Another quick project, based in profile or pictures...



That beauty: Studebaker US6, from ICM:


Fantastic truck, but with an enormous defect: the wheels present the wheelwork band totally wrong:


I used the TankWorkShop Studebakerīs wheel upgrade set...


Specs:



Building the kit:
Note the resin wheels:


I didn't use the original engine. I made a carter with plasticard, just to fill out the space.




TWS wheels:


Cargo truck:



Building the snow plow, with plasticard:


The beams and reinforcements of chassis:



Aligning the dozer and the support:


...and:


Welding the forks of the plow:


...and setting up the forks and your reinforcements in plasticard:


...A vision front ...Tons of putty to seal gaps


Another views:















Painting using Olive drab, with up e downs color tones:





Next step: Future + decals...

I decided to write a patriotic slogan in the plow:

Cleaning the highway to the West!!!


(thanks to my friend JG, that supplied a correct orthography for me...)

After photographing this image, I added two exclamation marks at the end of the sentence....

The slogan was more emphatic and patriotic!!!

Very nice and quite an interesting project - thanks for sharing it here with us!

You don't see many Snow Plow Trucks on modeling forums like ours. What have you got planned next?
