Now this is my idea of what a Monster Model should be all about...what did I count 20 beakers !...20 books ! partial invisible rat trying to escape...skull bookcase table full of goodies ...the Invisible Mans' glove with no visible means of support is Genius.!!! the entire sculpt blows my mind...I want to build this during a thunderstorm:thumbsup: Congratulations Moebius this kit is already a winner!:woohoo:

Of course,when you will probably add chimicals in those transparent containers,the diorama scene will look even more alive.Scratchbuilding a whole room around the Invisible Man in order to make him look even better is probably an idea that will cross many modelers minds.This kit being such a classic,and very well made by Moebius,will most likely sell very well.:thumbsup:

His floating hand needs to be more centered over his sleeve. The way his hand is currently postioned it looks like it's broken at the wrist.

There is too much dead space. the figure should be moved to the center with the table in front of him.

The face itself is a great expression. Body pose is very dramatic. Nice details on the equipment. Things just have to be moved to increase the drama.

The rat climbing out of the case is an excellent touch, and successfully captures the feel of the story (although in the novel it was a cat).
I can almost hear poor Griffin shouting, "WHAT HAVE I DONE???? WHAT HAVE I DONE????"
This will also make a very nice companion piece to Dr. Jekyll as Mr. Hyde!
Another winner from Moebius!!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I have an odd comment about the floor... the boards should be parallel to a wall so unless the book case is just stuck out in the middle of the room at an odd angle... the floor is off. I know for aesthetics/visual interest things were angled to avoid a neat, squared off look.... but thats how it should be. I ran into this problem trying to rearrange the furniture and add the resin book case expansion to the Dr. Jekyll kit... I wanted the case squared with the boards on the floor but then you couldn't use some of the width of the base the way the figure, table and stool required.

What if it's an oddly shaped or polygonal room? Then the floor isn't off. ;) :)

Very observant BT. Should the bandage be lengthened or the arm angle changed? :rolleyes:

Thanks for the positive comments as well as critique.
This is the first that I've seen the kit built up and painted as well - what a blast!
As I mentioned in a previous post, many items are not pegged, so that while position is suggested, its entirely up to the builder where to put things.
As far as the floor goes, here's a quote from the hardwoodfloorinstaller website:
Older homes with thicker solid plank flooring were installed on a diagonal...
here's a pic...

BTW, if you look closely at the transparent rats you'll notice that inside they have tiny little rat internal organs!

Frank, Dave and Chris,

Excellent job, gentlemen. Another fantasic looking kit added to the Moebius line up. A long overdue addition to the monster kits that have gone before.

You do know that you're spoiling us....don't stop!

This is the first test shot. There are some adjustments to be made including an adjustment to the length of one of the bandage parts to move the hand over the sleeve better.
There are no locator pins on most of the glass ware the books, skull, shelf the table or the figure.......you can arrange almost everything the way you like it

Chris you are 100% right about the flooring in older homes..(I've been a Carpenter for 35 years) and in the past it was the norm to install the lumber on the diagonal ...after WWII when suburbia came into being and many homes were being built... hardwood floors were installed on the square because they're easier and faster to install that way...Lately though (for the past 15-20 years) all the hardwood floors I've installed,( and I've seen installed)have gone back to a diagonal pattern...(IMHO it actually makes the room appear larger) and the diagonal pattern hides a multitude of sins when it comes to square :p

This looks to be another great seller Frank. This is an excellent looking buildup Dave. I am glad to see your design finally make it to the molds Chris. Now we must get the War of the Worlds diorama Chris designed in the works- since Moeibus seems to be on a roll!! Good luck guys- keep them coming.

Hmmm... I don't know what could be causing that other than, possibly, a windows setting. Are you still using Internet Explorer 6? If so, upgrade to 7. You'll be glad you did.
