boyesreef Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 this kit started off as a Revell Peterbilt 359 continental set. ive got a good part of two weeks after work on this. all details are painted with toothpicks. i don't have the fancy set-ups most of you guys have, but i enjoy the concentration and planning this hobby takes. tell me what you guys think, and i can always use pointers! thanks all!
Greg K Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 welcome to the forums. nice work on that rig. and by the way, i believe 99% of us modelers use toothpicks
boyesreef Posted December 13, 2015 Author Posted December 13, 2015 lol, good to hear and thank you for the kind words!
anarximis Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 hey when i started it was toothpicks q-tips and fanger
gino Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 very neat and clean. I like it , nice work ! X3 on the toothpicks !
towman1271 Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Welcome nick.. You did an amazing job on your first truck.. You can make a nice looking piece without all the fancy equipment.. We all use toothpicks for small details.. Hope to see more from you!
disabled modeler Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Nick... Nice job on it....I make most of my own tools when possible...tooth picks too here used them many times.
Brinx Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Good looking truck Nick, hope to see more. I like the paint work, looks pretty smooth and straight. You show a lot of attention to detail. On the toothpick thing, my wife keeps wondering were her kitchen box of picks keeps disappearing to
gatorincebu Posted December 13, 2015 Posted December 13, 2015 Nick, Welcome to the Forum and the World of Big truck models. You Peterbilt looks terrific. Your paint detailing is very good. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Also I would like to see build threads from you. To see some of your techniques. As for the toothpicks. I would guess we all use them. I have found .No matter all the fancy tools I have on the bench. I end up using the same few.But I have the rest should I need them!! lol Be Well Gator
boyesreef Posted December 14, 2015 Author Posted December 14, 2015 heres the one im working on now, for those asking for more. these are the only models ive ever done, i like restoring things, so this isnt too far off. just smaller.
Old Buckaroo Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 That is a nice looking Peterbilt , and the Ford resto is coming along as well .
