Jeremy Olsen
Milton, Wisconsin
Snowplows take a beating in Wisconsin winters as Jeremy’s model shows. His modifications to Revell’s 1/24 scale ’78 GMC pickup snowplow include scratchbuilt window cranks, door handles inside and out, key plate, CB radio antenna, new plow chain and hydraulic lines, acetate rear and side windows, and details in the bed. After layering on red oxide and black Krylon primers, he sprayed the body with hairspray so he could effectively “chip” the subsequent coat of Tamiya acrylic with water on a stiff paintbrush. More weathering was done with artist oils for the extensive rust and dirt and exhaust stains at the back.
