Newbie Here, saying hello

[Steelgears13]

I first of all want to say hello to everyone. My name is Gerrit, and I live near Grand Rapids, MI. I have always had a love for trucks since an early age, and even though unemployed at this time, love to drive them for a living. In the time that I have been laid off, I decided to build a model, and selected the Revell 1/25 scale Peterbilt 359. I recently have acquired the Freuhauf Tanker kit and Flatbed kit, along with AMT/Round's Freightliner "Dual Drive" cabover. I hope to put more detail to the next three kits than I did the 359, which I basically shot with a black semi gloss spray can, and assembled. Here are some pictures of that model here. I know my skills are way way under what anyone else's here are, but I do this for fun, and to keep me out of the girlfriend's hair. Hope to meet some new and like minded people here!

Sincerely, Gerrit

P.S. I apologize for the crappy quality of the pictures. I didn't have a good camera around when I took the pics, so I used my cellphone.
