Dave sent me a few photos of the new test shots he's working on. I thought I'd post a pic for all of you to drool over. These are going to be fantastic kits! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Very Bright and shiny. I love 'em.

Big figures kind of intimidate/challenge me...But those two (along with the Mummy) I'm gonna tackle.

Steve

AWESOME! And thanks!

Both just look spectacular. Can't wait to see the goblin on his glider finished. Spidey's perch is beautiful. Love how both are posed too.

Nice job on the painting too Dave. I'm interested to see how you tackle spidey's uniform web lines though (got a plan?). ;)

g.

I think a dark wash should bring the web pattern out and if I hold my mouth just right that should work without darkening the red too much....

dave

If the wash doen't fill the recesses. Try an .005 art pen I use 'em to fill in door panel lines and hatches on aircraft/slotcars...etc.

Steve

Pens work good, also those old ink diping pens where you could control the amount dispensed with that little wheel on the side might be cool for things like this.

I think the wash is a good idea, but I may want darker lines for mine. Since I've yet to restore my AURORA spidey (bought almost 2 years ago), I've never had to tackle these lines (probably why I put it off). Tips from others would be appreciated. :thumbsup:

g.

I'm going to try Clear Smoke (acrylic) on a totally cured red enamil and gently rub off the excess with a damp Q-tip or damp cloth...wish me luck...because I can't buy firecrackers anymore:freak:
Mcdee

Why not try a red based/ black acryilic wash? that way if it all goes south you just wipe it off?

Steve

i dont like the spiderman pose.
it seems very passive compared to the GG pose!

anybody else feel the same way?

i'll still get em both..........

That's the classic "pensive "pose....he's watching over the city...

Not really, he's cool! Keep in mind that he sets this way alot! Waiting on top of the skyline looking for whack jobs in costumes! It's a very iconic pose for him.. shooting some webs maybe might of worked? (but too AURORA really)..

Good tip Steve...I might just try both and see which works best, the reason I'd try the Clear smoke is it is barely visible on flat surfaces but once in a crevice it blackens right up...I've noticed this effect on stonework like in a dungeon...but whatever works best, I'll try...BTW I love both of the poses :thumbsup:

My Aurora Spiderman's been built since '06 but I'm yet to finish it off 'cause of the web pattern!:drunk: Every time I try to do it I wreck it and have to paint him again! I got new glasses about 3 months ago so I might try to finish him off...
I like the Moebius Spidey. I think it's a good pose.

Chris.:)

McDee: I like the smoke idea too,I have an old Tamiya Zero that needs a little love..I'll try it tomorrow (IJN navy grey) I think the smoke effect would bring her back alive...thanks. I never heard of that before.

Steve

Both are great looking kits. The Spidey is a bit passive, I agree JohnG, but still ok to me. After the action posed kits from Toy Biz and the availability of the original pose, I kind of like it. As for painting the webs. I will try black as a primer and dry brush the blue and red. This should leave most of the lines visible. Then, after dull coating, I will touch up the lines with a fine brush and watered down black paint. Because of the dull coat, I shoud be able to wipe off the excess. That's the plan, I will let you see how it works!!

Yeah it's made by Tamiya, Clear Smoke and they've got Clear Red, Yellow.Green, and blue...there may be more???
Great stuff :thumbsup:
Mcdee

Once the webbing/eye-liner is added and a good weathering job is done on the gargoyle/building Spidey will look quite dynamic. Nice styrene kits - both of them. :thumbsup:

i did a couple of spideys years ago. the easy way to do the web is simply to use a technical pen. you simply place the tip into the groove of the web and let that guide the pen. it makes a formerly nightmare job easy.

Thanks for the tip Razorwyre.:) I'll buy one and dig my Spiderman out of storage. It might get finished yet..

Chris.:)

Two more great kits to look forward to! :woohoo:

Nice! Very, very nice. I can't wait to get my grubby little mitts on 'em!

I can already see some assembly and painting challenges. Like the green parts of the Goblin's costume, for instance. Getting rid of the seams is going to be a pain. But hey, if it wasn't challenging, it wouldn't be worth doing, right?

Anyway, my hat's off to Moebius for 2 more home runs!

P.S. - I was right. This photo is waaaaaaaaay better than the one in AFM!!!

Web pattern isn't dificult, takes a steady hand and patience ,Key is to control your breathing. Spiderman graces one wall near a picture frame held up by double-stick foam tape. Sorry for the crappy pics.

Anyone know the scale or dimensions of these kits? Can't wait, great kits adn poses. I'll get a few...that Spidey will also make a great roof top Batman conversion!

For my PL Spidey, I used a fine-tipped permanent marker. Worked perfectly!

It also worked great on the Toy Biz Thing kit.

Not sure these are gonna be 'big' unless they're in the 1:6 range, I have the horizon Spidey which in my book is still the best posed and dynamic Spidey kit produced (commercially)

Looks like he's trying to spook a trick or treater, to me. Dynamic, yes. Best posed??? er...

Both look great to me and I really like Spidey's pose on top of that gargoyle:thumbsup:

i dont like the spiderman pose.

Not all figure kits have to be in karate kicking poses to look good or dynamic. As Steve123 says, it's the classic Spiderman pose as if he's watching over the city.

I am so looking forward to these.

Cool! :cool:

RK

Great.In 1/8th scale,right?Certainly hope that the Rhino,Electro,Mysterio and Scorpion kits will follow.These are nice,but have been done by Horizon and other kit manufacturers before.:thumbsup:

But don't forget this is the first time the Goblin has been done in styrene and the Moebius Spiderman is a totally different pose than the Toybiz and Aurora ones (and you get a stone gargoyle's head)..

Looking forward to both kits... but the Goblin looks a bit puggy to me. :freak:

I'm itchin to see some more pics!

Looking forward to these, too. I can't wait to see the finished built-ups. There have been a lot of super hero kits produced, but not nearly enough villians to go with them. The Green Goblin is awesome!

Both kits look great, I plan on getting them both but I'm going to have to get an extra Spider-Man for that Gargoyle head to pose a certain "cape and cowl" hero to watch over his own city.

These kits and all the kits Moebius is coming out with... are making this era in modeling truely a Golden one :thumbsup:

According to the Moebius website Spidey was originally set for April and GG for May, has anyone heard what the time frame may be now? I looked through a bunch of threads and all over the Moebius site and didn't come across any updates.

Probably more like July for both - more definite date will be available later

Dave

Thanks Dave.

Well I'm not too big on the superhero kits, but these look very nice so far. Ah hell I know I will pick them up anyways :freak:

DaveJust in time for my birthday! :thumbsup:

For detailing recesses and panel lines, I've had good luck sealing the base coat first, then brushing on some watercolor paint (the tube type not the dry tray type) with a drop of dish soap in it. Then when it dries, going back over the raised areas with a slightly damp cloth wrapped around my finger tip to remove the excess from the raised surface. It leaves a nice crisp line in the groove or panel line. You can easily control how much you take off the raised areas if you make sure to seal it first. Krylon crystal clear works well and I seal it all after the rubdown is dry.

Dave,

You da' man and have been da' man for quite a long time! :dude:

Thanks soo much for posting these pics! :thumbsup:

I will definately be getting both of these kits.

Does the GG have a base? If so, can you describe what it looks like? I think I read that he was on his glider? Is this true? I haven't read the AFM article...

MMM

Goblin is on the glider...the base is the same as Spider Man and the glider fits on a clear rod so he's flying over the Eagle head...
The two bases can be built so that the angle of the wall is reversed on the Goblin kit and the two can be displayed together with the wals formiing the corner of a biulding between the two figures...
