For Moebius, I'm wondering if, for a large FS-1 kit, you might include that
ugly landing gear? Not a fan of it but would like to see it produced.
The only problem I can see is how you could fit the tail hook in there too!
I'm hoping for a kit in about 1/24 scale with Nelson and Crane figures
and two extra chairs/crew figures.

Or 1/32 so it fits on normal peoples' shelves. :)

"Normal people"? In THIS place????? :woohoo:

We are not normal People, we are Modelers !

Let Your Imagination Soar

I noticed that at HOME DEPOT and at LOWES they SELL SHELVES!!!!


BIG WIDE ONES TOO!

I feel pretty normal, no matter what people tell me.

1/32 FS-1 for this model freak!

Or 1/32 so it fits on normal peoples' shelves. :)

Well, I'm not "normal" but now that I think about it...1/32 would be fine!
About the size of the Lunar kit, no?:dude:

Yes, that's where I bought my 12" wide shelves.

/me is always in need of new shelves.. just wish there was a place to get some at better prices...

Let's be a bit practical for a moment. Moebius has a far better chance of surviving (and thus offering us more kits in the future) if they can appeal to the hard core sci-fi nerds (us) as well as a few of the more casual model builders who see a kit, think about their (misspent) youth and take the plunge (them). And producing a ginormous kit, that costs a bundle, while appealing to some of us nerds, will probably turn of a few of 'them' (or more specifically, their spouses).

So, I'd gladly forgo a 24" or 36" FS in favor of a 12" or 15" kit if it makes the thing more saleable. I have very few concerns about their quality, so I'd like to see their line expand.

Melamine?

Ill will keep it reasonable Flying Sub in 1/35 along with the spindrift in 1/35 for me please!

Melamine?

It's a type of formica product usually much thinner than standard laminates found on kitchen benches and similar. Which makes it a bit more economical to use. Over here it is mostly sold overlayed on a 16mm or 5/8's on an inch base of chip board / partical board and is usually a white satin/velvet finish. It's pretty much used in makining shelving and cupboard applications in building/construction over here.

Hmmm might have to look for it then.. I don;t need high quality wood for simple shelves.

A 1/24 FS would be about 17" x 17". Not so very big.
The problem with modeling is that there aren't any casual modelers any more, just us. There aren't even a whole lot of hobby shops left any more, either. Might as well cater to the hard core.
