RoadbossJammer Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 I'm a teenager and this is my first model that I built last year.
Old Buckaroo Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Well that looks pretty nice to me. This is a pretty nice forum you have landed at with some really helpful modelers. I started building trucks as a teenager moved on to other models and went back to Big Rigs 35 years later.

Bennyg Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Good job. Keep at it. This is a good site to learn from. There are good books out there as well such as tamiya plastic model guide. Cheers Ben
RoadbossJammer Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 Looks really good Nice job thanks, now as I look back on it, a lot could have been changed.

72 Charger Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 thanks, now as I look back on it, a lot could have been changed. Thats one of the great things about this hobby if you want to change it you can . Nice boss that was one of my first truck builds . Did you have any trouble with getting the hood and cab to line up. They can be a bit of fiddle to get right
Superpeterbilt Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 now as I look back on it, a lot could have been changed. Some models are never truly finished. A lot of my models have been stripped and rebuilt multiple times over the years. As my skills got better, I grew dissatisfied with older builds. Sometimes the more you stare at it, other ideas pop up. My very first Pete 359 is on its fourth rebuild.

Did you have any trouble with getting the hood and cab to line up. They can be a bit of fiddle to get right that was one of the things i messed up on. I got the hood great somehow but the cab didn't seem to want to line up good.
Pavel A. Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Very big success is that your first build is done. Better detailled work will come with time and your skill will be better and better. I think good work and keep on building.
