A couple ideas for the Moebius '56 Chrysler

[Chuck Most]

This is the first one I'm thinking I'll try- not an exact replica, but something based on this.

And of course, this-

I'm thinking of something a bit more traditional as well, along these lines...

Here's a stock Windsor Newport-

And maybe something for a diorama, a Chrysler with its engine out-

^^ This one I like a lot.

The peach colored one I saw in person and didn't give it a second look. The color, the dub spokes, the '50s styling...it all seems to clash.

Yeah- the color is the one element of that car I don't pariculary care for. Now... picture that same car done up in the Newport's blue/white scheme.... THAT'S more along the lines of what I'm thinking.

OK... I am IN NO WAY looking to start trouble, to cause any arguments, or to pick on anyone... I know that I too will most likely NOT build this Chrysler as it comes in the box either... But...

The model didn't even hit the shelves yet, and we're already talking about how we want to change it..!!

There is no pleasing us is there...??? (Believe me, as I said, I can't build 'em Stock from the box either...) That's the fun of modeling isn't it?

Well... yeah!

Go to any of the threads in the New Kit Reviews section, and you'll see people saying what they want to do with an upcoming kit. How is anything like this or that coming across as 'not being pleased' with the kit? If I weren't pleased with what I'd seen with regards to the Chrysler kit, I'd have not posted this. Many people might not buy the kit knowing it's factory-stock only, but if you show 'em a few modified examples of what's been done with the 1:1, might get them thinking about getting a few of them. I think we'll see a pretty good assortment of build styles for this Chrysler- from straight out of the box to drastically reworked creations.

And I'm not even going to get into that Sketchpad Jairus did a few months back, which hatched a few more project ideas for me to try on this kit too.
