CCRR aquires a new/old plow

Modeling
#1

You take a perfectly new and collectible LGB Coke bobber, cut it up a little. Oh, and smash the box, you won’t be needing that anymore. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: Add an Aristo plow and you get:

Nice job John can I send my plow over to have one made???

#3

Sure!
I even have a highly collectible LGB WP&Y bobber we can use.
I’ll let you smash the box. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

#4

Blasphemy !!!

Sure made a nice plow though. Do you get snow up there in Spokane, or is it just for atmosphere ?

#5

Nice work John…pictures of the smashed box??
:lol:

#6

That looks great. Good job.

Jon.

#7

Nice looking plow, John. Good job.

#8

Smashed red boxes make good fire starters…for the old stove in the shop…

#9

Looks good John. Save the smashed red box for the winter run photo spread it will warm things up.

#10

Very nice work, John.

#11

Nice conversion of a bobber.
Although I never weather my stuff, I think you’ve done a great job weathering the bobber.
Subtle and realistic.

Phather, What a great fricken idea! Our next club meeting is at a members shop where we are going to work on our modules. He heats with a wood stove. I'll bring along a few extra Red Boxes, in case one doesn't do the trick. :) :)

Thanks, Guys, for your praise on the plow.
I think I’d better put some weight in it before it pushes snow.

John,

You a maze me with your creativity, scratch building skills, and weathering. Not to mention you just gave me a great idea for the Aristo plow thats sitting on my shelf down stairs. Keep up the great work and don’t forget to bring those “Red Boxes” to our next meeting we’ll take pictures so you can post them.

John looks great. I did the same with an USA wood sided cabeese.

My follow up was going to be: Then you will need to add some weight - but I noticed you already have that in the plan.
