pic! Ill believe it when i see it.
Guest Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 I agree Ken, I'm glad for what info we get. This keeps our imaginations fired up, and keeps us wanting more. Someone of Art's stature in this hobby isn't going to pass along any bogus info.
Dave Metzner Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Here is a link to a photo gallery showing the mock-up of the Moebius Models 1953 Hudson Hornet Club Coupe. This is a mix of photos showing the mock-up at various stages of development. It is currently undergoing one last round of minor revisions. I hope that we can start tooling within the next 10 days - 2 weeks. My link Thanks, Dave
Danno Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Dave, AWESOME! Thank you so much for this kit and thank you for sharing the process with us!
Peter Lombardo Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Impossible to find fault with these pictures. Should be fun.
Dave Metzner Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Release date is end of yearish I think.... Like to have it as soon as I can but don't want to rush it. We're trying to get it as right as we can! Dave Edited July 27, 2010 by Dave Metzner
Blake Rogers Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 love what i see i would love a few of those 300's!!!
Zoom Zoom Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Looks great, thanks for sharing. Don't rush 'em, get 'em right...
Bernard Kron Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Thanx so much for the detailed pictures. The number of discreet parts is amazing and will help the builder to detail out a completed model that will be exceptionally satisfying. I suspect this will be a feature that will attract modelers who might otherwise pass over the subject matter and make this release very successful indeed. I'm sure we'll all agree that we owe you a vote of thanks for creating such a high quality model! Can't wait for its release! Edited July 27, 2010 by gbk1
modelercarl Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Just changed my order to (2) each of these new kits, very impressive!!!! Would like to add my thanks to Dave and Art (and Moebius) for the informational posts on the development of these outstanding looking models.
Eric Stone Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 The Hornet and 300 both look very nice. I hope to have at least one of each on my bench one day.
bobguar Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Wow, sign me up...these kits look great and are going to be well done, they will sell like hotycakes and hopefully more to come!!! Moebius will be a real player with gfreat detail and quality...thanks Dave!
Danno Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I will be doing at least four: 1) Doc Hudson in racing form, 2) Doc Hudson in retirement civvies, 3) a custom, and 4) a replica of my grandfather's '53 Hudson police car. Am I happy? You betcha, but not as happy as I'll be once those four kits are in my greedy, eager little hands.
charlie8575 Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I can guarantee at least a 1000 sales from the Hudson-Essex-Terreplane Club once word gets out. That is absolutely fantastic! I've spent enough time around the real ones to confirm that this is a VERY accurate model. Please show your support and buy one. You won't be sorry. Charlie Larkin
Jim Gibbons Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Another kit I MUST have. It raises the bar on detail. I was impressed by the separate "robe rails" or whatever they're called on the front seat backs. I can feel my wallet lightening already! My brother wants to commission me to build one for his friend that has a 1:1. The H-E-T Club will definitely buy these in bulk.
Nate Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Well darn! Apparently the Smugmug site is blocked by my firewall here at work! Has anyone downloaded the photos to a fotki or photobucket account? Edited July 28, 2010 by Nate
Chuck Kourouklis Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Oh sure as heck, I'll be voting a number of times with my wallet. Just hope enough others do too. MAN, I'd like to see a '48 Tucker done to this standard...
