I’m thinking I might add some details, with styrene, to make it look more like a garage-made armored truck. I probably shouldn’t experiment, considering I’m a newbie and I selected a difficult kit, but it’s about having fun and learning. The arrows are pointing at where the additions will be added. I’m looking at tutorials on how to add weld-lines, as seen on some armored vehicles. Let’s see if I can pull this off. To be continued…

I sure will. Thank you very much.

I’m new to building these kits. I have only built one 1/12 scale motorcycle, which was simple. I typically collect die-cast, but decided to get into building these kits and dioramas, now that I have more time for the hobby.

My first Truck Tractor Kit. I bought it at 50% off. I don’t know much about these kits, but as many reviews showed, it has lots of issues. Lots of flashing to clean, which is horrible to do on small pieces. I’m going to build it and make some modifications (whatever pops in my head as I go), and practice some techniques I have learned recently. I’ve started this hobby a while back (on and off), so consider myself a newbie. Stay tuned for more updates as I build the kit and also the diorama.

Thank you.

I’m still trying to figure it out. The cables keep coming off. I’m might just replace them with wires, drill and slide them in with glue.
-
Thank you. It’s was a little challenging figuring out a few things. But practice makes perfect.

More weathering done. A few more details. My first kit I painted and assembled. I love that you can paint the parts individually and have so much more details than the diecast pre made kits. Lots of mistakes I learned from. But, lots of fun.
-
Trying out some weathering colors. Not blended yet, just starting to apply them. We’ll see if I can make this mess look a little better. Also, trying to figure out how to make the seat look less like plastic and a little more natural.
-
Thank you. It’s been a little difficult, but my wife just got me a set of magnifying modeling glasses so I can see the details better. Maybe my next model will be more detailed.
-
Added some rust pigment to the break disks, a wash of light rust acrylic paint (just a wash) and dusted lightly with metal.

Thank you.

This is the first 1/12 motorcycle kit I put together. My previous diorama was a Maisto motorcycle already built. This one is a little over due to all the tiny pieces to put together, but getting a hang of it. This particular model I wanted to take a risk and modify it to look like a bobber. Still work in progress.

I’m getting a Tamiya Yamaha XV1600 Road Star

Thank you.
