Can't wait to see how you make the plow.

Thanks Chris, yeah I'll have to talk to Brian and get him to print me a stander with a shovel. Lol.

That's basically what I'm going to go for so I can remove it easily.

I don't recall seeing any plows on your other vehicles. Besides buckets on machines, blades on dozers, and your Blizzard SR, do you have any snow plows that we have not seen? Well if this is the first I am sure it will be nice. I am interested to see how you will raise/lower the plow and angle left to right. I know some of those older truck/plow setups did not even angle, they just lifted up and down.

Thanks Eddie, I have a SCX10 with a plow on it. This will be my first semi with a plow. Definitely going to do the up and down with a small linear actuator. The tilt I'll have to work on something, maybe a worm gear or something. I want it to work right but I don't want to compromise looks for function. I'll get it somehow, lol.
