    Jun 12, 2012 - Client Eight Window Seaview Build Up #1
    I have the pleasure of doing a build-up for a client of the new Moebius Eight Window Seaview.

    This is a static build, no lights,per the client with a medium Gray for the upper hull and White for the lower hull, keel, etc..It's what the client wants.

    As I take great pride in all my work, I am building this(as alll my work), as if it were for me.

    Ok, ........The client requested the Limber holes be opened up..Which I have done, then I attached the bow to the stern.

    Currently I am removing all seam lines from the hull and will post more Pix when I have something of interest to show.

    UPDATE!

    The final medium Grey has been mixed and airbrushed to the upper hull.
    I have eliminated all the seam lines on the upper and lower hull, and have installed the completed Observation Nose.

    I have also filled in the holes for the kit supplied stand(per the client).

    Captain,

    good job on the limber holes and seam lines. In your most recent photos, I can really see the sharpness of the limber holes and the smoothness of the now invisible seam lines. As a kid, I completely ignored seam lines and all my Aurora/Monogram Universal monsters had gaps big enough to put a movie script through.

    Barry.
