Scratch building a Peterbilt 350, first truck model in 26 years !

[fractalign]

Hey.

I have been wanting to build a truck model for a while now and recently bought a Revell 125: scale

Peterbilt 359. The price was right and my plan was to convert it into an early model 350 because i happen to like the early model Peterbilts. While the two models are similar, i thought about it a bit and decided it would be easier to scratch build a 350 rather than try to convert the 359 into a 350. By using the 359 chassis as a template i realised i would have an easy platform to work off.

With the nearest hobby shop over 100 miles away and materials in short supply i looked around for some suitable material and decided on using excess CD covers. Their rigid design design makes them perfect for this project.
