Very nice paint job on the cab. The way you highlighted the grill with black really adds a lot or realism. I would say your first semi truck build has been a big success. Best regards.
nice build so far buddy for someone who's been building trucks for years can't see anything wrong with your build for someone that is new to big Riggs well done your subbed👍👍
Lots of detail parts but it's looking great with the black and chrome on the blue. Hope you can get the hinges figured out, it is taking shape and looking great so far.
Those cab hinges are a pain. Sometimes you can use metal rod to make a pivot point. Got my last Volvo cab over working perfectly. Then realized it wouldn't tilt because of bumper & Bull Bar 🐀
Beautiful truck your build inspiers me to build mine I hope you figure out the hinges I would love to see how it comes out the color is awesome what color did you say that was
Watching your videos of this build you have done a great job of building the truck so far. I must agree with you that choosing the Sapphire Blue was a great chose. Sometimes when building models you have to skip a step to get the build done correctly. But I would like to suggest you watch a video done by Right -On-Replicas. He is very good at pointing out areas that you will have fit issues, what he does to correct it, so forth. He has done this model already so there is a guide for you to use. I also noticed in your update before this one you had found the correct part for the top pulley on the engine. But in this review that is missing. Don’t for get about that, and the holes needed for the windshield wipers.
You have a really good eye for detail. Correct, I had forgotten to glue the air conditioner pump in, but it's in now. The windshield wipers are not on yet because they look terrible and will require a lot of work before I put them on. Yes, I will head over to Right On Replicas to see how on earth to attach the exhaust, because the instructions are vague. I thoughed I was already subbed over there but I guess not. Thanks for your comment.
There should be holes for the pins on your pivots to go into. Or , at least some marks on the cab where they go. I doubt they go on those radiator pins.
Hi there, great looking work so far. I just started the AMT GMC Astro and it looks like pretty much the same plastic as the Chevy Titan. I've taken a different approach and mocked-up a lot of stuff before painting. I don't know if you have fit your cab yet but if look at my video you can see where the hinge pins go. (start at about 4:25 if you don't want to watch the whole thing) You might need to modify the support brackets for the rear of the cab so that it doesn't sit too high. (05:00) I don't know if your kit has the same exhaust and fuel tanks, but if it does I found that the single exhaust and right-side fuel tank interfere with each other. (07:15). th-cam.com/video/VAQuQmOmfec/w-d-xo.html Your rig is looking cool so far hope to see it done sometime!

Thank you! It has been a real learning experience.
Turning into a Beautiful Truck Brother, thanks for Sharing n God Bless All.
It does look nice. But it's an exercise in patience.
That color looks awesome with the chrome trim, great looking build so far.
Yes, this is a nice color contrast. I'm gonna have to remember it and put it on a sports car.
Excellent work coming along!! Big rigs are definitely a marathon and not a sprint . after all the little bits they look super cool 😁
great looking build nice detail work
Thanks Eddie!
Looking good !!!!
Really great looking build so far
Thank you!
That is looking awesome. Cab is wonderful and the dash looks awesome. Ron
Thank you Ron.
nice build so far buddy for someone who's been building trucks for years can't see anything wrong with your build for someone that is new to big Riggs well done your subbed👍👍
Thank you. I am spending a lot of time searching google images to see what things are supposed to look like on big rigs.
Looking very good so far. Great job. Sounds like you we’re getting the rain also lol. Keep having fun buddy. Papadan
Oh yes, and this rain brought some cold temperatures too. Not good for us shed builders!
Turning into a beautiful truck Mike! I have an old can I built many years ago. I will look at the hinges and if it helps I will email you a pic!
If it's easy to find. Don't dig too much for it. I'll eventually figure it out. Thanks.
@@Toppervision1 Wasn't a problem! Found it!
Lol. Hard parts to go. Looks great
Aha, thanks for the warning. :)
Lots of detail parts but it's looking great with the black and chrome on the blue. Hope you can get the hinges figured out, it is taking shape and looking great so far.
Thanks Steve! It is a nice color combination for sure!
That rig is looking great so far brother
Thanks!
@@Toppervision1 your welcome
Looks great Mike, hinges look like fun, :) 😎 👍
Thanks Tom
Looking like a nice hard working rig brother.
Oh yea, definitely old school.

I think it was Sapphire Blue Metallic. A Testors color. I don't know if they still make it.
Looking good
Thank you!
That is looking good so far Mike!! :) 🙌
Thank you Dylan!

Awesome work, take the time it takes, love the color.
Marc saying peace & thanks for sharing!
Thank you Marc!

Oh yea, there are holes on the chassis, it's the other side that's the mystery.
I'm not talking about the chassis. I'm talking about on either side of the radiator.
@@charlie418791 Yea, Kenny sent me a pic of his. There are supposed to be holes on the cab, but there aren't. Bizarre. Where did the holes go?
super video, keep shooting!!!!success in creativity friend!!!like!!!!👍👍👍отличный грузовик 👍👍👍🇷🇺😉
Thank you!
The Chevy is really looking great!! Keep at it!
Hey it's coming along great, r u doing 2 pipes or the one? I'm just wondering how hard the 2 might be buddy...
I'm gonna do the dual exhaust. The instructions are vague on it, but there's really only one way it can go together.
Looking Great ! I appreciate the microwave plate tip. I have been using it in my videos & I should give you a public shout out 📢 🐀
You bet. Everybody should have one!

Thanks for the info. Yes, it looks like I'll have to file down the cab supports. I'm gonna go with the dual exhaust. Just subbed ya btw. :)
Looking good
