mchook Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 RMR resin grill and an old Honcho kit. The chassis was built so I weathered it a little. I took the plow set up from an old GMC kit, cut it up to make it all move like it should and this is about all I have right now. 2
NOBLNG Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Yeah, that plow unit needs a little help. Nice mods.?
Steve H Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Really nice work Mark. Your weathering is always spot on, and your mods on that plow are fantastic. Cheers, Steve
Paul Payne Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Your weathering and fabrication are great! Looking forward to more- and I assume snow will be involved?
slusher Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Good to see you building another project Mark,, looking great I will enjoy watching…
Smoke Wagon Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Great work so far. Really digging the plow modifications.
David G. Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 Nice weathering! This is the first time I've seen anyone articulate a plow, that should be really cool when it's done. David G.
mchook Posted February 1, 2022 Author Posted February 1, 2022 Thanks guys, This was supposed to be a quick build but the work on the plow is already more than it should be. I did some weathering on the plow, way too much on the back but I was playing with some new paints, added shoes and made new bumper brackets. I also built the rear of the cab, it's not great but better than just a flat piece. I think I'm going with a flatbed with a load of sand, maybe, we'll see.
Steve H Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Well…. That plow is a slam dunk, walk-off home run. Wow Mark, the amount of detail/weathering in the plow makes it a model all on its own. Really cool. Great stuff as always sir. Cheers, Steve

mchook Posted February 5, 2022 Author Posted February 5, 2022 I worked on the old Jeep today and built the bed for it. I'm not happy with it yet but it's getting there. I also got some paint on the cab too. Sorry for the crappy pics. 1
Steve H Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 Really nice wood work Mark! That’s a great looking flat deck.
slusher Posted February 5, 2022 Posted February 5, 2022 Nice bed Mark, nothing wrong with your pictures…
mchook Posted February 6, 2022 Author Posted February 6, 2022 Thanks guys. I figured I'd start a little weathering on the cab and share some of it with you. First I took my dremel to the inside and ground just enough to make the plastic bubble on the outside. Then I take an old blade and open the hole a little at a time from the inside. Once I have the holes opened enough I start with my chips and scratches here and there, nothing fancy just picking at it with a toothpick & knife. I lightly sand most of the edges of everything with some 600 paper just to give it a worn look. Then I start with the rust painting, starting with the darker and then washing and streaking in the lighter colors as I go. No real plan to it at all, I just kinda wing it.
mchook Posted February 13, 2022 Author Posted February 13, 2022 Not much of an update but I did get most of the weathering finished on the cab and added some wires and stuff to the firewall, it just looked way too empty. Nothing fancy or accurate but something to fill the void. I painted most of the molded in stuff under the hood and still have to weather it all too. I'm still not happy with the flatbed so I might toss it and build a step side for it. Again, this was supposed to be a quick build.? Maybe the next one, NOT! 1
espo Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Been quietly watching you progress on this build. I like how you built the wood flat bed. I like all the grimy details you are adding.
slusher Posted February 14, 2022 Posted February 14, 2022 Maybe add some stuff on the flatbed.. Just a suggestion..
