Tbill Posted August 14, 2019 I’m guessing a lot of you are like me, not much bench time in good weather, between yard work, golf, and just enjoying being outside, the model bench and I are estranged in the summer months. But, as much as I hate to say it, summer will be over soon, and build season will be in full force. I have a few rig builds in mind for this ‘season’, one of them is a transtar 2 COE with a trailer similar to the box art ( have all parts for that other than the ‘canvas’ top), and I picked up a resin mack coe cab from AITM while at NNL east this past April, trailer undecided on for that one so far, and possibly the revell Pete 359 tri axle wrecker, along with some car/pick up builds. What’ve you all got planned to get ya thru another winter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jersee Jerry55 Posted August 16, 2019 Just trying to actually finish one not manufactured by Revell would be nice. And I am totally serious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
41CHEVY Posted August 17, 2019 Picked up a pair of Autocar dumps and plan on building one of my real units. The second build is a stretched cab Mack Cruiseliner with Mack twin turbo V10. Up here in Maine where I am the 3 days of summer is due to arrive on Monday. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 1 Posted August 20, 2019 My plan is to start and finish the Italeri Peterbilt 378-119 Classic. If I get the cab and hood painted, decaled and top coated before the Fall/winter cold hits, I'll be good to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tbill Posted August 21, 2019 That is a fantastic kit! I really enjoyed building that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam I am Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Well...my oldest son is getting married in a little over 3 weeks, adding turmoil to an already busy summer. After that, the youngest will be moving into his room...after a quick paint and carpet job. Then....I get a hobby room! So when my hobby room is all set up I hope to finish both Internationals, the lowboy, and the reefer....then go from there.
