mchook Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 This is an old Honcho kit with a RMR resin grill, real wood rack body, working snow plow, load of sand and of course one of my lazy paint jobs. You can see the WIP here if you want too. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Alway amazed by your realistic looking finishes. The sand pile is a great looking touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 That's pretty cool, Mark. Looks like it's seen a few Upstate New York (or maybe Colorado) winters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Very nice work and great job on the weathering. Love how you made the plow turn, the pile of sand in the back and realistic rust on the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug 1061 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Way cool. There are 4WD vehicles like this all over the Colorado mountains. Just needs chains on all 4 tires and it's all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and please feed the little guy,he must be starving! Jerry Thanks Jerry. I got the dog after Christmas one year when they had all the Christmas Village stuff on sale at Walmart. I think I paid a buck for it, cut the snow base off, repainted it and added some garbage to the can. Oh ya, I all most forgot. He gets fed everyday with the other dogs but he just wont stay out of the garbage!😉 On 3/3/2022 at 5:43 AM, kruleworld said: impressive crud. looks spot on. Thanks Walter.
