ICM Liberty Truck Build 

Hi Robert. Amazing comment and very inspirational. ICM kits come with a headache or two free of charge but with a little love the kits eventually shape up nicely. Glad the video was of use to you and good luck with your projects.

Lots of dry-fitting and a little detective work is also on the menu. Still a very cool looking vehicle when built up. Thanks for the note Bill and good luck with your own projects!

Hi Alain, always nice to see your notes. Sharing the videos is my pleasure and I am happy if it helps viewers to achieve the best results possible. good luck to you!

Hi Steve. Always nice to read your notes. Still some filling work to be done and we'll look at modifying the hood leaf so we can expose that awesome engine. Then on to the wet stuff in the next installment. Stay well my friend and all the best to you!

Thank you for the always awesome note Mr. Cheeseman! I just couldn't bear having my model-building brothers stepping on one of this kit's hidden landmines. But that damn steering rod still has me befuddled to this day. Until I find a descent picture of the thing it will remain one of life's great mysteries. Thanks again John, your note is an inspiration!

Hi John, thank you for the nice comment and words of encouragement! What brand were the ambulance and armored car (so I can stay away from them). I don't mind little fixes but juggling the builds with trying to get the videos out in a reasonable time means I appreciate kits with good engineering. Still we must try new things lest the channel turns in to a Tamiya only feature. I've had good luck with the newer Meng and Takom kits. Had to try ICM. They have cool subject matter but they have a way to go to play in the A league. All the best to you!

I may just find myself running back to the warm busom of a Tamiya kit thank you. Guess we're spoilt. All the best JS.

Hey TD, thanks for your note. Hopefully it'll help people to navigate the kit's shortcomings. Still, looking forward to painting so it really comes to life.

No one should have to suffer alone my friend. Suffice it to say I had to edit out a lot of cussing in the audio lest YT bans the video. But we shall overcome! All the best to you Vic.

@@stevieRay3211 I'm glad I wasn't alone. :)

I totally feel your pain as this kit was an adventure. Truth be known, I made a bad error when building it because of the confusing instructions. Normally I would retire the build and move on to something new but I wanted to finish the episode so I had to buy the kit again for the fresh parts I needed. Maybe its a marketing ploy by ICM! I'm an experienced builder so God help beginners trying to tame this kit. Still, ICM as a brand has a lot of potential and most new companies, sadly, need some time to get their act together. Maybe one day Tamiya will expand their catalog to include more WW1 subject matter but until then, it's the wild west for us. Hopefully the video will spare others from our anguish. Don't get discouraged. With all the videos and forums around these days it gives us a chance to evaluate a kit before we buy it. Trust me, I learned that lesson the hard way. Thanks for the note and for watching and good luck with your future projects.

@@stevieRay3211 - Every now and then I need to build a Tamiya kit even if the subject doesn't interest me that much! Have you ever tried a Copper State kit for WW1? They're good.

Thank-you for your comment! Had a quick look at your model and she looks fine indeed! You're right, it's not the easiest model to build and it does take patience to get it to fall together. Still for anyone looking to build something a little different than the standard tank fare, it's a good choice. Good luck with your own projects and thanks for watching! And I did paint my model and here is the link; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--6v-QdpbZDA.html

Hi Mike. Pleasures mine. The truck is just too cool to pass on. Good price too. Still not one for sleepy late-night building since she cries for our full attention. All the best.
