My first big rig build

[raisin27]

I always seem to find a few things that need some attention after I finish a build but until I do I am calling this one done.

Built straight out of the box. I must say this kit went together very well, everything seemed to fit like it was supposed to and no surprises.

Thanks for looking

Great looking Transtar.  Very well done.

You knocked this one out of the park! Looking forward to seeing your second big rig!

Very nice Transtar - if this is your first truck, we can expect lots of cool big rigs from you !

You picked the right kit as your first big rig. This kit is probably one of the best out there. AMT kits are beautiful but they are more ...challenging. Judging by your results tough, I am sure you  are up to the challenge. Very nice build by the way.

Turned out great!  Which kit is this, thinking of dabbling in big rigs myself.

You picked an excellent kit to start with! Very well engineered. Felt like a Tamiya kit in a lot of ways.

You did a great job!

For a first big rig build, it’s really a sucess !! Details, paint job are very sharp , you made the right choice to paint the fuel tanks, the wheels and the exhaust system and keep the chromed bumper, it gives your model an authentic  look !! Very neat work ??

Beautiful detail painting, paintwork decals and washes!

This could easily pass for a 1:1.

Amazing first big rig build, very clean work with beautiful detail. Love the colour, your paint looks flawless! 

[vincen47]

Great job with it. Glad to hear your first time with a big rig was a pleasant one. I hope you’re hooked, because you’ve done an excellent job, especially with the subtle weathering, good fit, and smooth paint. Looking forward to seeing more trucks from you.

Extremely nice, well done!

Great looking build. 

[Beamerman]

Really nice! I need to do a Truck too i think...very cool...

I almost didn’t check out your post because I figured how good could your first big rig be. Boy was I wrong. Absolutely stunning looking build. Color choice/decals are excellent and I also like how you reduced the amount of chrome.

Thank you everyone for all the comments. I am already thinking about my next build.
