Greeting all!

This is my first post, and thought I'd add some pics of my latest completed project.

My background is primarly in figure modeling, and I love Sci-Fi modeling as well, especially anything relating to the late, great, Irwin Allen!

I'm a HUGE IA fan, and have been following most of the related threads here for a couple of years.

This is of course is the 1/32 Moebius Flying Sub, and I must say was an absolute blast to build!

It is airbrushed in Tamiya acrylics, a mix of flat yellow + red + hull red, for the shading, I added more "hull red" for the highlites, white, was added to the base mix. The blue areas are Vallejo "air" acrylics, and is sealed with Model Master lacquer "semi" (my own mix) of flat + gloss roughly 75% flat + 25% gloss.

The figures are slightly converted Crows Nest miniatures, painted in Vallejo acrylics.

The lighting is from VooDoo FX, and I did not glue the docking ring on top, so viewing the interior was easier.

I can't say enough good things about all the great new IA related Moebius kits that are coming out, and I also anxiously await the new 18" Jupiter 2.

That looks great Lars, I love the shading on the interior. Nice to see you painted the hexagonal strip on the underside of the floor hatch...something I missed and can't do now as I've already painted the floor.

Hello Everyone, Thank you so much for all the nice comments, I really appreciate it!


Mark: on the figures, the heads are Hornet models resin heads from England, and the hands are replaced as well. I re-positioned the new heads a little, other than that, they are pretty much the way they came.

Paul: Thanks so much! I appreciate it!

Fernando: I appreciate it, thanks!

I'll go as far as to say this is one of the best FS-1 builds I've seen. Are you planning to use the stand, or do you have something else in mind?

 

[Lars Liljeblad]

Hi Ron,
Thanks so much for the compliment! I have it displayed on a raised black velvet base at the moment, I like the way the FS-1 looks sitting on its belly...the stand that comes with the kit is quite nice though...thanks again!

Marvelous job, Lars! The interior almost looks like a set from the TV series.
