I hadn't really mentioned these, as it's another too late to use as intended item. But..... We had a batch of transparent blue 1/350 Seaviews made in hopes of using them for two shows this Summer. Just arrived today with our batch of regular kits. I hadn't posted a picture yet, but they are on the Moebius store site with all other exclusives. Wish I had a picture to post, as it really is a cool look! We don't have many to be honest, as we did them numbered 1-240, and 120 went to Japan instantly. We will have a few marked as "Sample", but I'm not sure how many we'll have after they are sent to everyone that needs them in that capacity. Picture in a day or so...

Moebius SO rocks!

Hey Frank,

I just checked the site and can't seem to find them listed. Where would they be?

http://www.clubmoebius.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=808IPMS is where it currently is, will be moved over to the "Exclusives" page soon. Thanks!

I tried to order one but the state section has no Puerto Rico in it?! alex

Is PR a state now?:) Just drop me a line at my e-mail and I'l make it work for you Alex! Thanks, Frank.

Your the best.............

Trying like heck to get my wife to agree to let me get one!

Got it!

I'll be her slave for the next week but it's worth it.

Wow, what a strange yet beautiful thing...sorry it didn't work out as intended but I think there's gonna be happy people with this!

Hm. Guess one of those guys out there is gonna have to do a full interior now :)

I ordered a couple earlier this evening. Can't wait to get it in. I'm going to really enjoy photographing this! :thumbsup:

If anyone plans on building theirs, might I recommend GS Hypotube cement? They use it for watch crystals and whatnot. Doesn't craze as far as I know and cures crystal clear.

Yeah. That's what I use for tranparent parts. Works great!

Please note on these kits that to get the plastic to flow correct, they are ABS. Not sure if the kit is clear enough for an interior, but maybe!

Good to know! Thanks Frank. The GS Hypo cement should be ok. It's more like a contact cement than a solvent type glue. But definitely need something a bit stronger than the usual styrene glue. Tenax or Plastruct Weldene should work fine.

Tenax or Plastruct Weldene should work fine.

That would haze the pretty plastic. Hmmm, would Tenax haze ABS?

Sorry, me talking out of my butt again.

Carry on.

CA glue fumes would haze the plastic. Coating the plastic with a layer of Future Floor acrylic will help minimize the hazing (and probably increase the transparency of the plastic too). The only thing about the welding type cements is that the pressure applied between the join changes before the solvent is set, then you get a marred join where the partially dissolved ABS pulls away from itself. That's why I think the Hypo cement, or a similar type of glue is the best option for clear parts.

I just ordered mine...be interesting to see just what this looks like.

Thanks Frank and Moebius for offering these to us.

MMM

I have never, not once ordered a kit not knowing what it looks like. But only 140 on the continent was too tantalizing to pass up.

OK, here is the image. It's posted with the kit listing as well now. Thanks again, Frank.

sweet!

So, it is just a limited run of only 240 kits?

There are a lot of other models coming out right now that were higher on my list than the 1/350 Seaview, but this was too cool to pass up. I think I'll paint it with some glow paint to really set it off! ;)

Oh that's too cool! Thanks for the pic Frank! :thumbsup:

I am thinking Night Light!

I ordered mine!:woohoo:

I give it not 1 but :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Are these individualy numbered Frank? If so, and you still have #4, I'll take it, being a number 4 kinda guy.

sweet!

Just 240 numbered. I do have unnumbered, marked as "sample" where the number would have been. There will be about 30 of these left over after samples are distributed. No more kits will be done in this color!

Being that number 4 kind of guy, I am sure I can help!

Very psychedelic looking.I think that when modelers want to recreate a transparent sub,they usually keep the back side ,create the interior,then leave the front side opened.But of course,it's special.I wonder why they just didn't make one in clear transparent styrene.:p

Thanks Frank! I'll order today!

Number 4 will ship to me on Monday! Thanks again Frank for keeping me in mind and holding it back for me! You da man!

They do make non-fogging CA glue... it should say specifically on the bottle. Its made for fixing RC plane windshields. Its not cheap stuff $13 or so for the same size bottle that is $5 in the regular formula

Myself, I have zero interest in all the weird off color models... pink pendulums, blue Seaviews, etc...

Pink pendulums sound bizzare for some reason, yet oddly intriguing....

The blue seaview could be fitted with some flashing LEDS, and put in a diorama with that two globe eyed electrical sea weed monster...

put them right next to the yellow moons and green clovers:hat:

Who's to say they won't?

I mean, it's not like they CAN'T, right?

One thing that's fascinating to me, it exposes some little secrets. Like the bow cries for an aftermarket FS bay and it seems that's been allowed for in the design.

Well done!

There is a PE set with the sub bay and partial interior. Just needs the FS-1.

still waiting by the mailbox. Doesn't help that I'm in East Gish.

[QUOTE=...might I recommend GS Hypotube cement?

Where would one find 'GS Hypotube' cement? As I have a lot of Hypotubes to cement!:D

I know, I know, it's just the delirium from all the new stuff from King Moebius. It is a real question tho.
