    This was such an amazing build. I had tons of fun building it and look forward to possibly painting it. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and the parts were of top quality. I would highly recommend these 2 models.

    Optimus Prime Edition
    UGears Heavy Boy Truck VM-03 |
    35-44
    I would recommend this to a friend!
    This was only the second UGears model I\'ve ever built. The first was the VM-03 Roadster (shown in the picture in green) really had MUCH more complete and clearer instructions. It\'s almost as if they really babied you compared to this build where LOTS of things were left out. They went the extra step of showing you how to cut down the toothpicks and how many you needed etc etc in the Roadster instructions. In this model there really wasn\'t that much of that which was a little disappointing. Also, there were a few times in the instructions where they show a marking of a part for orientation purposes and then in another step the same marking is shown on the other side of the part. Another quibble I have is some parts are shown assembled out of order in different steps, this can be VERY confusing if you haven\'t reviewed the instructions carefully ahead of time. I was honestly quite shocked that at the end of the instruction booklet, where they show the functions, there was no mention of the hood opening with latch, or high and low speeds. I guess you\'re just supposed to know or figure it out??As you can see, I fully detailed my model inside and out. For areas that move I used Sharpie markers. But let me warn you, only black and metallic sharpies adequately cover the burned edges of the wood. I used wood stain for the floor of the cabin and the interior walls. Portions of the model that can be thickened like the entire outside and, for example the inside of the doors I used acrylic paint. I painted my model to look like Optimus Prime from the live action Transformers Movie! I did spend considerable amount of time detailing the interior only to realize once the model is assembled it\'s VERY difficult to see inside, glad I took lots of pics during assembly. That means that you probably don\'t have to be as meticulous as me since it won\'t be visible. I did add a fabric and pillow to the bed and light to the interior to help you see in there a little bit better. See my video with my truck in action here: https://youtu.be/Wt7ktLhwhKkTIPS for OTHER builders: -Liberally wax ALL parts that interact with each other, not just where the instructions show -ALL parts that rub against each other should be almost polished before applying the wax with a find sandpaper -Pay close attention to the orientation and order of assembly so that you don\'t need to disassemble anything -Don\'t be afraid to sand things so that it\'s not as difficult to press them together, it\'s better to use a little glue if needed than break a part -The trailer hitch mechanism should be retracted while working on the model. This was the only part I broke while working on the next step, since this is a LARGE lever arm and sticks waaaay out! -The wheel locking nuts are the most difficult part to assemble and you should use some wax, sand a bit if they are super tight and lastly, don\'t forget to support the axle when installing -As you can see, these models CAN be painted but be careful to only paint areas that won\'t be moving as this adds thickness to the partSee my video with my truck in action here: https://youtu.be/Wt7ktLhwhKk

    Built the trailer first. That was fun. Started the truck and can not put it down. A great challenge for a 76 yr old, but I really enjoyed building this truck. parts clearly marked and rather easy to put together.

    This is my third advanced model purchased direct from Latvia. The first, the steam locomotive never moved under its own power but I put this down to getting \'experience\'. My second, the Dream Cabriolet never moved either! I am now on my third, the heavy boy truck and am meeting the same problem: everything is assembled as per the instructions but having got the engine running by itself, when I joined it to the main chassis it refuses to move! I have watched the assembly video (in Ukrainian!) and done everything he has done. What is not clear is which levers need to be set where to make it go. I wonder if anyone else here in Vietnam has succeeded in getting it to work as the only way to solve it is to have someone examine it. (except I don\'t speak Vietnamese) Anyway I really enjoy the assembly part and I will just keep on assembling and hope it might work in the end. Otherwise it will be the third model that looks really good but refuses to move!

    I’ve been working with Ugesrs models for about six months now. My husband and I work on them and enjoy putting it all together. They are cut out with laser precision and sometimes very challenging

    Building My hobby is building stuff. I’m a builder. I like to use my hands. And this UGears semi-truck model is actually, in all its irony, perfect for me since I drive an eighteen wheeler for living! When I’m not on the road, I like to work on random projects in my garage. This model is the right one for me and I’m happy to have preordered it.

    Perfect timeless gift! My dad and I used to fix all types of motor vehicles together. He worked as a mechanic and when I was younger, I’d hand him his tools, but as I grew older I’d actually fix the vehicles with him. To be able to build a truck model, such as Heavy Boy Truck, is a great trip down the memory lane. I can’t wait until it comes in! Maybe I can show my father when I’m done with it too.
