Really nice work

[Darbo]

Cool

[gatorincebu]

Your work on the plow looks very good. Just the right amount of weathering.

That looks about as real as it can be. That reminds me I'd better get the snow blower serviced and running for the one or two snows we get every winter.

[Cardz]

Awesome work on the plow...weathering is spot on!!

[Casey]

Love it, and agreed on just the right amount of weathering.

What did you use (looks like green wrapped wire?) to simulate the weld beads at the various joints?

[mk11]

Wow! That's a new benchmark. Nice work.

thanks guys!  For welds I used stretched sprue, I Iike to use a different color so I can see what I'm doing lol. Just soften it with glue and poke with a knife to make the weld patterns.

Excellent detail, I like it a lot.

 I like your avi too. Bob's Burgers rules!

Brilliant James.

The plow looks incredible. 

[Luc Janssens]

Amazing job, love it!

Can't wait to see the vehicle on which it gets mounted (hope that's the right term)

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Very realistic,  nice! 

[misterNNL]

[DRIPTROIT 71]

Your detail and weathering is off the charts! Excellent work!!

[426-Hemi]

[Davewilly]

Thats a nice looking plow!  Cant wait to see it on the truck!

[Darren B]

thanks!  Yeah but I'm undecided on using this GMC truck or putting it on the new Bronco kit lol maybe I'll have to make an older looking plow for the bronco with round lights etc

That is a very realistic weathered old plow there, great job! 

If you are looking some round lights that come close to what was used in the 70's/80's, check out one of the Revell 32 Fords. They have two sets of headlights and the smaller ones are pretty close to the right size.

thanks! I actually have some spares from the '29 Ford kit lol 

[Belugawrx]

Nicely done James !

The plow is a nice kit all by itself, isn't it ?

Cheers
