The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
Elizbeth: I did some of thoes kits myself Peter Built Cab Over and the Peter Built Long Nose the frames were twisted on them also. If this happenes to you again try putting the frames in hot water until plastic softens a little. Then lay a little weight on frame till it gets cold sometimes this will straighten frame, if it's not twisted to bad. And welcom to the forum. ACESES5

Elizabeth Jane,
Welcome to the FSM modeling forums!
Tackling a warped glue bomb of a model as a first build is a daunting task to say the least. Most experienced modelers here would keep the Peterbilt for salvaging bits for scratch built details on other models. Your determination to rebuild the kit is admirable and further more will accelerate your skills as a true modeler.
To post pictures you need to join a third party photograph host like Photobucket. Once they are up loaded there you simply copy the IMG code and paste here.
Once you decide to treat yourself to a new kit and what subject it will be post a thread asking which model kit is worth buying. It saves time & money as someone here has built any kit or subject in question and will give honest opinions as to its quality.

Hi Elizabeth and welcome to the forum and hobby. It's amazing what something your dad showed you all those years ago had a lasting effect. Thats how it happened for me. A light globe lit in my brain when i was 35 and haven't looked back since.
Happy modeling - Leo

Model resurrection is a noble thing and one that few dare to attempt. You have my respect.

Welcome aboard!!
Elizabeth Jane Hello everyone.I guess I won't find too many girls here but I started modelling thanks to my dad's lack of interest in the hobby.

Welcome Elizabeth! You are correct that the majority that post here are males. But ther are some female modelers that are active. One that comes to mind is CallSignOWL. Sounds like you're off to a good start. Looking forwards to seeing your Peterbilt.

It's always nice to see some ladies here. There used to be a lass that modeled armor. I've also seen one that built some great jet aircraft. There has even been a Powderpuff Groupbuild.
Look forward to see your work.

Welcome to the club...post pics as soon as you can so we can give you some tips...
Hello everyone.I guess I won't find too many girls here but I started modelling thanks to my dad's lack of interest in the hobby.20 year ago my dad was given a Revell model truck (Peterbilt Black Widow 1:25) that he started by building the chassis and then it got put away until my brother found it one day and took it for his son. It was too complicated for my nephew so it got returned.It was in a bad state when I opened the box. The chassis had a terrible twist in it, the wheels had been glued solid and then snapped off, the steering had been built backwards, the doors had been glued on and then snapped off and the glass had been glued in and covered with fingerprints of glue. To make matters worse, two wheels were missing along with a few other parts and it still wasn't painted.As I don't like being beating so I decided to give it a go anyway. I took over my dad's study room for two month and started repairing the model. I even got my dad to go shopping with me for everything I would need and he showed me how to spray paint.I am really pleased with how it turned out but it does still have a few faults like the wheels wobble a bit because I had to make new pins for them and the chassis still has a slight twist in it but for my first model I think I did quite well. As soon as I work out how to post pictures on here I will.Elizabeth.
