Well guys let me start by saying I got this kit for xmas and I really haven't enjoyed it until now. Lack of proper materials and impatience pretty well ruined any attempt to make the model actually look halfway decent. So, one rainy day I get it off the shelf and get out my modeling supplies...Long story short I decide to go with the weathered look which is great on a big truck, because they really do get beat up...So this is what I have so far.

Yes I know I am missing a wiper...cant seem to find it which irritates me...

Interior needs more work to look right...kind of looks rushed right now. (thinking I might add some trash and etc.)

Really pleased with this as a whole. Studied a broken window carefully and also made dents with soldering iron/pencil.

This could also use some more effort.

So what do you think?

Your off to a great start can't wait to see more of it. I like the soldering iron idea for dents never seen that before but looks very good.

I would only suggest some new wiper blades. The weathering is looking good.. this is a most fun way to build! :(

Thanks guys! I got the chassis most of the way assembled...this is slow going and I only do a little at a time so I can really enjoy it...
