so this is how I want the truck look like when it will be finished I have to note here that I wanted to strech the frame rails about 10cm

Hello everybody & happy new year!!! I wish to all the new year to brink tones of plastic and resin KITS. The truck that I will show you is a PETERBILT 359 (REVELL OF GERMANY), part of the KIT combination with the car transporter. This topic is only for the PETERBILT and not for the trailer. I had build this truck about 10 years ago, painted a pal blue color and after 2 years I decided that I didn't like it that way, so back in the 2002 the restoration started. Its a long time I know, I don't even have any picture of the truck how it was builded. When I was mooved to a new house before 4 years the restoration was interapted and the truck was sitting in a box till a few days ago when I decided to rebuild this truck. The title ''The reborn'' is choosen because after all these years the KIT was heavyly damaged and many - many parts are missing... So lets see what is going on, on the workbench: This is how the kit should look like if someone wants to build it out of the box I started the rebuild/modification by modifying the feders and I also made some heavy modifications to the headache rack

You are of a good start! I like both your builds, keep us posted. Kostas.

Hey Kurt, This build is AWSOME!!! The last detail (I mean the load) is the final touch. Very impressive model. Now you have to take some photos outdoors on the snow or on the ice. I believe that your truck looks like an original ICE ROAD workhorse! Kostas.

Hello and welcome on board. Je m' apelle Kostas!!! Je habit a Athene Greece (I think so). LOL This is all and all of what I know from the French language. I have also visited once the city of Marceile. Show us some of your builds. Kostas. PS: To the moderators, I like the new look of the forum, congratulations!!!

The assembly line at Timsbuilds is out of control and the logistics managers are having problem where to park all these beauties.... LOL Tim, if you are going to need a parking manager I am free ! ! ! lol Kostas. Ah! by the way, I wish to everyone to have nice time and join these holidays

Nice trailer you have there!! Keep us posted. I have never seen this kit in real, so could you please tell tell me if this kit can be extended adding in the middle a section from a second kit in order to make a modern 53'' flatbed? Kostas.

Hey Tim, Amazing Timsbuilds open house video. Class pays! Your assembly line (see workbench) is fantastic. Finally, not only the decoration but also the size of your hobby room makes my 15m2 truck room looks tiny. I have told you that soon you are going to need extreme makeover home ed. LOL Greetings, Kostas. PS: What is your estimation about the date that www.timstrucks.com will be back?

Atenzapower, Hello from Greece! It is always nice to see a SCANIA. Those STREAMLINES are really workhorses. I am watching the progress of this model on another forum. You have done very nice work and I like the color you have choose. Keep us posted. Kostas.

Ryan, It is very cool so far. Keep the good work coming. Kostas.

Hey Chris, Before my next visit in Germany, I will Contact you. Using ICE, 300 km is nothing LOL! Kostas.

Hi Ryan, The progress of your truck is very fast ( that is good for me cause I like to see others work ) and of course it s amazing!!! I have seen in the past other modelers modifications on working steering but this is my first time seeing someone doing a 4x4 modification. It is very cool. Ben, All of us, we are sick!!! and you know what's the problem about this sickness? It needs muuuuuuuuuuch €€€€€/$$$$$ money and something that I don't have, FREE TIME..... Kostas.

Hey Chris, I do like the spread axles look, it is much better than the 3 axles look. Both your kits are very nice. Kostas.

I like this one! Kostas.

W O W ! ! ! That's a good one. Kostas.
