JD530 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Well, the past few years I have been busy building snowplows. Everything except the cabs tires, tire chains and wheels are molded from a resin plastic. I documented the process(hey i was bored ) Oshkosh P50 Wing slides installed Box intalled At this point, I wasn't shure if the front plow was going to be a Vplow or one-way. It was a V! It was just sitting infront of the truck when the photo was taken. Side wing Now the wiring harness Plowmounts all painted and finished!! and tire chains installed Vplow installed All finished!!(finnaly) This thread took like an hour. I have more of the process of building another ploe, but haven't finished it yet. I will post them in this same thread instead of creating another. Hope you like them!

Kiwi6920 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Very nice, looks like alot of work in there Top job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Sweet baby jesus!! That is superb. All the rivet heads and bolts etc. . the snow chains... the lifting gear. . . what a superb amount of detail. So why snow plows then? Childhood memories of a family member driving them, or do you? Or just a bit of a fancey for them in general? You certainly capture them in model scale ver, very well. Oh and what scale is it? (Could you limit your pics to 6 per post please, just makes it a little easier for people with slower connections etc. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I know nothing about US spec trucks but I do like the look of them, always remind me of the Spielberg film 'Duel'... Thought I'd have a look for some photos after seeing this amazing build and found this site which may be of interest to some..... http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/mark_simiele.htm This is a cracking scratchbuild, look forward to seeing your other plough soon too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I use that site for both reference and drawing up my winning lottery ticket purchases, Simon! Must be an interesting bit of kit to drive, what kind of depth of snow are we talking in a typical winter for you guys to blade through?

JD530 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Oh...about 1-5 feet, however some of the drifts can reach 10-20 when the wind blows. This is about the exact same thing I run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
