View Full Version : Invisible Man Test Shot! kit-junkie 05-30-2008, 07:11 PM Dave's Invisible Man build. (http://moebiusmodels.com/dm-Invisible/) mcdougall 05-30-2008, 07:17 PM OH MY GOD :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :thumbsup::thumbsup:: thumbsup: Mcdee Duck Fink 05-30-2008, 07:57 PM WOW...look at all of those neat little tid-bits! Looks GREAT! mcdougall 05-30-2008, 08:18 PM 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: Mcdee Roy Kirchoff 05-30-2008, 09:19 PM Thanks for posting the link k-j. Man, that kit kicks butt. :eek: :thumbsup: RK BronzeGiant 05-30-2008, 09:31 PM THAT is the kind of kit we have been waiting for all of these years while we were building and re-building all of our old Aurora Monster kits. Simply.....WOW!! MonsterModelMan 05-30-2008, 09:32 PM YOWSA!!! Great job you did on the test shot Dave! And Chris...this must really make you feel good too seeing your concept drawing come to life...so to speak! Moebius...you guys really ROCK!!! Can't wait to get my hands on this kit! MMM kit-junkie 05-30-2008, 09:42 PM Yeah, I can't wait to get my greedy little mitts on a couple of these. What a cool kit! xsavoie 05-30-2008, 10:58 PM 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: falcondesigns 05-30-2008, 11:10 PM A winner.........again!alexander SUNGOD 05-30-2008, 11:24 PM Wow, looks fantastic and look at that detail on the book case too!:thumbsup: BatToys 05-31-2008, 03:02 AM 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. Auroranut 05-31-2008, 03:27 AM What can I say? THANK YOU MOEBIUS!!! Absolutely awesome!! Very nicely built Dave.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Chris.:) otto 05-31-2008, 08:44 AM My oh my....datsa mighty fine kit. Should be a smashing sucess! HARRY 05-31-2008, 09:41 AM Great and I mean GREAT looking kit!Wonderful job Chris.Thanks for bringing it to us Frank.:thumbsup: Seaview 05-31-2008, 10:30 AM 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: Night-Owl 05-31-2008, 02:31 PM Chris: cool kit design! Dave: Cool paint job! Frank: cool kit! Really looking forward to this one! djnick66 05-31-2008, 03:56 PM 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. kit-junkie 05-31-2008, 04:31 PM What if it's an oddly shaped or polygonal room? Then the floor isn't off. ;) :) Roy Kirchoff 05-31-2008, 04:37 PM 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. Very observant BT. Should the bandage be lengthened or the arm angle changed? :rolleyes: rk ChrisW 05-31-2008, 05:51 PM 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... http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm131/ChrisWhiteStudio/old-plank-subfloor.jpg BTW, if you look closely at the transparent rats you'll notice that inside they have tiny little rat internal organs! Capt. Krik 05-31-2008, 07:42 PM 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! Dave Metzner 05-31-2008, 07:45 PM 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 Dave mcdougall 05-31-2008, 08:15 PM Well I just ordered the first3 of the six I plan on buying:thumbsup: ...It's gonna look so Boss with the Box Art behind this kit...any thoughts on selling signed prints of the Box Art? Mcdee frankenstyrene 05-31-2008, 09:18 PM The best monster kit ever; at least definitely in the top few. Can't wait to get my two. Thanks, guys! Rebel Rocker 06-01-2008, 12:15 AM Congrats to ALL involved with bringing this kit to us!! Can't wait to get it!! Wayne AJ-1701 06-01-2008, 08:29 AM Flaming heck!!! I'm not big on moster kits but I tell you... I might just be getting that one. You can almost see wells narrative being displayed. :thumbsup: mcdougall 06-01-2008, 10:45 AM 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 Mcdee PS man I love those Rats trying to escape! deadmanincfan 06-01-2008, 03:33 PM HOLY CROW! I GOTSA GET ME ONE'A DEM!!!:woohoo: cribb 06-01-2008, 07:21 PM This one made me pause lurking for a moment - and say - WOW! beck 06-01-2008, 11:47 PM thanks for the pics !! that is looking great guys . :thumbsup: hb irocer 06-02-2008, 10:54 AM 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. Dave Hussey 06-02-2008, 12:24 PM The pics won't display for me. Oh the pain! Huzz kit-junkie 06-02-2008, 01:47 PM You need to upgrade your Flash Player, Dave. Download Flash Player (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adobe.com%2Fshockwave%2Fdownl oad%2Fdownload.cgi%3FP1_Prod_Version%3DShockwaveFl ash&ei=8DFESLv-GajiiAHMu5CaAw&usg=AFQjCNFUOdRQj7ZWP0sZUFAi9wiEJAilDw&sig2=dg-NEr0w6sNocUo8QYxBwA) Dave Hussey 06-02-2008, 03:12 PM For some reason it won't install. Fairly new PC, running XP. ????????????? Huzz kit-junkie 06-02-2008, 05:49 PM 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. Jafo 06-03-2008, 11:22 AM sweet Dave Hussey 06-03-2008, 02:23 PM I checked on the new laptop and I can see them. Look great!!! By the way, if that little Mac twerp is here, my new laptop is a Sony running Vista and it works just fine, thank you! Huzz Jimmy B 06-03-2008, 02:34 PM I'll take a dozen - flaws and all. Great work Dave! KJ - thanks for posting kit-junkie 06-03-2008, 04:06 PM You're very welcome! mrmurph 06-03-2008, 05:21 PM What a terrific looking kit!
