To introduce myself.............( old fogey )

[old fogey]

I am a 74 year old model builder, currently embarking on 1/25 big rigs.

Too old to build museum quality builds ( never could honestly ), just nicely done clean models

I am looking for some advice and tips from those that know more than me :)

Welcome there James.  Big rigs are pretty kewl.  Never built one but sure do like looking at the ones that others have built.

Welcome to the forum James! You will find everyone here helpful with any questions you may have, just have a little patience and someone will chime in eventually. Pictures of your WIP or finished builds are appreciated.

somehow my autobiographic profile got mixed up in this thread.

well, just try to do the best you can. that's really what all of us are doing.

ever see Hunter Selby? he's not making videos too frequently lately, he can be a little intense, but you might enjoy his take on life & models:
