Hi all. I'm from Ontario Canada. Been building for roughly 10yrs. I use to build transports alot a while ago then just got too too busy to put the time and effort into them. I recently started back up with them, to take a break from the muscle cars. I built the new Revell Pete 359 and the AMT t600 Kenworth last year to get back into things. Both kits werent bad at all, could have been better but they are far from the worst. At the moment I am building the Pete 377 A/E (red box) by Italeri. I built this kit a while ago but now that my skills have improved I'm sure I can make it better this time around. I plan to scratch build some cabinets and add a TV and laptop (both from amt rides kit).

Glad to have a fellow ontarian aboard.You gave me an idea for accesories with the rides kits.

Theres a bunch of extra goodies like that in the Rides kits. Also in the Boyd Coddington kits(AMT as well). In the early 60's Boyd Vette there is what seems to be and looks like a PS2/PS3 control. I put that in a Woody resto mod. But ya theres all sorts of stuff like that in the Rides/ Boyds kits. I suppose with the skills some of you guys have scratch building these things wouldnt be very hard.

Hello guys,

Welcome 454ss.

If you are getting back into truck building, this is the place to be.

Thanks for the welcome. Yes this seems to be the place for truck builders. I usually get 6-8 regular models built in a year so maybe 3 or 4 trucks will come out in 08.

Welcome 454ss. 6-8 builds a year is pretty good. Right now with family committments I am lucky to find a couple of hours a week.
