Been a long time

Hello everyone, Thank you for allowing me to join you all. I've been retired 10 years and thought I would give model building a try after 50+ years. Jumped in both feet with Revells's Level 5 Peterbilt 359, have one built, working on #2, and just finished a lowering kit for #3. I've learned a lot from reading and watching videos from guys like you all, and it's helped tremendously. I don't have any desire to do weathering or in use trucks just what I like, read that more than once, build it the way you want it. I would like some advise about chroming things like toolboxes and fuel tanks etc, hate those darn seams, and any suggestions you all may have. So far they've turned out pretty decent in my opinion, but open to learning more. From what I've seen here are some very talented builders and I will never be to that calibur, just a hobby to keep my mind and hands busy. Sorry but I'm computer illiterate otherwise I'd definitely post some pictures for critique and advise. Love this site and seeing all of your amazing builds, keep on trucking. PEACE everyone.
