Nice build and subtle weathering, @Scalper. That plow detail is insane; looks like it's survived more than its fair share of Canadian winters.

Now under glass.  Thanks for our patience 😆

Completed my plow truck today.  Started this a few years ago.   It’s a good shape salute body that survived had a few paint jobs but not being put to work.  Plow is old and used but gets the job done.  Winter is coming. 
 

thanks for looking all comments welcomed.

Here’s my girl. Her name is Scarlet aka stinky.   She’s 13 now. And since my other cat rebel passed away 5 years ago she’s become very needy and sucky.

Little updates.  Painted the front dam and bottom side trim. 

and oh BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH.   Hope I still have some of this paint left. 

['85 Pontiac Fiero GT]

This poor thing was tossed back in its box because I was not happy with the trim.  Well I have putty drying on my tank barrel. 
 

so lucky fiero got pulled back out.   Here how she sits now

Great reference photos, I’ve been looking to see what make the kit plow was supposed to represent, found no info here so thanks for the heads up!
 

Hey Andre, I found some scale chain and can drop it off next time I’m out, say maybe 2” is enough? I have styrene rod too but hydraulic cylinders will take some scratch work

Thanks Bob. I will gladly take it off your hands at the next meeting.   Hopefully we will have them again regularly.  With no lockdowns 

[GMC square body plow]

wow great pics.   thanks for the reference

Bucket will be filled with salt.  Added fire extinguisher.   Now the plow.   Looks bare.  Does not look right.    Missing hydrolic ram ?  Chains. Going to have to find something to use for chains.  That could take a while now since we are heading towards another lockdown.  Pic as she sits now.

Really Looking great, Andre. Your weathering on this kit is really well done! And, I am a sucker for green trucks.

thank you,  it was a experiment that went well I think,    I am also a sucker for green  

[GMC square body plow]

Decided to do the mirrors like Tom suggested also saw a few others that where done like this.   Much easier less stress. 

sitting waiting for all the glue to dry. Plow attached

Nope!  I’d skip the bottom brace! And dontcha just love the big ejector pin mark in the center of the mirror?!

Thanks that’s what I will do.

[GMC square body plow]

These mirrors don’t look like fun at all.

That plow looks nasty, as it should! I built just the plow part a while back for use with a Jeep, but... then my Ford Louisville Snow Plow kit was supposed to be done for LAST winter...nice to see that SOMEONE can resurrect a stalled project!  Weathering is fun, I need to get back to it, thanks for spurring my memory!

Yes indeed. I was supposed to have this ready by winter... has all summer to prepare. .. 

[GMC square body plow]

Thanks guys.   She’s and old plow blade that’s for sure.  

truck is a 3 dressed up as a nine. 

thanks for looking 

[GMC square body plow]

Been kinda in a slump.  Back at it.   Plow hardware getting installed.  Plow looking rough.  Will do some more weathering on it.  Here’s how she sits now
