1/24 scale GMC Snowplow (Wisconsin, 1980)
painted

This was - legitimately - the hardest model I've ever built - Revell 1/24 scale GMC Snowplow.
You may have seen this, partially completed, in Fine Scale Modeler's highlights from NIMCON 2021. Since those photos were taken, I added more simulated road salt weathering, fixed some rusted areas that looked incomplete, added the spare wheel, and added details to the truck bed. These include a plastic tarp made from duct tape, firewood from a stick, fallen leaves punched with PK-Pro's leaf punch, a rusted tow chain, and a scratchbuilt cooler and hand axe.
For as much swearing as I did during this build, I'm very happy with the results of the first automotive model I've completed in 25+ years.
