I thought I would start this thread of the Build Up of my Moebius Seaview, so we can share Build Up Techniques and Ideas.
First, let me say a Big Thanks to Frank at Moebius for this Fantastic Kit
Ok, I elected to build her up as what she is, a Replica of the beautifull 17'2" Sub. So I chose the Viewports WITHOUT the framing and the 20 Missle Hatches.
In these first pics, I have drilled out all the limber holes (using a Dremal with a 1/16 drill bit, and putting two to four pilot holes depending on the size of the Limber hole)
I also have started the Sanding/Priming/Sanding...Of the area where the two hull parts meet and the Main Viewport. For this model,Putty is overkill(IMHO), So I used the ol' Gap filling glue and baking soda technique.
It's making the seams dissappear, but I still need to do more.
to build with the interior or not to build with the interior, that is the question?
tis nobler to find out whats the best way to show the interior if that is the plan!

I am building the Interior. In fact I have already started it. With some custom additions of my own.
Wow!It already looks awesome,even unfinished.I think that the Seaview is a great ship to display.Any of you guys will put it in your living rooms when you finish your own.

Actually the color needs to be darkened quite a bit. I am talking to the guys who actually have worked on or seen the effects Miniature. The color is somewhat elusive.
It's NOT the color recommended in the Instructions.
Yes I am going to light It Up with my own Lighting system, and I don't really need the decals.
Regards,
BP
