Hello eveyone! I'm Dave, been building styrene for a long time on and off since I was 10.... 43 now. I just found this site and am super impressed with the builds!

Past builds, AMT Pete "Turnpiker" ( I was young and RUINED it ), AMT KW Aerodyne, AMT Bruce Canepa T-600 (added Revell of Germany triple axle equipment trailer and AMT Cat dozer), AMT T-600 ( made a day cab and pulled the tri-axle dump trailer ), Italeri Freightliner FL170 ( added old glue bomb flatbed trailer ), Revell W900(snap kit reissue), Revell Pete 359(snap reissue).
