My first truck build "BST" Peterbilt 359

[Dhar217]

These are a few pictures of my progress so far.. I'm doing my own version of the RoG Bill Signs Trucking Peterbilt 359. I am going for the used/worn in look when finished. The colors will be Tamiya gun metal fenders, roof and frame with the rest of the cab being Tamiya Italian red. Sorry for the picture quality as I'm a rookie photographer and model builder! All comments welcome

Looks pretty good to me....Especially for a "Rookie".....I've been building for years, and I don't even think about plumbing....You're off to a great start....Oh, and I find the best cameras can be had at the pawn shop for like, $30.....5 mega pixels or more, but the fewer the pixels, the faster it downloads.....

Just some progress..originally I was thinking a two tone red with gunmetal but now I'm leaning towards all gun metal?

I'm also working on real fabric for the interior.. Floor at least maybe door panels too.

Thanks for the tip! I'll get some outdoor pictures when it's all finished.. I have quite a bit more to go(finish assembly, decals, weathering to include dirt and rust).

Very nice

This is the progress I've made so far.. There are certain items that have givin me some troubles. The chrome finish looked nice on the "trees" but after installation and some weathering I've noticed it has worn through in two spots :/ The alignment of the hood has been tough too(I accidentally broke a support)! Anyways still a bunch more to do..
