"HEX MARKS THE SPOT" Built For The 2017 Halloween Group Build

An invitation for modelers to join our Model Shop Google Community Halloween Group Build for 2017. Here I also show some kit's I'm building for the group build this year with the first one, "HEX Marks The Spot" being finished.

[@MGB-learning]

Outstanding build, presentation and video.

[@tomrench698]

Can you post the source for the sound board and lightning kit? Thank you

[@guykoppel4662]

how did you make the lights shine through the plastic lenses of the lantern?

[@pacbman1]

I too am interested in the lightning storm sound effects. Is that commercially available?

[@noahandgabrielsmodels3387]

Can you show and explain the sound boards that you use and how to do ?

[@guykoppel4662]

I would love to do this also (the sounds)

[@raymondblanchard2213]

YES! I did recognize that soundtrack! I was in Disneyland on the ride in 1965. I thought that sounded very familiar. Such a creative build, super job! I just found these models while looking for tall ship models on ebay in December this year, 2020. But, alas, all but the Hex Marks the Spot were still to be found. It was my favorite one that I built in '72, and I played with it until the knife broke 🤣 Maybe I should have wound the rubber band so that it raised the door when activated. I thought that was why his left arm was raised, to push the door open. Super techniques on the build, thanks for showing it.

[@rjburbine]

Hex marks the spot is now available once again. Just got one on Ebay.

[@jamiesale9460]

GREAT paint job - really does it up

[@5200210jim]

[@arctrooperproduction]

[@richardkrotec1440]

[@johnalexander7369]

Last years live broadcast was great. I built that strange change vampire way back when.

[@TheDgrinch69]

So Awesome!

[@Darckstar52]

Awesome!

[@RetroFett]

Amazing build! Did you know this is a re-issue of 1970s MPC Disney branded model, for the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at the Disney theme parks? This model scene recreates the skeleton pirate helmsman scene on the ride (minus the "pop-up pirate"). The special medallion in this kit is modeled after the Disney talking Jolly Roger at the Disneyland version of the ride.

[@erikthepirate8068]

Ahoy, One-Eyed Pete! How are you?

[@ScaleModelKitReview]

Wow, that's a very impressive build Boyd, I really like the effects you put into it.

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks Steve, I'm looking forward to seeing your build of the kit too.

[@AriesStyreneBistro]

hey this will be a fun build and I am honoured you will be building along with us to bring awareness to this awful disease

[@hoochrocks]

Bad ass!

[@2000spqr]

the light'n strikes are the crem'e del ala crem'e.... it just amplifies the subject to a fantastic level!

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks Cal :)

[@Murphy_Peoples]

Pretty sure Grayson is jumping on board this year! : )

[@TrekWorks]

Awesome!

[@chrisdavis4805]

the skeleton in the hatch, his raised arm use to push the lid up in the old kit when you hit the button, he sprang up pushing the hatch open and stabbed the map didn't he?

[@TrekWorks]

It may have worked that way on the original kit but on this one the lid is too heavy for the figure to lift it.

[@punkrockpub]

Love This Video!!! POSITIVELY LOVE "DEAD MAN'S RAFT" ( HEX )!!! You've done a brilliant job on her!!! KUDOS!!!

[@TrekWorks]

Thanks!

[@johnworley8272]

I love how you did this...I have no idea how to do the lightning effects but I love it! That lantern too...maybe if the door were made of balsa wood the skeleton could lift it

[@p.j.c.2.0]

How exactly do I enter my Build Boyd ?

[@TrekWorks]

Just post your building progress pictures on the Model Shop Google plus page.

[@p.j.c.2.0]

OK thanks Boyd .

[@2000spqr]

must be posted in your blood mat'e

[@nauticalshipsandothernerdy3036]

I love pirate ship figure kits if they made a huge ship to go with it only in your dreams LOL

[@ronmac9522]

Last years was awesome. I'm going to enter this year with a scratch build the creepy coup from wacky races. So looking forward to starting.

[@mikerooney3307]

I always wanted the kit as a kid but it was hard to find. It's great that they are bringing them all back.
