Goose1957 Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 I started working on this back in the winter and wanted to keep with the "ice patrol " theme. Just finished it this week, so sorry for the snowless pics, lol. When I started the build, I was going to use the kit Honcho stripe decals. But halfway though,I decided to keep the ice patrol theme and found the Alpine Lodge decals in my stash. I wanted to make a work truck that may be found at a ski lodge. I used the plow from the GMC truck kit, but had to scratch build the plow hoist, as I used that for another project. I replaced the goofy looking (to me, anyway) offroad lights on top of the rollbar with some from the parts box. Added the rotary beacon, skis, radio and first aid kit from the stash too. The snowmobile, gas cans and toolbox are from the Jeep kit. After I finished it, I decided to add light weathering to it. Wish I would have dullcoated it before I put it together. I used colored chalks to do the weathering. I didn't notice the ejector pin marks on the side mirror until I looked at the photos. Funny how you see stuff in pics that you didn't see before. As always, thanks for looking and comments are welcome. Jeff
Spottedlaurel Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Turned out well, it looks just right. But definitely a strange thing to be considering the middle of summer! I'm the same with my photos, the macro setting picks up things I don't notice when working on it.
Bucky Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 I like what you've done with this. Looks very theme correct!
espo Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Great looking Jeep truck. I like that you went with the original theme with your build.
